The Impact of Skincare Routine on Self-Esteem Among Individuals With Acne
No full textAcne is more than just a dermatological condition; it is an experience that can deeply affect one’s psychological wellbeing, particularly self-esteem. This research investigates the impact of skincare routine on self-esteem among individuals with acne. It tests whether individuals who have acne and a skincare routine have a higher self-esteem as an outcome, compared to those who have acne and do not have a skincare routine. The study also explores factors other than skincare routine and acne, that contribute to higher, or lower self-esteem within individuals. It examines whether family dynamics, other environmental factors, such as adverse social experiences, and cultural factors, have an effect on individuals’ self-esteem, as well as their perceptions of acne and themselves.
While acne is often dismissed as a temporary or superficial concern, for many it becomes a persistent source of emotional distress, influencing how they see themselves and how they believe others perceive them. This study follows a mixed methods approach, employing a quantitative online survey and a qualitative semi-structured interview. Participants recruited through purposive sampling, with elements of convenience sampling, included individuals with acne, aged 18-25 years, who were born and living in Pakistan. The quantitative findings reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between skincare routine and self-esteem, among individuals with acne. Contrastingly, the qualitative findings report that skincare routine leads to an improvement in self-esteem in individuals with acne. The research also concludes that a consistent skincare routine contributes to a higher and improved self-esteem among individuals with acne. Lastly, the study emphasises the importance of early psychoeducation to reduce stigma surrounding acne, foster self-acceptance, and encourage timely help-seeking
Tides of exclusion: marginalization of fishing communities in Mubarak Village and Abdur Rehman Goth, Karachi
No full textThis study explores the multi-dimensional marginalization experienced by the fishing communities in Karachi, particularly through examining two fishing villages on the coast of Karachi, namely Mubarak Village and Abdur Rehman Goth. I have been in contact with both the villages since my adolescence due to my passion for fishing and have observed these communities closely. Abdur Rehman Goth is a popular point for fishing while Mubarak Village is revered for its recreational purposes. Drawing from interviews focused on the lived experiences of community members from both the villages, this study aims to show the systemic exclusion they experience through political disengagement and neglect, lack of governance, socio-economic depravation, environmental exploitation, urban expansion, and NGO engagement. Using the frameworks of political ecology and political marginalization, this research explores how state policies which prioritize elite interests lead to environmental exploitation and increase the socio-economic vulnerability of these communities. This study also explores the issues which are experienced by the community and their declining living standards which are showed through the findings of the interviews. Through these insights, this study contributes to broader studies of socioeconomic inequalities of certain communities, and environmental governance in Pakistan
