Abstract:
Objective:To analyze and elaborate on the concept connotation of fertility preservation, so as to provide guidance for clinical nursing practice.Methods:Research on fertility preservation was retrieved from databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. The search period was from the establishment of the database to January 31, 2025. Literature was selected based on inclusion criteria and analyzed using Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis method.Results:A total of 43 articles were included. The conceptual attributes of fertility preservation encompassed five aspects, including targeting individuals with reproductive needs, prioritizing prevention, covering multi-level medical interventions, relying on assisted reproductive technologies for preservation, and being oriented toward enhancing fertility capacity and quality. The implementation of fertility preservation was influenced by demographic factors, disease factors, medical resources, and cultural factors. The anticipated outcomes included not only delayed childbirth but also improved in patients' mental health, quality of life, and interpersonal relationships. However, this may also raise ethical concerns.Conclusions:Fertility preservation plays a vital role in maintaining birth rates and enhancing population quality. Defining the concept of fertility preservation helps healthcare providers understand its essence and provides a reference for developing scientifically grounded fertility preservation programs.
