The field of women's health covers various physical, emotional, and social aspects. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of improving women's health. Women face a plethora of problems including infertility, cancer, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disorders amongst others. These health problems are compounded with gender disparities, lack of access to healthcare, denials of reproductive rights, aging and poverty. To surmount these challenges, comprehensive approaches, including improved access to healthcare, awareness programs, mental health support, and addressing gender bias and environmental health concerns are required. Precision medicine has the potential to transform outcomes for women with chronic and genetic diseases. Digital technologies have revolutionized healthcare access and monitoring for women, enabling remote consultations and self-monitoring of health conditions. Advancements in breast and cervical cancer screening, such as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing, have improved early detection and prevention. While there is still work to be done in addressing the challenges and disparities in women's health, these medical advancements offer hope for improved outcomes and better quality of life for women. Continuous research, awareness and policy adjustments are still needed to promote woman's health on a global scale in the future.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of targeted nursing intervention on postoperative medication adherence, quality of life, and psychological flexibility of patients with thyroid cancer (TC).MethodsA total of 330 patients were randomly divided into a Control group and an Intervention group (cases in the Intervention group were given targeted nursing interventions and cases in the Control group were given routine health education), with 165 cases in each group. In the Intervention group, targeted dietary and psychological nursing interventions were conducted on TC patients, and the effects of targeted nursing interventions on the quality of life, medication adherence, and psychological flexibility were compared through the SF‐36 Short Form Health Survey, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Psychological Resilience Scale with the Control group. Univariate analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis were performed to analyze the influencing factors of psychological flexibility in patients after nursing intervention.ResultsThe Intervention group patients, after nursing intervention, in terms of life quality, scores of social function, physical function, and mental function were all higher than those of the Control group. Note that, 160 patients in the Intervention group (96.97%) had better treatment scores, which was significantly higher than that in the Control group (84.24%). The scores of mental resilience in the Intervention group reached 67.82 ± 13.85, and the two items of resilience, control, and optimism were significantly improved compared with the Control group (p < 0.05). Factors that had greater impacts on the psychological flexibility of TC patients were: age, education, per capita monthly income, and family residence.ConclusionTargeted nursing intervention had positive promoting effects on postoperative medication adherence, quality of life, and psychological flexibility of TC patients.

Infertility refers to the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Psychosocial aspects of infertility research are predominant in developed countries. A scoping review of psychosocial aspects of infertility research conducted in Africa between 2000 and 2022 was conducted. Twelve databases and grey literature were searched for articles. Studies were included if they were published in English and included findings from patients diagnosed with primary or secondary infertility. A total of 2 372 articles were initially found and screening resulted in 116 articles being included in the scoping review. Most of the studies (81%) were conducted in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. Psychosocial aspects explored included quality of life, barriers to treatment, attitudes and stigma, and sociocultural and religious aspects of infertility, among others. The review maps published psychosocial research in the context of infertility in Africa and identifies gaps for future research.
