Abstract

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected everyone and stress-related mental health issues affect young people more than other groups, including marginalised populations. As a result of this pandemic, society is being urged to examine indigenous psychological resilience, especially among Orang Asli (OA) communities in Malaysia. Hence, this study aims to identify factors associated with psychological resilience among OA youths of Kampung Orang Asli (KOA) in Gombak during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: A cross-sectional study comprising OA communities was conducted between January 2022 and September 2022 in the Gombak District, Selangor. A self-administered online questionnaire using Google Forms and a self-administered printed questionnaire was used to collect data from youths aged 18 years old-24 years old. The Malay version of Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25) was used to assess psychological resilience. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 28.0, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associated factors and their significance level.

Result: A total of 158 participants were involved in this study. The mean score for psychological resilience was estimated at 69.28 (SD = 14.52). The social relationships domain recorded the highest mean score for quality of life (71.54, SD = 13.72). Meanwhile, the total mean score for self-esteem fell into the high-level category (35.77, SD = 4.94), and the domain of relationship and family dynamics under family environment scored the highest mean score of 18.83 (SD = 2.89). Psychological resilience was associated with youths of KOA Batu 12 (β = -14.274, P < 0.05), KOA Ulu Batu (β = -17.789, P < 0.05), less than four siblings (β = -6.495, P < 0.05), owner of residential property (β = -7.543, P < 0.05), high self-esteem (β = 0.612, P < 0.05) and good relationship and family dynamic (β = 1.391, P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Developing interventions aimed at psychological resilience determinants may assist OA youths in coping with future threats.

雪兰莪州原住民青少年在 COVID-19 期间的心理复原力及其相关因素。

背景：冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）已影响到每个人，而与压力相关的心理健康问题对年轻人的影响比其他群体更大，包括边缘化人群。由于这一流行病的影响，社会正在呼吁研究本地人的心理复原力，尤其是马来西亚的原住民（Orang Asli）社区。因此，本研究旨在确定在COVID-19大流行期间，与贡榜甘榜奥朗阿斯里（KOA）奥朗阿斯里青年心理复原力相关的因素：2022 年 1 月至 2022 年 9 月期间，在雪兰莪州的贡榜区开展了一项横断面研究，研究对象包括 OA 社区。使用谷歌表格自填在线问卷和自填印刷问卷，从 18 岁至 24 岁的青少年中收集数据。马来语版康纳-戴维森复原力量表-25（CD-RISC-25）用于评估心理复原力。数据分析采用 SPSS 28.0 版，并进行了多元线性回归分析，以评估相关因素及其显著性水平：本研究共有 158 名参与者。心理复原力的平均得分为 69.28（标准差 = 14.52）。社会关系领域的生活质量平均得分最高（71.54，标准差 = 13.72）。同时，自尊的总平均分属于高水平类别（35.77，标准差 = 4.94），家庭环境下的关系和家庭动态领域的平均分最高，为 18.83（标准差 = 2.89）。心理复原力与 KOA Batu 12（β = -14.274，P < 0.05）、KOA Ulu Batu（β = -17.789，P < 0.05）、兄弟姐妹少于四人（β = -6.495，P < 0.05）、拥有住宅（β = -7.543，P <0.05）、自尊心强（β = 0.612，P <0.05）以及良好的人际关系和家庭动态（β = 1.391，P <0.05）：结论：针对心理复原力的决定因素制定干预措施可帮助 OA 青少年应对未来的威胁。
