    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Maryam Ghaffar; CIIT/FA23-RCP-009/LHR; Dr. MaryamAmjad; Compassion fatigue, emotional regulation
    Workload and static circumstances may frustrate those professionals who are serving them diligently and many other circumstances may make them vulnerable to disturbed emotional state. The current study aimed to evaluate the association between compassion fatigue, difficulties in emotional regulation and frustration discomfort. Therefore, a sample of 200 therapists (125 Women) were recruited through convenient sampling strategy. Compassion Fatigue‐Short Scale (CF‐Short Scale; Figley, 1995), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-16; Gratz & Roemer, 2004) and Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS; Harington, 2005) were administered to assess the level of study variables. The findings of the study revealed that there is significant positive association between all the study variables (p < .05). In the mediation analysis, difficulties in emotional regulation was considered as mediating variable between compassion fatigue and frustration discomfort (χ²>.05, 95% CI). This study implicates the need of providing balanced workload and a burnout leave for these therapists after a fixed time interval. This step would improve their performance level significantly while enhancing their compassion and regulating their emotions in a positive manner.

    Poor Sleep Quality, Overthinking and Mental Well-Being in Young Adults
    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Maryam Ghaffar; FA19-BPY-023; Dr. Shameem Fatima; LHR TP 8378
    The current study aimed to evaluate the association between poor sleep quality, overthinking, and mental well-being. It was hypothesized that there would be an association between poor sleep quality, overthinking, and mental well-being in young adults. Moreover, overthinking would mediate the association between poor sleep quality and mental well-being in young adults. A sample of 488 young adults, including men (n = 244) and women (n = 244) ranging in age from 19 to 25 years (M = 20.38, and SD = 1.76) was taken from different private and government sector universities. Convenience sampling strategy was used to approach participants and data collection. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse et al., 1989), Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (Tennant et al., 2007), and Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (Warwick & Edinburgh, 2008) were employed to assess the levels of sleep quality, overthinking, and mental well-being. Pearson product-moment correlation and mediation analysis through AMOS were used to test hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that poor sleep quality is correlated with overthinking and mental well-being in young adults. Overthinking was found to have a positive association with poor sleep quality and a negative association with mental well-being. Furthermore, overthinking was mediating the relation between poor sleep quality and mental well-being. The present study has implications in social, counseling, and educational psychology. Limitations, implications, and future directions of the current study were also discussed.
