Core Tip
Core Tip: Malnutrition is common in patients with acute leukemia (AL) due to the combined effects of the disease and anticancer therapy. AL, as a major stressor, increases patients’ physical and psychological burdens, which may impair treatment compliance and disease control. However, there is limited evidence on the relationship between psychological status, psychological resilience, and nutritional risk in patients with AL. Therefore, this study investigates the nutritional status of patients with AL, compares relevant data across nutritional groups, and examines psychological factors influencing nutritional risk in this population and its correlation with psychological status.
