Sejarah baharu pada tahun 2020 telah tercipta apabila kesejahteraan individu dan kemampuannya berfungsi secara efektif tergugat kerana penularan Covid-19 di Malaysia. Pelbagai konflik wujud akibat daripada penularan wabak ini antaranya dari segi kewangan, perhubungan sosial, pekerjaan, pengurusan dan termasuklah kesihatan mental. Namun begitu, dapat dilihat bahawa kajian terdahulu lebih menumpu kepada kesan penularan Covid-19 terhadap psikososial individu tanpa melibatkan data empirikal yang jelas, justeru kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti tahap tekanan, kebimbangan dan kemurungan remaja di era pandemik Covid-19 dan mengenal pasti tahap resilien serta pengaruhnya terhadap kesihatan mental. Seramai 135 orang remaja telah dipilih secara rawak sebagai responden kajian. Kajian ini berbentuk kajian kuantitatif di mana ujian Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) dan Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25) digunakan bagi pengumpulan data. Secara keseluruhan dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap kesihatan mental remaja berada pada tahap yang normal dan majoriti responden mempunyai tahap resilien yang sederhana. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan juga menunjukkan terdapat 18.6% responden menghadapi tekanan hidup dan 9.5% mempunyai tahap resilien yang rendah. Implikasi kajian ini turut bermanfaat bagi pihak yang berkenaan seperti para kaunselor agar pelbagai pelan pemulihan dan rawatan dapat dilakukan segera bagi kesihatan mental berada pada tahap terbaik.
The rise of social issues among adolescents from time to time proves that the level of mental health among adolescents is alarming. Various factors should give serious attention to curb this issue from spreading. This study was conducted to explore the extent of individual and spiritual factors that cause social and mental health problems among adolescents. It uses a qualitative study approach through a case study strategy. Through interviews with respondents in an individual counseling session, this study involves the purposive sampling method aimed at eleven adolescents aged 16 to 20 years who are undergoing rehabilitation. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed thematically using the Atlas.ti application. Data analysis enabled the identification of underlying themes that further contributed to the main themes for this study. Results show three main themes identified for individual factors: low self-esteem, social interest, and personality formation. Meanwhile, for spiritual factors, two elements were successfully formed: belief and confidence and the motivation to worship. This study provides vital information and implications that may guide the stakeholders to create various models, modules, and interventions to treat and prevent adolescents from engaging in social problems that affect their mental health.
