In Malaysia, where the average age of menopause is 50.7 years and women make up 55.6% of the workforce, many face challenges in balancing symptoms with work and family responsibilities.

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).

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

Editor:
Year: 00/03/2025
Abstract: To further enhance research in the fields of population, family, and reproductive health, the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) took a proactive step by establishing the LPPKN Research Grant (GP LPPKN) in 2021. 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.

Analisis persepsi, pengetahuan dan perilaku (3P) remaja Malaysia mengenai kesihatan reproduktif dan seksual di media sosial menggunakan pendekatan data raya
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: Discussion on reproductive and sexual health among Malaysians, particularly adolescents, is still considered taboo. However, knowledge in this area is crucial to avoid misunderstandings and promote moral values. Social media, with its collaborative and interactive nature, has become the main platform for discussions on these topics. This study found that there are many keywords related to reproductive and sexual health on social media. However, the lack of a specific lexicon for the local context makes it difficult to understand the discussions and sentiments shared.
To better understand this issue, a sentiment lexicon has been developed, supported by the LPPKN Analytics initiative (https://lppknanalitik.com/). This platform uses sentiment analysis technology, machine learning, and interactive dashboards to analyze social media data. Tweets and comments on social media that contain key keywords are processed, cleaned, and categorized into three main aspects: Perception, Knowledge, and Behavior. This approach provides deeper insights into how adolescents communicate about reproductive and sexual health, effectively utilizing the potential of social media data.

Penyakit jangkitan seksual (Std)
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: Reproductive and sexual health (SRH) is a key element in women's well-being and profoundly affects their quality of life. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among married women aged 15 to 49 years in Malaysia. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. A total of 2,081 respondents were involved, and data was collected through face-to-face interviews as well as self-administered, anonymous online questionnaires.
The results of the study indicate that women in Malaysia have a moderately high level of knowledge about STDs. Women from the Northern region, aged between 30 and 34 years, with 1-2 children, employed, educated, and with a B40 income category, showed significant knowledge about STDs (51.9%). Additionally, the majority of respondents (more than 90%) correctly understood that having multiple sexual partners increases the risk of exposure to STDs. The study also found that around 75 to 86% of respondents agreed that one should keep their STD status confidential.
These findings highlight that cultural norms and societal attitudes play an important role in shaping perceptions about STDs, which may influence behaviors and awareness of their prevention.
