Abstract
The history of the drama industry traces back to rich literature, notably beginning in 1964 when PTV emerged as the pioneering channel for broadcasts and transmissions. A recent study delved into the influence of Pakistani dramas on the mental health, psychological well-being and QOL(quality of life) in female university students. Using a cross-sectional research design with quantitative methods, the study recruited a sample of 300 participants through a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected by the application of a self-developed demographic sheet and standardized scales: the Young Mental Health Scale, Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Jhon Flanagan's Quality of Life Scale. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis, revealing a significantly positive correlation (r = .354, p < .000) among the studied variables. In conclusion, the study explored how Pakistani dramas impact mental health, well-being, and quality of life. Educators and mental health professionals can use these findings to better support students in managing developmental challenges and promoting overall well-being. Recommendations include integrating media literacy education into university curricula to empower students to critically engage with media content. Moreover, mental health programs should incorporate strategies to mitigate any potential negative effects of media consumption on students' well-being.
