“…For instance, Loh et al [50] reported that Malay adolescents recorded lower HRQOL, as compared to adolescents of other ethnicities [34]. In a more recent study, Lai et al found that the Malay elderly group recorded higher mean control, autonomy, self-realisation, and pleasure (CASP-19) score (than the Chinese and Indian elderly groups), suggesting higher QOL instead [51]. Therefore, it is imperative to further explore these health inequalities across ethnicities in Malaysia for optimal health and well-being.…”

This cross-sectional study examined the relationships of financial literacy (FL) and financial behaviour (FB) with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) during the COVID-19 pandemic among low-income working population (20–60 years old) in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire survey was used with HRQOL data were gathered using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) tool. A generalised linear model was employed to examine the hypothesised relationships between the constructs. From 1186 respondents, the majority were employed (73.9%), had a monthly household income of less than RM 2500 (74.5%), and did not have any chronic medical conditions (74.5%). The mean (SD) values of FL, FB, and EQ-5D-5L were 5.95 (1.48), 22.08 (4.79), and 0.96 (0.10), respectively. The results of the adjusted model revealed lower age group, Malay ethnicity, Indian ethnicity, and increased FB score as significant determinants of higher EQ-5D-5L scores. With the addition of the chronic medical condition factor into the saturated model, the lower age group, ethnicity, and no chronic medical condition were significant determinants of higher HRQOL. The effects of FB on QOL were confounded by chronic diseases, implying that interventions that focus on improving FB for those with chronic medical condition may help to improve the QOL among the low-income working population.

“…(5,6) In addition, old age brings with it increasing vulnerability as a result of physical and functional deterioration, and the attendant burdens on health and social care services. (7,8) Maintaining good health and well-being is often presented as an indicator of healthy or successful aging. (9,10) Therefore, older adults are an important issue in which a priority challenge is represented for health authorities and health professionals, whose function is to provide a better quality of life for successful aging.…”

“…Cultural and religious norms in Malaysia create intense family relations and support systems, which serve as a crucial source of elderly care (Ahmad Ramli et al, 2022 ). Malaysia is widely known as a multicultural country, with the main ethnic groups consisting of the Malays, Chinese, and Indians (Lai & Tey, 2021 ). The multi-ethnic populations can provide insights into understanding demographic variables associated with social support for older caregivers in Malaysia.…”

Background: The negative health results associated with the family caregivers of older people can be alleviated with social support, which is considered a valuable resource. Hence, the factors contributing to social support need to be understood. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the social support associated with the family caregivers of older people. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 231 family caregivers of older people conveniently selected from two districts in Kelantan, a state in the North-East Region of Peninsular Malaysia. Data were gathered between June to December 2021 using a Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data in frequencies and percentages. Independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to examine correlations among variables. Results: The mean scores of social support for family caregivers were significantly higher among their family (Mean ± SD; 5.44 ± 0.969) and other important people (5.25 ± 1.123) compared to their friends (4.84 ± 1.094). Caregivers’ gender and duration of caregiving were significant factors associated with social support (p <0.05). Conclusions: The family caregivers received maximum support from their family and other important people, but they were less supported by their friends. This study also observed that the perceived social support of the caregivers of older people was affected by several factors, such as gender and duration of caregiving. This finding gives nurses and other healthcare workers the basic information they need to enhance nursing interventions and promote social support among those who care for older people, which can positively impact caregiving.
