Objective: To find out the mediating role of perceived social support between perfectionism and self-harm in medical and nursing students. Methodology: This Cross-sectional research design using questionnaires was conducted in the government and private medical universities of Pakistan (Lahore). The total 250 number of participants were chosen by using multi-stage sampling techniques, in which two strata were made, MBBS (145) and nursing students (105). The participants belonged to private and government sector with the age range 18-25 years. There are different characteristics of students that, these students had sense of responsibility, compassionate with their work and they are truthfulness to commitments. To determine the association, Perfectionistic Tendencies Scale (PTS), Multidimensional Perceived Social Support (MDSPSS) and Self-harm Tendencies Scales (SHTS) were used respectively. Statistical results of this research were analysed by using SPSS. Results. The findings highlighted that there was a significant positive association between perfectionism and self-harm tendencies (r=.171, p=.05) in students. Respectively, mediation analysis showed that perceived social support is significantly mediated between perfectionism and self-harm tendencies in students ( β = .21, SE = .08, p< .001) Conclusion: Perceived social support act as significant shield for perfectionists to prevent from self-harm and mental health issues.
目的:探讨感知社会支持在医护生完美主义与自我伤害之间的中介作用。方法:采用问卷调查的横断面研究设计在巴基斯坦(拉合尔)的政府和私立医科大学进行。采用多阶段抽样技术选择了250名参与者,其中分为两个阶层,MBBS(145)和护理学生(105)。参加者来自私营及政府机构,年龄介乎十八至二十五岁。这些学生有不同的特点,他们有责任感,对工作有同情心,他们信守承诺。分别采用完美主义倾向量表(PTS)、多维感知社会支持量表(MDSPSS)和自我伤害倾向量表(SHTS)来确定两者之间的关联。本研究的统计结果采用SPSS进行分析。结果。研究结果强调,完美主义和自我伤害倾向之间存在显著的正相关(r=)。171, p= 0.05)。结果表明,社会支持知觉在完美主义与自我伤害倾向之间具有显著中介作用(β = 0.21, SE = 0.08, p< .001)。结论:社会支持知觉是完美主义者预防自我伤害和心理健康问题的重要屏障。

Objective: To assess the effect of chewing in addition to pharmacological management of post-tonsillectomy pain and return to the normal diet. Methodology: To determine the impact of chewing gum on post-operative pain, a 12-month comparative cross-sectional study was carried out on 87 post-tonsillectomy patients at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad. Two groups of patients having elective tonsillectomy were created: Group A (chewing gum) and Group B. (routine care). Following surgery, patients were monitored to assess postoperative pain using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from day 1 to day 7 and resume their regular diet. Results: Out of 87 patients, 49 (56.3%) belonged to group A, and 38 (43.7%) belonged to group B. Mean age of the participants was 23.8±5.2 years. The total number of male and female participants was 56 (64.4%) and 31 (35.6%) respectively. There was significantly lesser pain experienced by patients in group A as compared to group B from day 2 through day 5 (p<0.001), whereas there were no statistically significant differences observed between the two groups on the 1st,6th and 7th post-operative days in terms of post-op pain (p=0.589, 0.516, 0.376). In terms of resuming a normal diet, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. (p= 0.456). Conclusion: Postoperative use of chewing exercises significantly decreases pain in the immediate post-ton-sillectomy period and is recommended for use as a non-pharmacological adjunct for post-tonsillectomy pain management.
