Unjuran kadar kesuburan penduduk di Malaysia dengan menggunakan pemodelan kebarangkalian Bayesian
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Bayesian Probabilistic Modelling provides a more accurate, flexible and probability-based method of fertility rate projection. This method is not limited to a single projected value, but produces probability distributions and confidence intervals (80%/95%) for various future scenarios. This approach is widely used by the United Nations (UN DESA) for global and national population projections. It allows policymakers to assess risks, uncertainties and policy impacts more comprehensively than deterministic methods. As a national agency that advises the Government in the field of demography and population, LPPKN is recommended to adopt the Bayesian method to improve the accuracy and reliability of the country's fertility rate projections and support long-term planning related to population and family

Apabila bilangan yang diinginkan berkurang: perubahan keinginan kesuburan dalam kalangan wanita Malaysia, 2004-2014
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: The desire to have more children in Malaysia has declined as many people choose to have smaller families. Employment status is not a strong predictor. Education level was not a factor in 2004 in determining the desire for children, but in 2014, education influenced the desire. It is expected that the desire to have children will continue to decline in line with the reported decline in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR). Malaysia needs to plan measures and policies to prevent the negative effects of low fertility rates in the future. Malaysia needs an advocacy strategy that emphasizes the importance of having more children across age and ethnicity; government policies that directly and indirectly impact the desire to have one or more children (e.g. financial incentives, subfertility treatment, family-friendly workplaces, and a reformed early childhood education system)

Penilaian ke atas Program Pendidikan Kesihatan Reproduktif dan Sosial (PEKERTI) di Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) dengan menggunakan model penilaian Kirkpatrick
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: The PEKERTI program was introduced by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) through the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) starting in 2009. Its main purpose is to produce individuals who are knowledgeable and have positive attitudes in reproductive and social health aspects. The National Reproductive and Social Health Education Policy and Action Plan (PEKERTI) 2022-2025 has improved the PEKERTI program until introducing the National PEKERTI program in 2025. The objective of the study is to measure the effectiveness of the program using the 4-stage Kirkpatrick Model. In conclusion, the program is effective in increasing knowledge, confidence, and commitment, but the effect is still moderate. Future focus is to increase involvement, satisfaction and interactive activities for better learning effects. Follow-up interventions after the program can close the gap between knowledge and practice (confidence & commitment).

Maternal mental well-being: challenges and implications for the family institution
Item Type: Article
Editor:
Year: 00/06/2025
Abstract: Maternal mental well-being is a key determinant of overall family well-being. However, various modern challenges negatively impact mothers’ well-being and increase the risk of parental burnout. This study aims to examine the roles and involvement of mothers in family institutions, their perceptions of motherhood, the key challenges they face, and the current status of their mental health status. The study involved 3,988 Malaysian mothers aged 18 and above with children. Data were collected through an online survey in May 2024 using a convenience sampling method and analysed descriptively using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Findings indicate that mothers play a dominant role in doing housework (48.0%), managing children’s education (41.0%), ensuring daily needs are met (36.6%) and maintaining family health (34.8%). In terms of perception, most Malaysian mothers believe that being a mother today is more challenging than in the past. The primary challenges faced by mothers include the rising cost of living (80.0%), work-family imbalance (66.8%) and financial stress (58.9%). The study found that 32.2% of respondents reported experiencing depression due to these challenges, with 10.3% frequently feeling depressed. Additionally, only 16.6% of mothers felt that society truly understands the struggles they face. This study highlights the need for integrated interventions such as family-friendly policies, flexible work arrangements, and stronger social support to help mothers manage their mental well-being. These measures can alleviate maternal stress, contributing to family stability and overall societal well-being.
