Hereditary hematology is one of the most common genetic diseases around the world, with the incidence not only of a specific group but also of specific regions of the world. Thalassemia is one of the most prevalent genetic blood diseases, resulting in a decrease in hemoglobin. As a result of the inability of the bone marrow to efficiently manufacture red blood pellets, the disease leads to high levels of iron in the blood as a result of the decay of red blood pellets. And so to complications and damage the body's biomarkers, like the heart, liver, pancreas, spleen swelling, bone deformity. Thus, the psychological and social condition is affected by the physical condition, as the patient expresses a low level of satisfaction with the quality of his or her new life after having a disease that will accompany him or her throughout his or her life. If he suffers from feelings of powerlessness, vulnerability and unwillingness to do any work, adolescents are considered to be groups that are highly affected by thalassemia. In view of the importance of the concept of quality of life for thalassemia patients, the high prevalence of the disease in Syria and the lack of sufficient studies in this area in recent years, we have carried out this research aimed at assessing the quality of life of adolescents infected with thalassemia.
