Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 1 in 100 children globally, with profound impacts across the lifespan. However. Within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, particularly Malaysia, systematic research on autism remains notably scarce and fragmented. This scoping review reveals critical gaps in autism research and services across ASEAN and Malaysia despite growing awareness. Prioritizing autism as a public health imperative requires commitment from researchers, policymakers, healthcare providers, educators, and communities. By committing resources to research, policy development, and service delivery, ASEAN countries can substantially improve outcomes for individuals with autism and their families.

Loneliness, self-compassion, and psychological well-being among adults in Sarawak: self-compassion as the mediator
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: High levels of loneliness have emerged as a common experience worldwide, adversely affecting both physical and mental health. Psychological well-being is the realization of one’s potential through positive functioning. Self-compassion means being kind, mindful, and understanding toward oneself, which may buffer the negative effects of loneliness. However, studies in Malaysia remain limited, particularly regarding the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between loneliness and psychological well-being. Self- compassion plays a crucial role in enhancing psychosocial health among Malaysians. Integrating self-compassion-based interventions into culturally relevant mental health programs may strengthen emotional resilience and improve overall psychological well-being in the community.
