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.

Low fertility, high stakes: demographic and economic implications of Malaysia’s fertility decline and the case for a National Fertility Insurance Policy
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Malaysia’s fertility rate has fallen to 1.6 births per woman (2024), below replacement level for more than a decade. This decline is driven by delayed marriage, economic pressures, and limited financial support for infertility care. Infertility affects 1 in 6 adults globally, yet treatment in Malaysia remains largely self-funded, leading to inequalities in access and increased emotional and economic burden. Understanding these barriers is critical to strengthen national demographic resilience. Conclusion, Malaysia’s fertility decline is a multidimensional issue requiring urgent clinical, policy, and economic intervention. The National Fertility Insurance (NFI) framework presents a strategic, sustainable, equitable policy mechanism to improve reproductive health access, sustain population growth, and strengthen socioeconomic resilience. Strategic investment in fertility care can safeguard Malaysia’s socioeconomic future.
