Pembangunan dan kebolehlaksanaan program intervensi pasca-Covid untuk keluarga resilien di Malaysia
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: This study aims to develop a new, evidence-based family well-being intervention program in response to the challenges faced by families in Malaysia post-COVID-19. Marriage-related stress, particularly from external sources, can negatively affect relationship satisfaction and stability, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these pressures. Measures such as travel restrictions and social distancing have contributed to increased psychological stress, leading to deteriorating relationship quality due to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. The impact of the pandemic highlights weaknesses and resilience in family dynamics, underscoring the need for support systems to maintain relationship quality during crises. A collaborative approach in designing the new intervention program should involve not only health experts but also representatives from fields such as education, psychology, and technology. This will ensure a comprehensive and effective intervention to address the various challenges families face.

Prevalens dan faktor yang mempengaruhi penggunaan perancang keluarga dalam kalangan wanita umur reproduktif di Malaysia
Item Type: Book Section

Abstract: Family planning enables women to control pregnancy, plan family size, determine the timing of pregnancies, and space out births. Given that family planning practices reduce unwanted pregnancies and high-risk pregnancies, universal access to family planning has become a key indicator in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2023 Agenda.
Despite positive evidence on family planning practices, the contraceptive use rate in Malaysia has remained around 50 percent since 1984. The aim of this study is to measure knowledge, prevalence, and factors influencing contraceptive use among ever-married women of reproductive age (15-49 years) across Malaysia.
This study employs a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional survey. A two-stage stratified sampling technique was used in sample selection. Data collection from 2,081 respondents was conducted using an online questionnaire and face-to-face interviews. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test via SPSS version 26.
Nearly half (48.1%) of respondents had low levels of knowledge about family planning. The prevalence of family planning practice was 64.7 percent. Modern methods, such as condoms, and traditional methods, such as withdrawal (azal), were the most commonly used contraceptive methods among women.
The prevalence of family planning was higher among Malays, women aged 30-34, those residing in rural areas, individuals with lower education levels, employed women, the M40 income group, those with 3-4 children, and those with high knowledge of contraceptives.
Family planning use showed no significant relationship with age, employment status, or household income. However, it was significantly associated with ethnicity, place of residence, education level, number of children, and level of knowledge.
Although the prevalence of family planning in this study was high, the level of knowledge among women about family planning remained low. Therefore, efforts to enhance women's knowledge of family planning should be strengthened to ensure they receive accurate information. This will enable them to make informed decisions about contraceptive use, ultimately contributing to the government's efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda
