Publication Date : 2020-12-12

Keywords : community, psychology, youth, social sustainability, Malaysia

Abstract : This study examines the correlation of neighbourhood assets, personality, and resistance to peer influence among urban poor youth living in the disadvantaged community of Kuala Lumpur. A total of 448 participants living in low-income apartments in Kuala Lumpur, aged between 13 and 24 years old were requested to complete a set of standardised questionnaires to measure neighbourhood assets (Neighbourhood Developmental Assets Questionnaire), personality (Big Five Inventory short version), and resistance to peer influence (Resistance to Peer Influence). The correlation analysis showed that three dimensions of neighbourhood assets and three types of personality were significantly correlated to resistance to peer influence while other dimensions were not significant. These findings are explained in terms of social and psychological context concerning positive youth development to promote social sustainability.

Volume : vol 4

Publication Date : 2020-12-12

Keywords : Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P), Psychological Skills Training (PST), kekuatan mental, efikasi kendiri, aktiviti fizikal

Abstract : Kajian ini bertujuan menguji kesan latihan Mindfulness Acceptance Commitment-Physical (MAC-P) untuk meningkatkan kekuatan mental dan efikasi kendiri semasa melakukan aktiviti fizikal. MAC-P digandingkan bersama Psychological Skills Training (PST) dalam kajian ini sebagai latihan mental untuk aktiviti berbentuk aerobik dan anaerobik. Kajian ini telah menggunakan reka bentuk kuasi-eksperimen. Subjek terdiri daripada pelajar semester satu Sains Kejurulatihan, yang diagihkan kepada kumpulan MAC-P (n=21), PST (n=21) dan kawalan (n=21). Instrumen kajian terdiri daripada ujian Bleep dan Wingate, Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ), dan skala efikasi kendiri yang diadaptasi dari Bandura (2006). Analisis Covariance (ANCOVA) menunjukkan kesan intervensi yang signifikan ke atas kekuatan mental [F(2,59)=4.93, p<0.05], dan efikasi kendiri [F(2,59)=38.39, p<0.05]. Semasa pasca ujian, kumpulan MAC-P menunjukkan skor yang tinggi bagi efikasi kendiri (87.12±1.71), manakala kumpulan PST (25.68±0.853) memperoleh skor kekuatan mental tertinggi berbanding kumpulan MAC-P (23.50±.846) dan kawalan (21.91±.0.842). Kesimpulannya, MAC-P dan PST mempunyai kesan signifikan terhadap peningkatan prestasi kekuatan mental dan efikasi kendiri dalam aktiviti aerobik dan anaerobik. Ini menunjukkan bahawa MAC-P boleh menjadi alternatif ke arah peningkatan prestasi fizikal selain daripada PST. Oleh yang demikian, hasil kajian ini boleh dijadikan sebagai garis panduan kepada jurulatih dan individu untuk memperbaiki prestasi aktiviti fizikal, khususnya aktiviti yang berbentuk aerobik dan anaerobik

Publication Date : 2020-12-12

Keywords : beban penjagaan, ketegangan personal, ketegangan peranan, kawalan diri, penjaga utama, pesakit kanser di hujung nyawa

Abstract : Kemajuan dalam bidang perubatan telah menyebabkan berlakunya peralihan peranan di dalam aktiviti penjagaan pesakit kronik terutamanya pesakit yang berada pada fasa terminal ini. Peralihan penjagaan dari hospital ke rumah memerlukan penjaga utama yang terdiri daripada ahli keluarga untuk melakukan pelbagai usaha dalam berhadapan dengan pelbagai cabaran dan isu yang melibatkan penjagaan saat akhir selain daripada perlu menerima hakikat akan pemergian ahli keluarga mereka. Tanpa pengetahuan dan persediaan yang rapi, penjaga utama cenderung untuk merasa terbeban dengan peranan baru yang perlu mereka galas dan sekaligus memberikan kesan secara tidak langsung kepada kehidupan penjaga terutamanya ke atas beberapa dimensi dalam kualiti hidup mereka. Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti pengaruh beban penjagaan terhadap dimensi kualiti hidup dan melihat peranan kawalan diri yang berperanan sebagai mediator terhadap beban penjagaan dan dimensi kualiti hidup dalam kalangan penjaga utama pesakit kanser dalam fasa terminal. Kajian ini merupakan kajian keratan rentas yang melibatkan 97 orang penjaga utama pesakit kanser fasa terminal dengan menggunakan persampelan bertujuan. Soal selidik The Adult Carer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (AC-QoL), Zarit Burden Interview (J-ZBI-8) dan Pearlin’s Sense of Mastery telah digunakan di dalam kajian ini. Berdasarkan analisis data menggunakan Smart-PLS 3.2.8, analisis secara langsung menunjukkan bahawa subskala di dalam beban penjagaan iaitu ketegangan peranan mempunyai pengaruh negatif yang signifikan terhadap kualiti hidup dalam aspek sokongan kepada penjaga, kawalan dalam tekanan menjaga, perkembangan diri dan keupayaan untuk menjaga. Manakala subskala di dalam beban penjagaan iaitu ketegangan personal mempunyai pengaruh negatif yang signifikan terhadap kualiti hidup dalam aspek tekanan menjaga. Seterusnya analisis hubungan tidak langsung pula menunjukkan bahawa kawalan diri didapati tidak berperanan sebagai pengantara dalam hubungan antara beban, tekanan penjagaan dan kualiti hidup penjaga utama. Kajian ini telah memberi implikasi kepada penjagaan dalam kalangan keluarga yang mengalami beban penjagaan terutamanya dalam aspek ketegangan peranan dan personal mereka sehingga menjejaskan beberapa dimensi kualiti hidup mereka. Dalam usaha untuk meningkatkan dimensi di dalam kualiti hidup penjaga utama pesakit kanser di hujung nyawa ini, pekerja sosial merupakan profesion menolong yang akan perlu melakukan beberapa pendekatan, kaedah dan teknik di dalam praktis kerja sosial untuk meningkatkan ketidakfungsian sosial yang berlaku kepada penjaga.

Social Media Disorder and Self-Compassion among University Students in Malaysia

Nelly Nurhidayah Binti Mohamad and NurFarhana Ardillah Aftar

Volume : vol 4

Publication Date : 2020-12-12

Keywords : Social Media Disorder (SMD), self-compassion, Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Social Media Disorder (SMD) Scale

Abstract : The younger generation in Malaysia is now more exposed to technology and use of the internet, especially social media such as Facebook and Instagram. However, excessive use of social media may lead to an unhealthy pattern of frequent use that can result in an addiction. This can then lead to disregard for self-love, self-appreciation, or self-care. Self- compassion includes the ability to notice the experience of suffering, the ability to empathize or “suffer with” the individual’s self, and the ability to offer kindness and understanding to oneself. Previous studies have shown that high levels of self-compassion in individuals can be beneficial as a way of coping or buffering negative and harmful threats received through social media. However, there is insufficient study regarding whether excessive and unhealthy use of social media can result in a decreased level of self-compassion in an individual. This research aimed to identify the presence of Social Media Disorder and the levels of self-compassion among youths, specifically university students in Malaysia. Further, this study also attempted to identify any significant correlation between Social Media Disorder (SMD) and the level of self-compassion. A total of 142 Malaysian university students consisting of 72 female students and 70 male students within the age range of 18 to 26 years old participated in this study. They completed the Social Media Disorder (SMD) Scale and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Results show that only 18% of the participants obtained results indicating the presence of a Social Media Disorder. As for the level of self-compassion, 78% were found to have moderate levels of Self-Compassion. A significant but weak positive correlation was identified between Social Media Disorder and Self-Compassion. Despite concerns regarding the use of social media, the findings of this study suggest that social media use among university students may not necessarily be at a level that it is concerning. However, the presence of correlation between the two variables, suggests that further exploration in this area may be needed.

Keywords : depressive symptoms, gender, student

Abstract : The prevalence of depression among university students, especially final year students, is increasing. However, different gender shows a different degree of depressive symptoms. Hence, the researcher studied the significant differences in depressive symptoms among different gender of final year students in University Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Kota Kinabalu. Final year students from Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences (FMHS), Faculty of Food Science & Nutrition (FFSN), Faculty of Business, Economics & Accountancy (FBEA), and Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities (FSSH) completed the survey measuring depressive symptoms (Center or Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D)) through online. This study using cluster random sampling, and 150 students who had participated (53.3% female and 46.7% male). The mean age of the participants was 23.15 years. The descriptive result showed final year students have a high level of depressive symptoms, which a mean is 36.97 (SD = 12.41). The independent-samples t-test result showed a significant difference between males and females in depressive symptoms (p < .05). These findings are supported by several previous studies and discuss important aspects related to gender roles, especially among university students. The potential explanations for this finding include the physiological factor, personality, and environment factor. The implication of the research’s findings has contributed knowledge to the field of depressive symptoms. Also, the Ministry of Education may give more attention to and help vulnerable students, especially female students. For future research, university students from other states or areas should be included to generalize the result. In conclusion, females are vulnerable to the social setting. Therefore, to decrease the incidence of depressive symptoms in females, the entire society, but not only the people around them, have the responsibility to help females to deal with distress mood.
