Amid the strain related to the necessity of distance learning and related organizational adjustments in higher education institutions (HEIs), this paper re-examines the problem-focused coping strategy and its efficiency in addressing work-related strain. A case for the centrality of a problem-focused coping strategy in maintaining sustainability and resilience of HEIs is made. To this end, the spotlight is directed at workplace bullying in HEIs, which—due to its implications for absenteeism, turnover, and productivity—represents one of the most challenging issues in talent management in HEIs. What is termed here “hidden cost of workplace bullying” constitutes a direct challenge for HEIs sustainability and resilience. The discussion and the findings elaborated in this paper are based on a survey (n = 400) conducted across HEIs in Pakistan. It is argued that the findings are generalizable, which makes this paper an important addition to the literature on sustainability and resilience in HEIs.

Objective: To explore the association of nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors as predictors of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and to study if nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors predict CHD? Methodology: It was a case-control study and a sample of (N = 400), patients with chronic heart disease with mean age of 45.67 years, were 200 (men = 126, women = 74) and (controls = 200, men = 112, women = 88) matched with, gender, age, and monthly income, recruited from public sector hospitals by using a purposive sampling technique. A self-structured comprehensive demographic, social, nutritional, and lifestyle factors was prepared for collecting the data. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression analysis, and chi-square were run for data analyses. Results: Results indicated a significant positive association of CHD with type of food (p<0.001), sodium (p<0.001), Deserts (halwajat, kheer, cakes, biscuits) (p<0.001), desi ghee (p<0.001), etc. was found. Physical activity (p<0.001), overweight (p<0.001), smoking (p<0.001), self-reported high blood pressure (p<0.001), sodium intake (B= 0.52, p<0.001), bakery items (B= 0.26, p<0.001), saturated fats (B= 0.57, p<0.001), processed meat (B= 0.56, p<0.001), appeared as positive predictors of CHD and whole grains (B= -0.23, p<0.001), fish (B= -0.44), vegetables (B= -0.56, p<0.001), food supplements (B= -0.37, p<0.001) emerged as negative nutritional predictors of CHD. Overweight (B= 0.63, p<0.001), long working hours (B= 0.47, p<0.001), sitting position (B= 0.38, p<0.001), stress (B= 0.67, p<.001), and anxiety (B= 0.72, p<0.001), appeared as positive lifestyle and psychological factors of CHD. Conclusion: Nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors contribute significantly in the development of CHD in patients with chronic heart disease.
