Patients′ characteristics are dynamic factors, subjective norms are situational factors, perceptual behavior control is protective factors, and patients′ disease coping style is regulatory factors.Conclusion:This study explored the influencing factors of fertility motivation in CKD patients from the perspective of patients, aiming to provide theoretical basis for the formulation and implementation of intervention measures.
