Based on latent profile analysis, this study identified subtypes of quality of life and their relationships with social support and self-efficacy of patients with hematologic malignancies. A total of 284 patients with HMs completed the Chinese version of the Social support Rate Scale, General Selfefficacy Scale, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-core 30. The results showed that (1) the LPA revealed three subtypes of quality of life of patients with HMs, a group with high quality of life, a group with medium quality of life group, and a group with low quality of life, and (2) social support scores were significantly higher in the high quality of life group than in the medium quality of life group, additionally, the high quality of life group scored significantly higher in self-efficacy than both the medium and low quality of life groups. Quality of life can predict social support and self-efficacy of patients with HMs, and the high quality of life group showed greater social support than the medium quality of life group. In addition, the high quality of life group had higher levels of self-efficacy than the medium and low quality of life groups.
