A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON UNDERSTANDING FEAR AND APPREHENSIONS EXPERIENCED BY WOMEN WITH MISCARRIAGES
(0021-06-12) AIMAN ZAHID
ABSTRACT Pregnancy is an important life experience, and the loss of a pregnancy can have negative psychological consequences. Despite advances in our understanding of grieving following perinatal loss, there has been relatively little research particularly addressing bereavement following miscarriages. The goal of this study was to learn more about a group of Pakistani women's miscarriage experience. Semi-structured interviews with 3 women who had miscarriages, were used to use an interpretive phenomenology technique. In depth interviews and stories helped to gain a better understanding on the care that women received in the hospital. The data was analysed and interpreted using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Women's miscarriage experiences are characterised by a loss of hope. Three themes were explored in this study: 1) Dealing with the loss of hope, 2) regaining emotional equilibrium, and 3) recognising the need for intervention. Miscarriage is an inevitable event that has to be addressed right away. According to the findings, women gain from support from their husband, family, friends, and health care providers during and after a miscarriage. This study emphasizes the problems that women face as a result of miscarriage. Health practitioners must provide greater in-depth information and empathic treatment to women. The need of better understanding the emotional affects, behaviors, and coping techniques that women find to be significant in the field of social work is important because of the widespread nature of miscarriage. Professionals in the medical field must be trained to provide emotionally sympathetic treatment to these women.

The findings imply that personality traits are the strong predictors of better academic performance. However, several personality traits do not have a positive impact on the academic performance. The population of this research consists of students in various colleges and universities. Thus, the sample consists of bachelor's and master's students. Existing scales are adopted with minor changes to make it more suitable and understandable within the study context. A total of 154 questionnaires were distributed. Among these 154 questionnaires, 78 questionnaires were received from men and 76 were received from women for the purpose of data analysis. This shows an encouraging response from the targeted sample. Education and productivity of the students are influenced by their personality as well as their emotional intelligence abilities. The findings imply that being extrovert is a strong predictor of student achievement and should be prioritized in intervention strategies. Despite its low overall relative value, agreeableness is a significant driver of student achievement. The conclusions of the current study have significant consequences for educators and policymakers.

(KINNAIRD COLLEGE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT, 0023-06-12) SHANZEY KHAN
Old home living has become quite prevalent in Pakistan in recent years. But living in a facility is still different from living at home. Being separated from family and other social responsibilities must have a psychological impact on the residents of old age homes. This narrative inquiry was conducted to shed light on the impact living at an old age home has on the psychological state of women. This research was conducted using an interpretivist paradigm which is a part of the philosophical assumption. Purposeful sampling method was used and five women in two separate old age homes in Lahore were interviewed. After conducting the interviews, the recurrent themes were "Health-related concerns", "adverse life events", "challenges" and "coping mechanisms". These women had decided to live here on their own due to a lack of financial security and emotional instability in their homes. The participants ranged from ages 60 to 75 years and had been living in these homes for over two months to 8 years. A lot of them had troubled marriages due to being married at a very early age, were ignored by their children, and were cast out by their families. All this led to them battling depression and anxiety along with medical issues that come with old age like high blood pressure and diabetes. Having led very tough lives navigating through a male-dominated society as an alone woman they had developed certain coping mechanisms to stay afloat. Some were healthy and some led to negative results like denial, depleted self-esteem, and self-blaming. Lack of sociability with other residents and family members leads to them feeling isolated and abandoned due to which hopelessness was greatly observed. This all leads to bitterness, negativity, and toxicity becoming an avid part of their personalities. This research intends to highlight the mental health of these women and in turn, spread awareness about the importance of the psychological health of the female residents of old age homes in Pakistan. Keywords: Psychological impact, emotional instability, medical issues, isolated, Coping Mechanisms.
