Abstract

The global crisis in graduate student mental health is well-documented, yet research from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains scarce. This study addresses this gap by conducting a sociological analysis of the nexus between academic stress and mental well-being among graduate students in Sindh, Pakistan, a context marked by significant socioeconomic constraints. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed, using a structured questionnaire administered to a stratified random sample of 250 M.Phil. and Ph.D. students from Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression, and Chi-square tests. The analysis reveals that academic stress, financial precarity, and gender are significant predictors of poor mental well-being. Fear of unemployment/job insecurity was the highest-ranked stressor (Mean=8.92). Self-funded students were significantly more likely to report severe anxiety (41.2%) than those with grants (8.3%). Female gender was a significant predictor of poorer well-being (β=.121, p=.016). Conversely, social support demonstrated a strong protective effect (β=-.385, p<.001). The findings indicate that psychological distress among graduate students is not an individual failing but a socially structured outcome, produced by a confluence of systemic pressures, economic insecurity, and institutional practices. The study argues for a paradigm shift from pathologizing individual resilience to reforming the socioeconomic and institutional architectures of graduate education in developing contexts.

Abstract

Tobacco smoking remains a formidable public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding cigarette smoking among 800 residents of Lahore, selected via a multi-stage sampling technique. The findings reveal a smoking prevalence of 23%, with initiation primarily occurring in late adolescence (mean age 19.2 years) and driven predominantly by peer pressure (75%) and stress relief (56.3%). While knowledge of major health risks like lung cancer was high (94%), a significant gap existed between this knowledge and personal risk perception, alongside the powerful influence of socio-cultural norms, including the high social acceptability of male smoking (75.5%) and the perceived efficacy of smoking for stress relief (81.8%). The study concludes that despite adequate awareness, smoking behavior in Lahore is sustained by deep-rooted social and cultural factors, underscoring the urgent need for public health interventions that extend beyond informational campaigns to address these normative and psychological drivers.
