“…Knowledge and sociodemographic could indirectly influence attitude and subjective norms, which subsequently affect intention (Fishbein & Azjen, 1975). A study demonstrated a noteworthy correlation between subjective norms and the intention to smoke among non-smoking youths (Lim et al, 2021b). The proposed conceptual framework shown in Figure 1 illustrates the source of information as the starting point.…”

Youths receive information from various sources inadvertently every day. A clear understanding of cardiovascular health information sources is important for the government, the private sector, and non-government organisations to devise better strategies to enable information to reach youths effectively. Besides, cardiovascular health information sources also affect youths’ subjective norms, health literacy, attitude towards cardiovascular disease prevention, and cardiovascular health information-seeking intention—these variables are crucial for youths to promote self-management skills. Thus, this conceptual paper aims to examine cardiovascular health information sources, as well as the relationship between information sources and Malaysian youths’ subjective norms, health literacy level, attitude towards cardiovascular disease prevention, and cardiovascular health information-seeking intention. This paper is significant as it can be used as a reference for future researchers, government policymakers, the private sector, and non-government organisations to plan cardiovascular disease campaigns or related activities among youths to optimise the results in reducing cases of cardiovascular disease in Malaysia.

“…This instrument measures an individual's self-worth by gauging both negative and positive feelings of oneself and can be administered to individuals aged 12 years old and older (21). Numerous studies worldwide have vouched for this scale's reliability and validity (including Malaysia), all establishing that this scale is able to effectively evaluate the self-esteem level of individuals across ethnicities (29). The Malay version of the RSES was used in this research.…”

Youth with physical disabilities may have concerns about their bodily functions and appearance, which do not typically conform to sociocultural norms. A mounting body of research confirmed that physical disability has an adverse impact on self-esteem development. This study aimed at developing a cognitive therapy module for professional counsellors to help Malaysian youth with physical disabilities enhance their self-esteem. The methodology comprised three stages: (i) self-esteem baseline assessment; (ii) module design and development; and (iii) module evaluation. First, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to collect data from 110 youth with physical disabilities. The results revealed that participants had moderate levels of self-esteem (mean, x̄ = 30.16). This finding highlighted the need to increase the level of self-esteem among youth with physical disabilities. The second stage involved the development of the cognitive therapy module for self-esteem enhancement (CTSEE) using Sidek’s model of module development, which resembles the ADDIE framework. The third stage involved evaluating the module’s content validity and reliability. Findings showed that the therapy module has high content validity and reliability. The overall findings demonstrate that the CTSEE module can be applied by professional counsellors to enhance self-esteem among youth with physical disabilities.

“…In this study, second-hand smoke exposure indicates a significant highlight when, there is a potential comfort and health issue. The main source of second-hand smoke from smokers who use tobacco products during the study period is second-hand smoke [27]. The health effects of second-hand smoke can vary, including asthmatic attacks [5], [26] [28], particle dispersion that effects eye [8], [24], [26], and respiratory discomfort from nearby non-smoker due to exposure to the tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide [10], [29].…”

In educational facilities, good and healthy indoor air quality is critical to ensure students’ focus and academic activities can be carried out efficiently. The goal of this study was to evaluate the link between indoor air quality level with sick building syndrome and health complaints among occupants. A cross-sectional study was conducted which involved 513 occupants. A modified MM040Na questionnaire was used in this study. Occupants’ workspaces were monitored for indoor air quality. The score obtained from the questionnaire and environmental factors were tested using statistical analyses incorporating test of differences namely Chi–Square, t-test, and non-parametric analysis. Logistic regression was conducted to evaluate relationship between exposure and occupants’ complaint. Results shows that some indoor air pollutants (carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and particulate matter) are related to overall sick building syndrome (Odd Ratio, OR=1.348, 2.493, 1.958 respectively). General score of sick building syndrome (SBS) shows significant relationship with air motion (OR=2.220) and air flow (OR=2.515). Mucosal score of SBS suggest exposure risk towards indoor factors namely formaldehyde (OR=2.799), while dermal effect was associated from the exposure of Particulate (OR=2.88), carbon dioxide (OR=4.000), and air flow (OR=2.679). In educational environments, indoor contaminants have an impact on reported symptoms.<br /><br />
