Abstract :
The Quit Smoking Clinic Services (QSCS) service at government hospitals is provided by the Ministry of Health Malaysia to help smokers quit smoking. Therefore, information on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking profiles and factors that correlate with the readiness to quit smoking is important. This study was conducted to identify factors that correlate with the readiness to quit smoking. A total of 115 respondents were involved in this study. Social support from friends has a significant negative correlation with willingness to quit smoking (r=-0.224). For the willingness to quit smoking construct, there is a significant negative correlation between social support from the family and the pre-contemplation construct score (r=-0.179), there is a negative significant correlation between the nicotine dependence score and the contemplation construct score (r=-0.180), there is a significant negative correlation between social support from friends with the action construct score (r=0.183) and there is a significant negative correlation between social support as a whole and social support from friends with the behavior maintenance construct (r=-0.206, r=-0.305). Therefore, the results of this study have the potential to be used as the basis reference for the development of special guidelines that focus on empowering smokers against external influences to quit smoking. In addition, factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, nicotine dependence, social support, play an important role in each stage of readiness to quit smoking. Special modules of behavioural treatment interventions involving social support and using available resources are needed to ensure that smoking treatment given is appropriate. Thus, assessment study using biopsychosocial and spiritual perspectives should also be conducted in Malaysia so that an understanding of the issues faced by smokers to quit smoking can be clearly understood holistically.

Abstract :
There is a rise in the incidence and prevalence of mental distress among university students. However, the rate of mental health service utilisation is low. As psychological help-seeking attitude is a strong predictor for seeking psychological treatment, it is important to validate feasible and psychometrically sound instruments in the Malaysian context. This pilot study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of six scales measuring the moderating role of culture on the effect of stigma in psychological help-seeking attitudes among university students. An online questionnaire, consisting of 83 items and 6 scales namely, the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ-21), Loss of Face Scale (LOF), Individualism versus Collectivism Scale (INDCOL), Perceptions of Stigmatisation by Others for Seeking Psychological Help Scale (PSOSH), Self-Stigma of Seeking Help (SSOSH), and The Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Scale (ATSPPHS-SF) is distributed to a convenience sample of 61 samples from International Islamic University Malaysia. The results of this pilot study indicated that the overall reliability of the questionnaire was Cronbach’s Alpha 0.90. The Cronbach Alpha value for the total of all measures was found to be highly reliable. A factor analysis was run to test the validity of the unidimensional scales, and the results ranged from KMO value 0.63 to 0.84 with Bartlett’s p-value for all scales being significant (p <0.00). Validity of multidimensional scales were tested with convergent validity analysis. Both the INDCOL and PVQ-21 showed a good convergent validity and is a valid tool. The instruments used in this pilot study can be used for the main research study in studying the moderating role of culture on the effect of stigma in psychological help-seeking attitudes among university students as the instruments are multiculturally competent. Therefore, in a multicultural population like Malaysia, instruments as such are found to be helpful in studying the effects of culture, stigma, and personal values on psychological help-seeking attitudes.

Abstract :
Penularan wabak Covid-19 telah banyak merubah corak pembelajaran dan pengajaran (PdP) di universiti yang dijalankan sepenuhnya secara dalam talian. Perubahan corak pembelajaran ini mengundang rasa bimbang dalam kalangan pelajar universiti terutamanya pelajar tahun akhir di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam mahupun Swasta (IPTA/IPTS). Hal ini kerana mereka perlu berhadapan dengan cabaran dan persaingan dalam mendapatkan pekerjaan ekoran berlakunya pandemik Covid-19. Semua ini memerlukan ketahanan kendiri yang tinggi khususnya dalam kalangan pelajar tahun akhir. Dalam meneroka fenomena ini, satu kajian telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji pengaruh tahap ketahanan kendiri terhadap kesediaan mereka untuk bekerja dalam kalangan pelajar tahun akhir di IPTA dan IPTS. Kajian ini juga mengkaji perbezaan antara pelajar IPTA dan IPTS dari segi ketahanan kendiri dan kesediaan mereka untuk bekerja dalam era pandemik. Seramai 345 orang pelajar tahun akhir di IPTA/IPTS di Sabah turut serta dalam kajian. Kajian mendapati, wujud pengaruh ketahanan kendiri terhadap kesediaan bekerja bagi pelajar IPTA dan IPTS di Sabah. Dari segi perbezaan ketahanan kendiri dan kesediaan bekerja pula, tidak wujud perbezaan yang signifikan antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah terhadap pelajar tahun akhir bagi kedua kumpulan pelajar IPTA dan IPTS. Secara keseluruhannya, isu yang dibincangkan dalam kajian ini diharapkan dapat membantu pelajar tahun akhir IPTA/IPTS untuk lebih bersedia dalam mendepani cabaran dalam memasuki dunia pekerjaan tidak kira dalam apa juga situasi yang berlaku di luar jangka.
