Divided into three thematic areas--contextuality of healthcare choices, power dynamics and the health of the marginalized, and emerging challenges and healthcare response--the book explores the complex interplay of social, cultural, and institutional influences on health-seeking behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the nuanced fabric of healthcare decision-making in Pakistan through a series of nine meticulously crafted chapters. From the influence of geography and social context on health-related choices to the power dynamics inherent in patient-doctor interactions, each chapter offers valuable insights into the myriad factors shaping individuals' healthcare decisions. Moreover, the book sheds light on overlooked aspects of healthcare decision-making, including the experiences of marginalized communities such as the transgender population and individuals seeking mental healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on diverse theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence, this book challenges simplistic notions of healthcare decision-making as solely individual and rational. Instead, it argues for a comprehensive understanding of how communal, social, and institutional factors intersect to shape health-seeking behaviors. By illuminating the contextual complexities inherent in healthcare decision-making, this book offers invaluable insights for researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the wider public interested in understanding and improving healthcare outcomes in Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saman Nazir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666962716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666962710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Saman Nazir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110885609727,"sku":"9781666962710","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97f98220-b146-4d8e-9070-5442170f1790.jpg?v=1725470052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contextuality-of-healthcare-choices-in-saman-nazir-9781666962710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
