Abstract: Discussions on reproductive and sexual health among Malaysians, particularly teenagers, remain considered a taboo. However, knowledge in this field is essential to prevent misunderstandings and promote moral values. Social media, with its collaborative and interactive nature, has become the primary platform for discussions related to this topic. This study finds 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 complicates the understanding of discussions and sentiments shared. As an effort to better understand this issue, a sentiment lexicon has been developed, supported by the LPPKN Analytic initiative (https://lppknanalitik.com/). This platform uses sentiment analysis technology, machine learning, and interactive dashboards to analyze social media data. Posts and comments on social media containing key terms are processed, cleaned, and categorized into three main aspects: Perception, Knowledge, and Behavior. This approach provides a deeper insight into how teenagers communicate about reproductive and sexual health, effectively leveraging the potential of social media data.

Abstract: This study aims to identify the trends in contraceptive use among new users before, during, and after the Movement Control Order (MCO), as well as to determine the distribution of contraceptive use among new users based on radius and origin. Additionally, it seeks to assess the percentage differences in new contraceptive users between the years 2020 and 2019. The findings show that there were no new contraceptive users during the MCO period (March 18 – May 3, 2020). Implants emerged as the preferred family planning method among clients at the Klinik Nur Sejahtera Selangor, while condoms were the least used method. The 'Long Married Mothers' profile refers to women who have been married for 14 to 22 years. This group may have chosen not to have children, and using contraceptives is seen as the best alternative. The geo-demographic profile and the distribution map of contraceptive users developed in this study can serve as a guide for planning and decision-making, such as health policies, educational programs, population projections, reproductive health research, and family planning.

Modelling a comprehensive Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) plan for societal well-being in Malaysia
Item Type: Conference or Workshop Item
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2024
Abstract: Malaysia is currently going through a demographic transition as an aging country that is affected by two main factors, namely the decline in the overall fertility rate, as well as the increase in average life expectancy. The elderly are often associated with a decline in physical and cognitive abilities, which requires them to seek long-term care. This poses a major challenge for a country facing the phenomenon of population aging, as it impacts society and the government, particularly in economic and social aspects. Accordingly, it is important for Malaysia to immediately formulate a comprehensive strategy to deal with issues related to the aging of the population, particularly in the aspect of long-term care, to ensure the well-being of the people, as well as the sustainability of the country's fiscal management. Data collection for this study was conducted through seven focus group discussion sessions from March to August 2022, where the focus was on the four main aspects of long-term care insurance (LTCI), namely benefits, financing, eligibility, and supply. Taking into account policy makers' targets as well as the country's fiscal and economic situation, this study presents three main recommendations which are i) the implementation of a social insurance plan as a post-retirement benefit; ii) development of care economy; iii) increasing the retirement age limit. These measures are believed to help the country to meet the needs of the Malaysian community in facing the aging population transition.

Abstract: Sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human life, and it is important for every individual, regardless of ability, to have access to accurate and appropriate information about sexuality. Individuals with special needs often face challenges in learning and expressing their sexuality. Parents are the primary educators of sexual health, but many parents find it difficult or are unwilling to discuss topics related to sexuality with their children. Most teenagers receive sexual education through informal means, such as interactions with peers, but children with special needs do not have such opportunities. This study aims to identify the knowledge of sexual and reproductive health among adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and learning difficulties. Additionally, it seeks to develop a sexuality and reproductive module that is acceptable to adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and learning difficulties.

Abstract: The environment and dietary patterns have a significant impact on reproductive-age women experiencing infertility. Every year, fertility rates among women decline in many countries. Pollutants are constantly present in our surroundings, and environmental contaminants are commonly found in food, cooking ingredients, medications, and kitchenware that we use daily, which contribute to the causes of female infertility. Therefore, there is a need for monitoring the food industry/chemicals in food and raising public awareness about the importance of being mindful of both their diet and the surrounding environment.

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.
