A multi-phase structured cascade model for mass training of community healthcare workers in performing clinical breast exams in remote regions
Background: Clinical breast exam (CBE) by outreach healthcare workers (HCW) may help downstage breast cancer in resource-limited areas where mammography may not be feasible. We evaluated the effectiveness of a pilot cascade-model training programme for HCWs in remote areas of Pakistan. Methods: The training programme comprised three phases. In phase one, fellowship-trained breast surgeons at a metropolitan academic centre trained six HCWs to perf…
Clinical and psychosocial factors associated with quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer
The QoL of patients with H&N cancer in Pakistan is affected by both the nature of cancer treatment as well as sociocultural factors such the number of household family members. Given that poorer QoL is associated with worse mental health outcomes, there is a need to develop and implement psychosocial interventions to improve the QoL of patients with H&N cancer in Pakistan, particularly during active treatment
Psychometric properties of the Urdu version of the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 (European organization for research and treatment of cancer head and neck module) quality of life tool
Our Urdu translation of the EORTC QLQ-H&N35 demonstrated validity comparable to previous studies, with good discriminant construct validity when measured against resilience, depression, and anxiety. An issue of concern is the poor internal consistency of the "Senses Problems" domain. Nevertheless, the Urdu translation produced in this study serves as a valid and reliable measure to measure QoL in H&N cancer in clinical or research settings in Pak…
Factors motivating smoking cessation
Little is known about the patterns and strategies employed by smokers who are attempting to quit smoking, especially in lower-middle-income countries like Pakistan. Likewise, there are very few smoking cessation programs designed to assist in quitting. Our study will allow for a better understanding of the culture-specific motivating factors and strategies that most contributed to successful quit attempts. Based on these results, evidence based s…
