“…Research shows that effective utilization of the quadrant system entails extensive data collection, ideally with numerous data items collected in all four categories at each and every patient visit. 3 – 5 This accumulation of data not only aids the early diagnosis of COPD but also enables accurate assessment of the factors contributing to any given patient’s disease development and progression. This assessment, in turn, aids the selection of an appropriate course of treatment, which varies significantly from one patient to the next.…”

This paper identifies evolving trends in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and recommends the integration of nursing strategies in COPD management via widespread implementation of electronic health records. COPD is a complex lung disease with diverse origins, both physical and behavioral, manifested in a wide range of symptoms that further increase the patient’s risk for comorbidities. Early diagnosis and effective management of COPD require monitoring of a dizzying array of COPD symptoms over extended periods of time, and nurses are especially well positioned to manage potential progressions of COPD, as frontline health care providers who obtain, record, and organize patient data. Developments in medical technology greatly aid nursing management of COPD, from the deployment of spirometry as a diagnostic tool at the family practice level to newly approved treatment options, including non-nicotine pharmacotherapies that reduce the cravings associated with tobacco withdrawal. Among new medical technologies, electronic health records have proven particularly advantageous in the management of COPD, enabling providers to gather, maintain, and reference more patient data than has ever been possible before. Thus, consistent and widespread implementation of electronic health records facilitates the coordination of diverse treatment strategies, resulting in increased positive health outcomes for patients with COPD.

“…The nonsignificant relationship of negative feedback with self-concept among students could be attributed to the culture prevailing in Pakistan in which negative feedback or criticism from elder significant others is appreciated and considered essential for the development of children. The children recognized their elder significant others as being wise and possessing greater experience and thus the criticism is accepted (Qidwai et al, 2011). Negative feedback by the teachers thus might not have a significant effect on the self-concept of students.…”

Self-concept is set of personal schemas (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2002) that become more relevant during adolescence or teenage period (Fournier, 2018). Also, it is related to psychological well-being among adolescents (Marshall, 2001; McCullough, Huebner, & Laughlin, 2000). Although many factors contribute in building and shaping the self-concept in adolescents; but the present research intended to examine the role of Teacher’s feedback on the Self-concept among students. The study was conducted on sample (N=300) of students (M=15.6, SD=1.4); comprising of boys (n=150) and girls (n=150) from the public schools in urban areas of Islamabad, Pakistan. The study instruments; Teacher’s Feedback Scale (Burnett, 2003) and Adolescent’s Self-concept Short Scale (Veiga & Leite, 2016), were translated and adapted by the researcher with permission of original authors. Findings suggest that providing positive feedback about the ability of students predict a positive self-concept explaining 23% variance (DR=.228), whereas negative feedback is the non-significant negative predictor of the self-concept. The gender differences on both scales were also explored. Results can be employed to devise a teaching plan with a focus on positive feedback by teachers and avoiding negative one to help improve the self-concept among the students.

“…Women in Pakistan generally remain at home and do not have opportunities for socialization, which can lead to isolation and depression [8]. Futhermore, the death of a spouse, separation or divorce, financial insecurity, the trend towards nuclear families, children's move from their parents' home, or the lack of children to support families can lead to serious mental illness in elderly women in Pakistan [9]. despite these challenges, the majority of older adults remain silent and do not reach out to seek professional help, due to the lack of geriatric care at the community level [6].…”

This literature review focuses on the significant difficulties in mental health policies for older individuals in Pakistan. As the world population ages and the old population in South Asian countries, particularly Pakistan, grows, there is a clear dearth of specialized care for the aging populace. The assessment of literature highlights major challenges such as limited government funding, the influence of the nuclear family trend, and a lack of mental health training. Despite the obvious need for focused strategies, Pakistan has made little progress. Existing policies must be restructured immediately to line with the World Health Organization's active aging framework and the United Nations MIPAA (Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing). The review emphasizes the need for enhanced visibility, stakeholder collaboration, government financing for research, and policy restructuring about older adults mental health. There is major need to address the stereotypes and stigma related to aging which have negative impact on their quality of life and health. Establishing geriatric expertise in health care and creating policies for a quality aging process, is deemed necessary to enhance the mental health of older adults in Pakistan.
