Abstract
Haemophilia causes spontaneous or prolonged bleeding due to a deficiency in clotting factor VIII (haemophilia A) or IX (haemophilia B). Although substitutive therapies and regular follow-up can prevent severe haemorrhagic events, adherence to treatment remains a challenge. Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood and from paediatric to adult care is particularly complex for young people with severe haemophilia (PwSH), as it involves gaining autonomy in health management.
Keywords: adherence; adolescents; haemophilia; quality of life; transition; young adults.
