Keywords : Model Ketidakupayaan Sosial-Perubatan, Kesejahteraan dalam Kalangan OKU

Abstract : Dalam Model Perubatan, kurang upaya dianggap sebagai ketidakupayaan fungsi kronik yang menyebabkan ketidakupayaan fizikal atau mental, seterusnya membawa kepada ketidakmampuan untuk bekerja dan terlibat sepenuhnya dalam masyarakat. Berbeza dengan Model Ketidakupayaan Sosial yang beranggapan bahawa OKU dilihat sebagai kumpulan minoriti yang dikenakan diskriminasi, stigma, pengasingan sosial, penindasan, peminggiran dan berhadapan dengan banyak halangan sosial untuk terlibat sepenuhnya dalam masyarakat. Bagi konteks Malaysia, adakah OKU dilihat menggunakan persepktif Model Sosial atau Model Perubatan? Dengan mengambil kira isu ini, kajian ini dijalankan untuk meneroka dan menjana konsep ketidakupayaan berdasarkan perspektif Model Sosial dan Perubatan bagi OKU di Malaysia. Kaedah Grounded Theory telah digunakan sebagai kaedah utama kajian ini. Analisis Grounded Theory telah menghasilkan model teori baru yang terdiri daripada lima perspektif Model Sosial-Perubatan (penerimaan, kehidupan berdikari, kesaksamaan, aksesibiliti dan kuasa dalam membuat keputusan); tiga sumber Model Sosial-Perubatan (kesedaran diri OKU, kesedaran masyarakat dan kesedaran Ibu bapa); enam halangan Model Sosial (ketidakadilan, stigma, diskriminasi, halangan, pengasingan dan ketidakberkesanan undang-undang); dua strategi (mendapat sokongan dan mendapat pengetahuan); pengaruh Model Sosial-Perubatan (kesejahteraan). Disimpulkan bahawa, dengan mengenal pasti dan menghasilkan model ketidakupayaan yang baru berkaitan dengan Model Sosial dan Model Perubatan yang sedia ada, ia akan memberikan maklumat yang berguna untuk kerajaan sebelum program atau polisi dilaksanakan

Volume : Vol 4, 2016

Publication Date : 2016-12-30

Keywords : adolescent development, parent and peer attachment, global self-worth.

Abstract : Over the years, the term global self-worth, which discusses on the adolescent’s overall evaluation on general happiness and satisfaction, becomes important. Recent literature suggests that both the parent’s and peer’s attachments to the adolescent may be a key determinant and a positive relationship in their global self-worth. The current study aimed to examine the importance of perceived attachment in relation to the adolescent’s global self-worth. A self-report survey was administered to a total of 100 adolescents in a public middle school. The questionnaires used in the survey are from the Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA-R; Gullone & Robinson, 2005) and Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA; Harter, 2012). The validity and reliability of both questionnaires were verified. The Standard Multiple Regression analysis was conducted to determine the best predictor for the global self-worth. The results of the analysis allow us to answer the research question of the study, which indicate that the parent’s attachment makes a significant contribution to the prediction of an adolescent’s global self-worth (? = .295, p > 0.01, p < 0.05). Surprisingly, the finding revealed that there is no significant influence of peer’s attachment on the adolescent’s global self-worth. The current study also noted that the role of the parent’s attachment is important in predicting the global self-worth of an adolescent, which shows to be inconsistent with other studies. The conclusions and implications in the impact of the parent’s and peer’s attachment on the adolescent’s self-worth were discussed
