Background: Inadequate child feeding practices lead to malnutrition, higher under-five mortality rates and adverse effects on quality of life. This study aimed to assess the breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices of mothers as well as the influence of various sociodemographic factors on them in local families of Lahore. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study. It was conducted in CMH (Combined Military Hospital), Lahore in 2018. It comprises a sample of 203 mothers with children of at least two years of age, from various urban areas of Lahore. The subjects were selected on the basis of the inclusion criteria. Mothers with psychiatric illnesses and children with congenital anomalies were excluded from the study. Mothers were approached in the paediatric outpatient departments of four tertiary care hospitals of Lahore. Responses were recorded using a modified version of the Action Contre La Faim (ACF) questionnaire. Independent sample t-test and chi-square test were applied for analysis of the data. Results: Early initiation of breastfeeding within one hour from birth was observed in 83.3% children. Most children were administered colostrum (69.5%). The rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months was 45.3%. A child was being breastfed 8.21 ± 6.67 (mean ± SD) times a day. Maternal educational status, total number of adults in a household, and access to free healthcare were identified as important factors influencing the practice of breastfeeding. Porridge, khichdi, eggs, fruit and yoghurt were the most frequently used complementary foods. Conclusions: A high rate of an early start of breastfeeding and a low rate of exclusive breastfeeding for at least six months were predominant in our population. Administration of colostrum was observed in approximately two-thirds of the study participants. Education of the mother, type of the family system (nuclear or combined), and access to free healthcare strongly influence the breastfeeding practices.
An Empirical Study on Entreprenurial Orientation and SMEs Percieved Performance: Moderating Role of Transformational Leadership, Environmental Factors and Access to Financial Capital The present study examined the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) of Pakistan. Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) was evaluated on three dimensions, i.e. innovativeness, risk attitude and pro-activeness. Firm performance was measured through two dimensions, i.e. growth and profitability. The moderating effects of transformational leadership, access to financial capital and environmental factors were checked on the relationship between EO and firm performance. The population of the current study consists of all SMEs operated in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa. The sampling framework of the current study consists of Peshawar division, which includesthree districts of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa including Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshera. The study used multistage cluster sampling technique; first, the study selected Peshawar division (Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshera) on simple random sampling technique. Secondly, through proportionate stratified random sampling technique, the study selected 254 organizations. Respondents of the study include top level managers of the selected organizations. The respondents’ responses were gathered through a structured questionnaire having a five pointLikert scale. The study found that EO is positively and significantly related to firm performance. Besides, the study also found that each dimension of EO namely innovativeness, risk attitude and pro-activeness were significantly related to firm performance and its dimensions growth and profitability. Moreover, the study also found that transformational leadership moderates the relationship between EO and firm performance. Similarly, the study also found that access to financial capital moderates the significant relationship between EO and firm performance, but environmental factor does not moderate the relationship between EO and firm performance. The study finally concluded that EO had significant impact on firm performance. Based on the findings, it is recommended that SMEs should enhance entrepreneurial orientation in their respective organizations in order to improve their performance. Furthermore, the study also recommended that SMEs may improve their performance through accessibility to financial capital and the leader leadership style, i.e. transformational leadership style as it impacts organizational performance.Limitations, practical implications, recommendations and directions for future research are also highlighted.
