Umme Habiba is a researcher affiliated with Riphah International University, Pakistan, whose scholarly work addresses patient-centred healthcare, nursing service quality, and patient behaviour. Her research explores how healthcare experiences influence patients’ decisions to revisit medical facilities. Her publication, The Impact of Patient-Centred Care on Patients’ Revisit Intention with the Moderating Role of Quality Nursing Care, published in 2025, examines the relationship between patient-centred practices and revisit intention in the Pakistani healthcare context. This research provides a foundation for considering her profile under the Young Researcher Award of the Global Innovation Technologist Awards. [1]
Abstract
Umme Habiba’s research investigates the influence of patient-centred care on patients’ intention to revisit healthcare facilities, considering the potential moderating contribution of quality nursing care. The published study employed a cross-sectional quantitative approach involving 378 participants across Pakistan. The findings identified a significant positive association between patient-centred care and revisit intention (β = 0.662, p less than 0.001). However, the proposed moderating interaction between patient-centred care and nursing care quality was statistically insignificant. The research highlights the importance of understanding patient experiences and improving healthcare service delivery. [1]

Introduction
Patient-centred care is an important dimension of contemporary healthcare, emphasising individual preferences, communication, respect, and participation in treatment decisions. Understanding the relationship between healthcare experiences and patients’ willingness to return is relevant to institutional performance and service improvement. Habiba’s research addresses this relationship through an investigation of patient-centred care and nursing quality in Pakistan. [1]
Research Profile
The research profile demonstrates an academic interest in healthcare-related social science and the organisational dimensions of patient experience. Her published work connects healthcare service delivery with behavioural outcomes, particularly the intention to revisit healthcare institutions. The publication identifies her as an MS Scholar associated with the Faculty of Management Sciences at Riphah International University, Islamabad, Pakistan. [1]
Research Contributions
The study contributes empirical evidence concerning the relationship between patient-centred care and revisit intention. Its quantitative methodology involved validated measurement instruments and regression analysis. The research offers several relevant contributions:
- Examines patient-centred care as a factor associated with healthcare revisit intention.
- Investigates the proposed moderating role of nursing care quality.
- Provides evidence from a Pakistani healthcare research setting.
- Identifies opportunities for further research into patient experience and healthcare service improvement.
