“…Depression and anxiety during pandemic COVID -19 have been shown to worsen the quality of Life , might play a role in male infertility due to possible alterations in scrotal temperature, with being preferred, although the evidence is not compelling or definitive [43,44]. While avoiding hot baths, saunas, and tight-fitting underwear have not been conclusively demonstrated to significantly improve male fertility, it is not unreasonable to discuss these suggestions with patients.…”

Infertility is usually well-defined as the inability of a couple to conceive even after one year of unprotected, frequent sexual intercourse [1,2]. At least 180 million people worldwide and about 15% of all couples in the US are affected by it [3,4]. Male infertility is defined as the inability of a male to successfully carry a fertile female to term, also for at least one year of unprotected sexual activity. About 20% of all cases of infertility are solely the male's fault, and another 30% to 40% have the male as a contributing factor [5]. Due to the frequent coexistence of male and female causes of infertility, it is crucial that both partners undergo infertility testing and receive joint management. A total of 50% of all cases of infertility are significantly attributed to the male factor [6-8]. Even though clinical emphasis still dominates research, more studies are now situating infertility within broader social contexts and social scientific frameworks. Methodological issues persist, but there have also been significant advances. In the social scientific study of infertility, we identify two active research traditions. In order to enhance service delivery and determine the need for psychological counseling, one tradition studies clinic patients primarily using quantitative techniques. The other tradition uses primarily qualitative research to capture the experiences of infertile people in a sociocultural context. We conclude that more attention is now being paid to the ways in which the experience of infertility is shaped by social context. We call for continued progress in the development of a distinctly sociological approach to infertility and for the continued integration of the two research traditions identified here.

“…Non-compliance with medical recommendations among patients with non-communicable diseases was primarily due to fear of contagion and generalized anxiety related to the massive media coverage of the pandemic and related illnesses (Guo et al, 2020). Women were found to be more likely to drop out of medical follow-up observations during the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to men (Hassan et al, 2022).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need to strengthen public health systems. In response, the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Public Health System Resilience Scorecard (Scorecard) was applied in workshops across multiple countries. The aim of our research was to explore the workshop findings to develop priority strategies for strengthening public health system resilience. We conducted a workshop from 14 to 16 March 2023, at the UNDRR Global Education and Training Institute in Incheon, Republic of Korea. A sequential modified Delphi method was utilized to develop a set of prioritized resilience strategies. These were drawn from 70 strategies identified from 13 distinct workshops in eight countries. After two surveys, 23 strategies were finalized. Ten received ratings of “High” or “Very High” from 89% of participants. These related to the inclusion of public health risks in emergency plans, integrating multidisciplinary teams into public health, enabling local transport mechanisms, and improving the ability to manage an influx of patients. The Scorecard provides an adaptable framework to identify and prioritize strategies for strengthening public health system resilience. By leveraging this methodology, our study demonstrated how resilience strategies could inform disaster risk reduction funding, policies, and actions.
