  • Associations between exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and infant developmental delay

    Open AccessAnum Nisar, Soim Park et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a significant threat to women’s wellbeing and child development, particularly in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite its prevalence, research in LMICs on the effects of IPV on child development remains limited. This study investigates the association between IPV and different domains of child development as well as the moderating role of women’s empowerment. Participants included 397 women with a…

  • Receipt of a psychosocial intervention for prenatal anxiety and risk of perinatal intimate partner violence in Pakistani women

    Open AccessSoim Park, Abid Malik et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Mental health and intimate partner violence (IPV) are urgent public health problems in the perinatal period. We examined whether a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention designed to lower prenatal anxiety led to differing risk of perinatal IPV between the intervention and control arms. We investigated if social support or spousal relationship quality in the third trimester mediated this association. The analysis included 755 pregnant Pak…

  • Self-reported problems and functional difficulties in anxious pregnant women in Pakistan

    Open AccessNida Rauf, Soim Park et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…2024Referências: 29

    Anxiety during pregnancy affects women worldwide and is highly prevalent in Pakistan. The Psychological Outcome Profiles (PSYCHLOPS) questionnaire is an instrument used in therapy to assess patient-generated problems and the consequent functional difficulties. Using the PSYCHLOPS, we aimed to describe the type of problems and the consequent functional difficulties faced by anxious pregnant women in Pakistan. Secondarily, we sought to explore if a…

    Open AccessAbbas Zaidi, Aasia Khan et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2022

    Background: Pregnancy experiences influence fetal and birth outcomes. There is scarcity of locally validated tools to assess pregnancy experiences. We aimed to validate the Pregnancy Experience Scale-Brief (PES-Brief) in pregnant Pakistani women with anxiety symptoms. Methods: A two-step process was used including 1) adaptation via translation/back-translation followed by cognitive interviewing with 10 participants and 2) factor analysis and vali…

  • Longitudinal effects of perinatal social support on maternal depression

    A K Hagaman, Katherine LeMasters et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2021Citada por: 1Referências: 42

    BACKGROUND: Depression in the perinatal period, during pregnancy or within 1 year of childbirth, imposes a high burden on women with rippling effects through her and her child's life course. Social support may be an important protective factor, but the complex bidirectional relationship with depression, alongside a paucity of longitudinal explorations, leaves much unknown about critical windows of social support exposure across the perinatal peri…

  • Fluidity and acculturation

    Abbas Zaidi, Maya Khemlani DavidARTICLESouth Asian Diaspora2015

    This paper traces the history of Pakistani Punjabis living in Brunei Darussalam, a community that began its journey long before the country’s establishment as a sovereign country in 1984. The most significant feature of this community is its fluidity because its stay in Brunei is not permanent. This makes the Punjabis a non-local/non-native community, which is markedly different from Punjabi communities living in countries such as Canada, New Zea…

  • Exiled in its own land

    Abbas ZaidiARTICLESouth Asian Diaspora2014

    Diasporic studies are about groups of people living as exiles, self-exiles, migrants and immigrants. Suppression of diasporic communities in various forms in their former (but original) homeland and/or adopted homeland has been the major concern of diasporic studies. Issues such as language, culture, identity and religion form core areas of these studies. Recently, the peripheral existence of various minorities within a country/society has led to…
