Abstract
The main aim of this study was to explore the impact of functional impairment
and academic performance on the subjective well-being of university students with
migraine. 75 university students diagnosed with migraine with the age range of 18-28
years were recruited for the study. In these 75 participants 18 were males and 57 were
females and all belonged from different universities of Pakistan. Firstly, the
participants were asked to fill the Migraine Screening Questionnaire and once they
fulfilled the criteria, then they were selected for the study. Academic performance was
measured through Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the students. For
functional impairment and Subjective well-being, Weiss Functional Impairment Rating
Scale (WFIRS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used respectively. The
results indicated that multiple dimensions of functional impairment have a significant,
negative relationship with subjective wellbeing of university students. However,
academic performance of university students does not a significantly correlate with
their subjective well-being. Results further showed that Functional impairment
emerged as significant predictor of the later well-being of students explaining that
impairments in the domain of self-concept predicts the overall life satisfaction and
subjective well-being of university students. Strengths, limitations, implications and
future recommendations are discussed
