Infertility care is often directed by a biomedical approach rather than a holistic approach, especially in African countries. This article explores the opinions of health care providers regarding holistic health care interventions in managing women with infertility in Ghana. Data were retrieved using a qualitative design and nominal group technique with a purposive sample of 12 health care providers in Ghana. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Health care providers explored various psychological, educational, spiritual, social, and medical interventions to ensure women diagnosed with infertility receive holistic treatment and attain optimal health.

“…Many of these modalities are, however, associated with significant comorbidity, like ovarian hyperstimulation after ovulation induction, and obstetrics complications 12. Infertility and its treatment can be a stressful life experience, and a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach is of paramount importance in the treatment of both men and women, including addressing their social, emotional, psychological and cultural needs 13…”

IntroductionPatient-centred infertility care (PCIC) is one of the quality indicators of effective fertility care. The application of this indicator requires a clear definition from the patient’s perspective. This proposed scoping review aims to explore the extent and nature of published scientific literature on PCIC in the past decade, identify gaps in the literature and define PCIC from infertile patients’ perspectives.Methods and analysisWe will conduct the proposed scoping review following the method of Arksey and O’Malley. The literature search will include studies published from 2009 to 2019, and will be conducted on the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases; reference lists will be mined for literature not contained on these databases. A grey literature search will also be conducted. To be included in the review, studies should have been conducted on people with a history of infertility, with a focus on patient-centred fertility care. Studies that have not been published in full text and studies published in languages other than English will be excluded. After study selection, data will be charted in a prepared form. We will analyse the data using descriptive numerical and qualitative thematic analyses to answer the research questions. NVivo V.12 will be used for data extraction.Ethics and disseminationThis work does not warrant any ethical or safety concerns. This scoping review will synthesise existing literature on PCIC, and the results will be published to be readily available for clinical audiences and policymakers. These findings may support clinicians and decision-makers in applying PCIC, thereby promoting high-quality healthcare in the concerned population.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in social awareness of environmental problems related to high waste generation, oil scarcity and the growing need to reduce the carbon footprint. In this context, polymers from renewable sources can successfully reduce the use of fossil resources. This research work presents the study of polymer matrix composites from high density polyethylene of renewable origin (bioHPDE) and fibers extracted from the strobili of the common pine (Pinus halepensis) typical of the Mediterranean area, characterized by its high percentage of cellulose, and for being very abundant in the natural and economic environment. The research has focused on the influence of a compatibilizing agent based on polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride on the final performance of the composite material. The resulting composites have been processed by extrusion and subsequent injection molding and a characterization focused on mechanical and thermal properties has been carried out. The results have demonstrated the optimization of the performance of the composite by using the compatibilizer, offering a significant improvement of the fiber-matrix interaction and thus validating its use in this type of composites. The result is a wood plastic composite (WPC) with a wide range of properties depending on the filler content used, providing a highly versatile material with applications in various industrial sectors.
