The Impact of Health Awareness and Access to Primary Healthcare on Preventive Health Behavior among Adults in Pakistan
type: item
description: Preventive health behavior is a key determinant of population health and an essential component of disease prevention strategies in Pakistan. This study explores how health awareness and access to primary healthcare shape preventive health behavior among adults. Health awareness is conceptualized as individuals’ understanding of disease prevention, healthy lifestyles, and basic hygiene, while access to primary healthcare reflects the availability and ease of obtaining essential health services. Preventive health behavior is examined through practices such as timely vaccination, routine health checkups, and adherence to hygienic measures. Adopting a cross-sectional approach, the study analyzes the relationships between these factors to identify their relative influence on preventive practices. The findings indicate that greater health awareness and improved access to primary healthcare are strongly associated with more consistent engagement in preventive behaviors. The results suggest that efforts to improve adult health outcomes should prioritize public health education alongside strengthening primary healthcare systems. Addressing both knowledge and access barriers may contribute to sustainable improvements in preventive health practices and reduce avoidable disease burden in Pakistan

Impact of Parental Education and Hygiene Practices on the Nutritional Status of Children under Five in Pakistan
type: item
description: Child malnutrition remains a critical public health challenge in Pakistan, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality among children under five. This study examines the impact of parental education and household hygiene practices on the nutritional status of young children. Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from households across urban and rural regions of Pakistan through anthropometric measurements. Parental education levels were assessed based on formal schooling, while hygiene practices included handwashing, safe water use, and sanitation measures. Nutritional status of children was determined using weight-for-age and height-for-age indices. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression to evaluate the influence of independent variables on child nutrition. Findings indicate that higher parental education and better hygiene practices are significantly associated with improved nutritional outcomes, highlighting the importance of integrated interventions targeting both education and sanitation. The study underscores the need for public health policies that promote parental awareness and household hygiene to reduce childhood malnutrition in Pakistan.

Crisis of Masculinity in Modern English Fiction: A Thematic Exploration of Male Identity and Emotional Alienation
type: item
description: This article investigates the crisis of masculinity in modern English fiction through a thematic analysis of male identity and emotional alienation. Drawing on a corpus of contemporary novels and short fiction, the study examines how male characters negotiate changing social, economic, and relational expectations in a post-industrial and post-feminist cultural landscape. The analysis identifies five dominant thematic patterns: fractured provider identity, emotional inarticulacy, intimacy breakdown, masculinity as surveillance and competition, and intersectional forms of shame. Together, these themes reveal masculinity as a precarious performance rather than a stable identity, sustained through emotional restraint, self-monitoring, and withdrawal from vulnerability. The findings demonstrate that emotional alienation is not merely an individual psychological condition but a culturally structured outcome of masculine norms that reward stoicism and autonomy while discouraging dependence and care. By situating literary representations alongside contemporary gender theory, the article argues that modern English fiction functions as a critical site for exposing the affective costs of hegemonic masculinity and for imagining, albeit tentatively, alternative modes of male emotional life and relational belonging.

The Impact of Code-Switching, Language Anxiety, and Classroom Interaction on English Language Proficiency: The Mediating Role of Motivation among University Students in Pakistan
type: item
description: This study investigates how code switching, language anxiety, and classroom interaction shape English language proficiency among university students in Pakistan, with a particular focus on the mediating role of motivation. English, as both a global language and a marker of social mobility in South Asia, creates a complex linguistic environment where students often navigate between their native languages and English in academic contexts. The research aims to explore how frequent reliance on code switching affects language acquisition, how anxiety in speaking or writing English hinders proficiency, and how interactive practices in the classroom foster greater fluency and confidence. Employing a mixed-methods design, the study utilizes surveys to measure levels of anxiety, motivation, and proficiency alongside qualitative interviews to capture students’ personal experiences with code switching and interaction. Preliminary findings suggest that while code switching can ease comprehension and participation, it often slows long-term language mastery, particularly when paired with high anxiety. However, motivation emerges as a powerful mediator, transforming anxiety and linguistic challenges into opportunities for persistence and improvement. These results highlight the importance of pedagogical strategies that reduce anxiety, balance code-switching practices, and strengthen motivation to enhance overall proficiency.

The Role of Gender, Power, and Resistance in Shaping Female Subjectivity: A Feminist Study of South Asian Women Writers in English
type: item
description: This study examines the complex intersections of gender, power, and resistance in shaping female subjectivity within the works of South Asian women writers in English. South Asian literature has increasingly become a site for negotiating questions of identity, oppression, and empowerment, where women authors challenge patriarchal narratives and reframe cultural discourses through their creative expression. The primary objective of this research is to analyze how female subjectivity is constructed, contested, and redefined in selected texts, with particular attention to feminist theoretical frameworks. The methodology adopts a qualitative and interpretive approach, employing close textual analysis of novels and short stories by writers such as Kamila Shamsie, Arundhati Roy, and Jhumpa Lahiri. The study highlights how themes of resistance, agency, and self-representation emerge in response to patriarchal power structures and socio-political constraints. Findings suggest that these writers not only critique dominant ideologies but also create alternative spaces for women’s voices and experiences, contributing to broader feminist discourses in postcolonial literature. The research carries significant implications for understanding how English-language literature from South Asia functions as a medium of resistance, empowerment, and cultural redefinition.

The Effects of Financial Literacy, Service Quality, and Corporate Reputation on Customer Investment Loyalty: The Mediating Roles of Trust and Perceived Value
type: item
description: In the competitive financial services sector, firms need to align financial literacy initiatives with marketing and management strategies to sustain customer loyalty. Financial literacy empowers customers to make informed choices, while service quality and corporate reputation act as critical relational drivers. However, limited research had examined how these factors jointly shape customer investment loyalty through psychological and value-based mechanisms. This study examined the effects of financial literacy, service quality, and corporate reputation on customer investment loyalty, with the mediating roles of trust and perceived value. A quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 400 individual investors and clients of financial institutions in Pakistan. The hypothesized model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results revealed that financial literacy, service quality, and corporate reputation significantly enhanced customer investment loyalty. Moreover, trust and perceived value partially mediated these relationships, confirming their critical roles in translating marketing and management practices into long-term customer commitment. The study contributed to marketing and management literature by integrating financial literacy into loyalty research and highlighting the mediating roles of trust and perceived value.

The Role of Workplace Stress, Sleep Patterns, and Dietary Choices in Predicting Cardiovascular Health: The Mediating Effect of Physical Activity in Pakistan
type: item
description: This study investigates the role of workplace stress, sleep patterns, and dietary choices in predicting cardiovascular health, with physical activity analyzed as a mediating factor in the context of Pakistan. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and lifestyle-related determinants are particularly critical in developing countries where preventive health measures remain limited. The objectives of the study are to examine the direct effects of stress, sleep, and diet on cardiovascular health, and to explore how physical activity mediates these relationships. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 320 employed adults in Pakistan, utilizing a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Findings reveal that high workplace stress, irregular sleep, and unhealthy dietary practices negatively affect cardiovascular health, while physical activity significantly mediates these associations by reducing the adverse impacts of stress and lifestyle risks. The study underscores the importance of workplace wellness initiatives, awareness programs on sleep hygiene and nutrition, and the promotion of physical activity as an essential buffer against cardiovascular risks. These findings carry strong implications for health policy and organizational health programs in Pakistan, highlighting the need for integrated lifestyle-based interventions to combat the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases.

The Role of Family Dynamics, Health Literacy, and Community Support in Shaping Mental Well-Being: The Mediating Effect of Social Stigma in Urban Pakistan
type: item
description: This study explores the role of family dynamics, health literacy, and community support in shaping mental well-being, with social stigma examined as a mediating factor in the urban context of Pakistan. Mental health remains an under-addressed dimension of public health, particularly in developing countries where social stigma creates barriers to seeking care. The primary objectives of the research are to assess the direct influence of family dynamics, health literacy, and community support on mental well-being, and to determine the mediating effect of social stigma in this relationship. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was employed, targeting urban populations across major cities in Pakistan, with data collected from 300 respondents through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. Statistical analyses, including regression and mediation tests, were conducted to establish relationships among the variables. Findings indicate that supportive family dynamics, higher health literacy, and strong community networks significantly contribute to better mental well-being, while social stigma partially mediates these relationships by weakening the positive effects of these factors. The study highlights that reducing stigma is crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of family and community-based interventions. These insights provide valuable implications for public health policy and urban mental health programs in Pakistan, underscoring the need for integrated strategies that combine awareness, literacy, and social inclusion initiatives to strengthen mental well-being.

The Influence of Health Literacy, Media Exposure, and Community Support on Preventive Health Behavior: The Mediating Role of Risk Perception
type: item
description: Preventive health behavior remains a cornerstone of public health strategy, particularly in the face of recurring communicable diseases and health emergencies. This study explores the influence of health literacy, media exposure, and community support on individuals’ engagement in preventive health behaviors, with risk perception examined as a mediating factor. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 400 adult participants across urban and semi-urban regions, utilizing standardized instruments to assess levels of health literacy, frequency of media exposure to public health messages, perceived community support, and actual engagement in preventive actions such as vaccination, regular screenings, and hand hygiene. The proposed relationships were tested with the help of structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings indicated that there were important positive relationships between all the three independent variables and preventive health behavior, and that risk perception partially mediated these relationships. Patients with a high health literacy level and higher media exposure had increased perceptions of personal health risk and this increased the tendency to engage in prevention. Community support had a positive direct positive impact on engagement, which was enhanced by increasing risk awareness. The findings highlight the importance of combined strategies in the public health system that both inform and develop the feeling of vulnerability in order to improve behavior.
