About

Sidra Abbas is a nursing researcher whose work critically examines the construction of professional identity within the complex sociocultural landscape of Pakistan. Her key research area lies at the intersection of nursing, gender, and societal perception, focusing on how nurses navigate the tensions between self-perception, public stereotypes, and professional expectations. Her most cited study, a 2024 qualitative exploration of nursing identity construction, draws on interviews with nurses, patients, and the public to reveal how deeply ingrained societal devaluation shapes the profession. This work, already garnering early citations, offers a rare, multi-perspective view of the stigma and resilience that define nursing in a context where it is often undervalued. By foregrounding the voices of nurses themselves, Abbas provides actionable insights for policy and education aimed at strengthening professional identity. Her research is a vital contribution to global nursing discourse, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive approaches to workforce empowerment. For students and researchers, her work is a compelling case study in using qualitative methods to unpack the lived realities of a marginalized yet essential profession.
