Publication Date : 2019-12-31

Keywords : strategi daya tindak, mangsa banjir, bencana banjir, Kelantan, Disember 2014

Abstract : Pada Disember 2014, telah berlaku bencana banjir di Kelantan yang dianggap sebagai banjir terbesar dan terburuk di negeri tersebut selepas peristiwa banjir pada 1967. Kesan daripada banjir besar yang berlaku, mangsa banjir bukan sahaja mengalami kemusnahan fizikal seperti kemusnahan harta benda secara total malah turut berdepan dengan isu psikologikal. Berdasarkan tinjauan kajian terdahulu mendapati, strategi daya tindak merupakan faktor daya tahan yang dapat melindungi mangsa banjir daripada berhadapan dengan masalah psikologikal yang lebih kritikal. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan adalah untuk meneroka strategi daya tindak yang digunakan oleh mangsa banjir yang kehilangan harta benda secara total kesan daripada banjir yang berlaku. Bagi menjalankan kajian ini, seramai 28 orang mangsa banjir yang mengalami kehilangan harta benda secara total telah dipilih dengan menggunakan kaedah persampelan secara bertujuan. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif di mana kajian kes dipilih sebagai reka bentuk kajian. Pemilihan informan adalah secara bertujuan dengan menggunakan kriteria inklusif. Dua sesi temu bual secara mendalam telah dijalankan secara berasingan sehingga data mencapai tahap ketepuan. Data yang diperoleh kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan kaedah tematik analisis. Hasil daripada kajian yang dijalankan mendapati, empat strategi daya tindak yang digunakan oleh informan iaitu strategi daya tindak berfokuskan masalah, daya tindak berfokuskan emosi, daya tindak berasaskan agama dan daya tindak maladaptif. Informan yang menggunakan strategi daya tindak yang berkesan seperti daya tindak berfokuskan masalah, berfokuskan emosi dan daya tindak berasaskan agama secara positif telah menunjukkan daya tahan yang tinggi dan seterusnya membantu mereka dalam mencapai kesejahteraan fizikal dan psikososial selepas banjir. Walau bagaimanapun, informan yang gagal menggunakan strategi daya tindak yang berkesan seperti daya tindak berasaskan agama secara negatif dan daya tindak maladaptif dilihat mempunyai daya tahan yang rendah seterusnya memerlukan program intervensi khusus yang dapat membantu mereka dalam mencapai kefungsian sosial selepas banjir.

A Perspective on Freud’s Theories in Relation to Self-harming Behaviour

Guan Teik Ee, Poh Li Lau

Volume : Vol 3

Publication Date : 2019-12-31

Keywords : self-harming behaviour, id, ego, superego, homoeostasis

Abstract : Self-harming is intentional self-destructive behaviour, although it is not necessarily suicidal. It is common not only in the West, but also in oriental countries like Malaysia. Many people question why adolescents harm themselves intentionally nowadays? What actually motivates them to do so? This conceptual paper explains the reasons behind such actions based on Freud’s theories. According to Freud, the constructs of id, ego and superego interact to form a person’s character. The id is our instinctual drive that ignores consequences when it acts, while the ego is our common sense faculty, responsible for working out proper plans that are acceptable to society. The superego is moralistic; its role is to prevent the id from prevailing when it thinks that it is wrong. In daily life, individuals strive to achieve homoeostasis whenever pain occurs through the distribution of these energies. As adolescence is a stage of overwhelming experience, in order to release the tension that arises, the id leads us into instinctual desire and problematic behaviour, such as self-harming. It is only through rigorous training that the ego can function well and overcome the driving force of the id to avoid any problematic behaviour. When the superego leads, adolescents will be seen as rigid and cannot tolerate any flaws in their life. In order to have a balanced and healthy personality, adolescents need to have a good blend of these three constructs. Thus, understanding what lies behind an action can enable us to have a deeper understanding of why adolescents engage in self-harming behaviour.

Volume : vol 2

Publication Date : 2018-12-22

Keywords : marital happiness, marriage, visually disabled persons

Abstract : This paper aims to explore the sources of marital happiness among married visually disabled persons. The driving force of this study is the lack of theoretical and scholarly insights regarding the happiness of visually disabled spouses especially in Malaysia.

Eight themes that best represent marital happiness of visually disabled person were constructed: responsibility, acceptance, self-efficacy, achievements, access to transportation, spirituality, sense of togetherness, and financial stability. Through this research, proper understanding of marital happiness among married visually disabled persons could be obtained hence, serving as the guideline of policy making to ensure well-being in such population. In this sense, the study of marital happiness among such population is also crucial to expand the plethora of knowledge in the field of positive psychology.
