Routine screening with age-specific tools may improve the identification and addressing of concerns. The Adolescent and Young Adult Psycho-Oncology Screening Tool (AYA-POST) is a validated instrument, yet little is known about how AYAs and healthcare professionals (HCPs) experience its use in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To explore how the AYA-POST supports AYAs in identifying, prioritizing, and communicating the health concerns most important to them and to examine HCP perspectives on patient engagement, communication, and decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a qualitative study combining semi-structured individual interviews with AYAs (18\u201339\u00a0years) in a treatment trajectory for acute leukemia or malignant lymphoma and focus group interviews with physicians and nurses. Patients completed the AYA-POST prior to two consultations; interviews followed the second visit.

The tool uncovered often-overlooked physical, psychological, and sensitive issues, including sexual health and emotional well-being, and promoted patient empowerment. HCPs reported that it expanded consultations beyond biomedical symptoms and encouraged patient-centered dialogue. Challenges included time constraints, variability in patient readiness, staff training needs, and practical issues with paper-based forms. Both groups highlighted the importance of flexible timing, multidisciplinary collaboration, and integration into routine workflows.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The AYA-POST can strengthen patient-centered communication and empowerment in hematological AYA care.
