Background and Objective: Depression and anxiety are very common in patients with cardiac diseases. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not only decreased mortality but angina, heart failure and recurrent hospitalization all are improved. Therefore, anxiety and depression associated with fibrinolytic therapy in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are expected to be decreased in the patient undergoing PCI. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. Methods: This study was conducted at Larkana Satellite Center of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Pakistan from August 2018 to December 2018. Patients who underwent cardiac intervention within one month were enrolled in this study. Patients were interviewed regarding their basic demographics, indication for intervention and procedure details. Symptoms of anxiety were assessed using the translation of inventory of SAS (Zung’s Self-Rating Anxiety Scale). Patients were interviewed for depression by using Becks depression inventory (BDI). Results: A total of 153 patients were included in this study out of which 118(77.1%) were males and 35(22.5%) were females. All were married except one. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was present in 61(39.9%), hypertension (HTN) in 69(45.15%), obesity in 15(9.8%), and 40 (26.1%) were smokers. Depression was present in 16 (10.5%) patients and anxiety was present in 12(7.5%) of patients. On analysis of the association of various factor with depression; non-diabetics, housewives, laborers and uneducated were found to be more depressed. While those who smoke or earn more than 50 thousand were found less likely to be depressed. Conclusion: Both depression and anxiety were present in only 10.5% and 7.5% of the patients after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.5.1749 How to cite this:Mujtaba SF, Sial JA, Karim M.

“…This research analyzes the importance of humor utilized by the advertisers and promotors of products of telecom companies in Pakistan i.e., Ufone and Jazz (Mobilink). For instance, telecom industry (in Pakistan) would merge humor in advertisements to attract customers as the life of Pakistani people is full of depression along with other chronic diseases (Godil et al, 2017). So, the trust level would be increased if the advertisements and promotions keep a significant level of humor to re/shape anti-depressive ideologies (WEFUSA, 2016, p. 13).…”

The present study explores and analyzes the role of humor in the advertisement as the message in advertisements keeps a pivotal value constructing and promoting the idea of promotional activity by any company. So, the companies and promoters of products utilize and employ various distinctive and discursive strategies to promote their products focusing on the interests of their consumers. The research concludes that Pakistan is the one amongst other countries, in which, advertisers and promotors utilize humor as an important feature in advertainments at a huge level. Along with entertainment, the promoters promote the text and its discourse through humor which influences the decision-buying process of consumers. However, they often try to utilize humor neutralizing the social or personal values. Recent studies prove that intelligent and sensible use of humor by the companies can lead them to success if it is more relevant to the products’ nature and function. A Multi-Modal Approach, employing Fairclough’s (1989) 3D model along with Kress and van Leeuwen’s (1996) grammar of visual design, is employed to analyze data. The findings of the study suggest that the humor if handled properly, can play a vital role in captivating consumers’ interest towards the product as it takes them away from the tensions of life and makes the product more appealing. Moreover, humor as a monotony breaker makes the ad more attractive that ultimately adds to the promotion of the product.
