    (UMT Lahore, 2019) Naila Hameed
    The present research was aimed to examine the relationship among minority stress, resilience and quality of life in transgender people. The sample was consisted of N=200 taken from Lahore city and age range of the participant was 20-40 years. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Minority Stress LGBT Measure (Pearl, 2016), State-Trait Resilience Inventory (Hiew, 2000) and Quality of life (Flanagan, 1982) were used as assessment measures. The results of Pearson product correlation showed that there was negative significant relationship among minority stress subscales everyday discrimination, discrimination events, internalized stigma and community connectedness and quality of life while positive significant correlation was found between resilience and quality of life. There was not found any significant relationship between minority stress and resilience. There was significant negative relationship found between minority stress and government support. Results also revealed that there was negative significant correlation between resilience and age, leaving home duration, family contact and government support. The result of moderation analysis revealed minority stress as significant negative predictor while resilience as significant positive predictor for quality of life. Interaction effect (minority stress x resilience) also found significant predictor of quality of life. No significant impact of covariates found in moderation analysis for quality of life. The results of moderation also revealed conditional effect of resilience that explain non-significant relationship between minority stress and quality of life. The results of independent measure ANOVA revealed significant mean differences in term of minority stress subscales for occupation (identity concealment, internalized stigma, community connectedness) of minority stress with large effect size , while significant mean difference found in subscales (everyday discrimination, rejection anticipation, victimization events) of minority stress with medium effect size. Results also revealed significant mean differences in term of resilience and quality of life for occupation with medium effect size. Study concluded that increase minority stress badly influences the quality of life of transgender people on the other hand resilience buffer this effect of minority stress on quality of life.The findings would help counselors to develop strategies that may help their transgender client to avoid risk situations related to involvement in minority stress.

    Psychological Health Problems among Women in Pakistan
    (University of Management and Technology, 2014) Naila Hameed
    The aim of present study was to examine the psychological health problems (depression, anxiety, distress & somatization) among women. Psychological health problems in working married women were hypothesized as a consequence of dual responsibility they pay at home and workplace. Further, these mental health problems were assumed to be inter correlated. Sample comprised of 106 married & unmarried women from working & non working statues. Participants were equally distributed across their marital and work status. Simple random sampling strategy was used to select the sample for this study. The entire sample was taken from general population. Translated version of Four Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire developed by Terluin (1996) was used to assess psychological health problems. Obtained data was statistically analyzed by MANOVA, Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Regression Analyses were applied. MANOVA showed significant difference in reported somatic complaints by women. Significant results were observed on somatic complaints among women (F=7.53, p=.00) as compared to their counterparts. Married-working women reported more somatic complaints (M=14.50, SD=13.27) as compared to unmarried-nonworking (M=6.50, SD=6.78). Significant differences were also observed between working and non-working women (t=2.18, p=.03), working women reported more depression (M=3.08, SD=4.19) than non working women (M=1.56, SD=2.87). Paying dual responsibility at home and workplace is quit hectic causing psychological problems among married working women. Results of the study indicated that women do experience psychological health problems when they have duel status as compared to when they have single responsibility or no responsibility and somatic complaints were more significant among these psychological health problems among women in Pakistan. On the basis of present results, it is concluded that married women in this study is relatively showed more psychological health problems than to unmarried women. Employment does have effect on their psychological health. Further, dual responsibility and few other factors such as less cooperation from spouse and criticism from in-laws may play a role in development of these problems. So, these factors also needed to be taken care in this context. Support from spouse, parents and relatives may possibly contribute in reducing these problems.
