The rapid ageing process experienced by many developing countries,
lead issues and challenges to deal with the highly demanding social care sector.
This qualitative study aimed to explore the understanding and views of the formal
caregivers in Malaysia towards social care for older persons. Series of focus group
discussions were conducted among 57 institutional social care workers at four
public residential care in Peninsular Malaysia based on the identified zones.
Two groups of participants involved, those aged less than 40 years old and
40 years old and above, divided based on the mean age. The interview was transcribed verbatim and inductive thematic analysis was conducted to identify the
related coding and themes. Three themes were identified to explain the views
and understanding of the participants related to social care for older persons
namely, religious values, health impact and knowledge. Although many participants emphasized on the negative impact of caregiving for older persons on physical and mental health of the caregivers, they also viewed the job as noble and a
useful platform to gain knowledge and enrich their personal experiences related
to the later life. Acknowledgement of the negative impacts on health of the
carers by the relevant authorities are very important to ensure productivity
and quality of work, healthy and safe workplace environment and maintaining
the rights of workers. 相似文献

Population ageing puts pressure on the workforce and increase the demands for aged workforce. The demographic shifts have made the issue of healthier workers, especially those of advanced age and physically related
job scopes, a fundamental aspect to employing older workers. Hence, this study aimed to explore the best practices to employ older adults into the social care sector. The social care sector was chosen in view of the nature of
job and declining demand among younger workers. A qualitative study was conducted involving series of focus
group discussions (FGD) with social care workers of long-term care centers in the peninsular Malaysia. Data was
collected using a validated and pre-tested semi-structured interview protocol. Each focus group discussions and
in-depth interviews were lasted between 45 min to 1 h. A total of 57 workers were consented for the study which
was divided into young and old workers based on the mean age of 41.43 [SD ± 9.97] years old. The content of the
interviews was transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was performed to inductively identify the coding and
themes within the data related to the challenges employing older workers into the social care sector. Three categories of coding were identified (individual, environmental and management factors), leading to the identification
of two important themes which are healthy workplace and work autonomy. The findings indicate the needs for
work culture transformations to cultivate healthy working environment and freedom of speech particularly
among the older workers. 相似文献

Leisure participation has been proven to be beneficial and has a positive link to successful ageing. This study aims to explore the sociodemographic determinants of leisure participation among the Malaysian elderly. A cross-sectional study was conducted among persons aged 60 years and above, purposively selected from eight health clinics in the state of Selangor. Leisure participation was measured using a validated Leisure Participation Questionnaire specific for Malaysian elderly, consisting of 25 activities, categorized into 4 categories, namely recreational (physical), cognitive, social and productive. Frequency of such participation was measured on a 6-point scale. Its association with sociodemographic variables was examined using inferential and regression analysis. 268 participants were involved in this study (response rate = 100%). The most common daily leisure activities were having conversations while relaxing (78.7%), watching television (74.6%) and reading (63.4%). The least frequently done leisure activities were from the recreational and cognitive categories. The activities were weakly correlated to each other, reflecting the lack of diversity of leisure activities among respondents. Education was the main predictor for leisure participation among elderly, with higher educational level is associated with high RAS (B = 1.020, P < 0.05), CAS (B = 1.580, P < 0.05) and SAS (B = 1.276, P < 0.05). Education level, marital status and locality were important determinants of leisure participation among elderly, with education being the main predictor. Further studies exploring the effective method of educating the ageing society are recommended. 相似文献

AbstractBackground: Like other affected countries around the globe, Malaysia is shocked by the Coronavirus disease 2019, which is also known as COVID-19.Aims: This commentary article discusses the COVID-19 scenario in Malaysia, particularly in relation to the sudden increase in the number of new cases related to an international mass gathering.Findings: Projection through modelling helps the relevant authorities to act quickly and effectively, including enforcement of physical and social distancing. Modelling also assists in understanding the link between the biological processes that underpin transmission events and the population-level dynamics of the disease.Conclusion: There is no one-size-fits-all approach in managing disease outbreak. The fight against COVID-19 very much depends on their attitude during the 14-day Movement Control Order (MCO) which has been extended recently. 相似文献
