Item Type: Research Report
Editor:
Year: 00/03/2025
Abstract: The National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) established a new framework for family research in Malaysia by introducing the Family Well-Being Index (FWBI) in 2011 to measure the level of family well-being. To continue the effort of measuring and monitoring family well-being, LPPKN conducted the fourth series of the FWBI Study in 2022 and subsequently published the 2022 Family Well-Being Index Report (FWBI 2022).
Out of 8,460 households visited, a total of 5,236 respondents were successfully interviewed, consisting of 2,784 (53.2%) fathers and 2,452 (46.8%) mothers. The majority of respondents were aged between 40 and 49 years, Malay, still married, had secondary education, and resided in urban areas. More than two-thirds (68.9%) of respondents were from the B40 group with a household income of less than RM4,850.00. In terms of family structure, three-quarters (75.3%) of respondents belonged to nuclear households, where the father, mother, and children live together.
The FWBI 2022 showed that the level of family well-being was at a moderate level, with a score of 7.93 out of a maximum scale of 10.00. The 2022 FWBI score recorded an increase of 0.21 points or 2.7 percent compared to FWBI 2019. This improvement was contributed by five domains that scored above 8.00, namely:
(i) Family Relationship Domain (8.44);
(ii) Family, Religion, and Spiritual Practices Domain (8.37);
(iii) Family and Community Involvement Domain (8.24);
(iv) Family and Communication Technology Domain (8.18); and

GP LPPKN serves as a platform and catalyst for local researchers to conduct studies in these areas. All findings and inputs obtained through GP LPPKN have been compiled into the Compilation of LPPKN Research Grant Findings 2021–2023.
The publication of the Compilation of LPPKN Research Grant Findings 2021–2023 focuses on population, family, and reproductive health. The main objective of implementing GP LPPKN is to strengthen research in these three areas by producing new theories, holistic policy recommendations, innovative ideas, and creative outputs to enhance the well-being of families and society. A total of 28 researchers from local universities were awarded GP LPPKN grants, consisting of 9 in the field of population, 12 in family, and 7 in reproductive health.
Through GP LPPKN, researchers have successfully produced various outputs such as journal articles, policy briefs, modules, guidebooks, mobile applications, and intellectual property creations. The publication of this report, which compiles the research findings of GP LPPKN recipients, can be utilized and referenced not only by LPPKN but also by policymakers, program planners, module developers, researchers, and the general public in efforts to improve family and population well-being in Malaysia.

Keberkesanan modul intervensi sexting untuk mengurangkan niat dan kesediaan sexting bagi pelajar Institusi Pengajian Tinggi
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: Sexting refers to the exchange of sexually explicit content in the form of texts, photos, or videos. Sexting has become a public health issue in Malaysia, where online studies show that more than two-thirds of young people have engaged in sexting. Sexting is associated with risky sexual behavior, cyberbullying, mental health issues, and may lead to legal consequences. However, interventions to prevent sexting in Malaysia are still lacking. This study targets the intention and willingness to sext as these are key predictors of sexting behavior. The aim of this study is to develop and implement a Sexting Intervention Module (SIM) based on the Prototype Willingness Model (PWM) theory, using online animated videos, and to evaluate its effectiveness among students at a higher education institution in Melaka.
Study Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 300 students divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received five animated videos via a private YouTube link, while the control group was placed on a waiting list. Assessments were made before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention.
Study Results: The module successfully reduced the intention and willingness to sext significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group. Similarly, attitudes towards sexting, perceived norms about sexting, and positive perceptions towards individuals engaging in sexting were also significantly reduced. On the other hand, knowledge about sexting increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The SIM module, which uses PWM theory and animated videos, is effective and can be considered by relevant agencies to promote sexual and reproductive health among young people in Malaysia.

Methodology: This research includes four methodological stages: (i) needs assessment (psychological well-being, concerns, resilience, and family functioning); (ii) design and development of the module; (iii) trial/implementation of the module; and (iv) module evaluation.
Study Findings: The results of the research are expected to increase knowledge on the well-being and functioning of families, particularly marginalized groups (urban B40 households) that have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: LPPKN can utilize the results of this research to strengthen family and community development initiatives, particularly focusing on the psychological needs of urban B40 families, in line with the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK-12).
