Abstract：
Although issues pertaining to infertility affect both males and females, women often become victims of stigmatization and rejection, making them susceptible to emotional pain and suffering. Due to these psychosocial problems, they require not only biomedical treatment, but also psychological, social, and spiritual support. Unfortunately, many women with infertility are not treated holistically. The aim of this review was to retrieve existing evidence of holistic healthcare interventions for women with infertility. Global databases were searched for articles published anywhere in the world between 2010 to 2018 that explored holistic healthcare interventions for women diagnosed with infertility. A total of 18 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were assessed, and data extraction was performed. Findings revealed that interventions adopted in managing infertile women alongside the bio-medical management included: counseling; cognitive behavioral therapy; acceptance and commitment therapy; educational interventions; spiritual interventions; emotionally focused therapy/intervention and integrative body-mind-spirit interventions. The results of this review have implications for healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care of women diagnosed with infertility in Ghana and Africa at large.
摘要：
尽管与不孕症有关的问题会影响男性和女性，妇女经常成为污名化和排斥的受害者，使他们容易受到情感上的痛苦和折磨。由于这些社会心理问题，它们不仅需要生物医学治疗，还有心理上的，社会,和精神支持。不幸的是,许多患有不孕症的女性没有得到全面的治疗。这篇综述的目的是检索对不孕症妇女进行整体医疗干预的现有证据。在全球数据库中搜索了2010年至2018年间在世界任何地方发表的文章，这些文章探讨了针对被诊断患有不孕症的女性的整体医疗干预措施。共评估了18篇符合纳入标准的文章,并进行数据提取。研究结果表明，与生物医学管理一起管理不育妇女所采用的干预措施包括：咨询；认知行为疗法；接受和承诺疗法；教育干预；精神干预；以情感为中心的治疗/干预和身心综合干预。这项审查的结果对医疗保健专业人员有意义，以确保加纳和非洲诊断为不孕症的妇女的整体护理。
