Using Data

This study investigates factors affecting older persons’ state of loneliness in multiethnic Malaysia using data from the 2004 Malaysian Population and Family Survey, the first nationally representative sample in Malaysia. The study sample was extracted to include Malays, Chinese, Indians and other Indigenous groups aged 60 and above, and who had children (n= 1791). Cross tabulations and ordinal logistic regression methods were used in the analysis. Among the ethnic groups, older Malays were more likely than their Chinese and Indian counterparts to experience loneliness. Loneliness was found to be associated with age, marital status, education level, sources of income, health status, and physical limitations. Among older people, feelings of loneliness were inversely related with coresidence with adult children and participation in religious activities. Sociodemographic changes have eroded the traditional family support system for the elderly, while social security remains inadequate. This study shows the important role of family in alleviating loneliness among older people. Hence the need to promote and facilitate coresidence, as well as participation in religious activities, and a healthy lifestyle as a priority strategy is in line with the objectives of the National Policy for the Older People.

Introduction. Smoking prevalence is disproportionately high among Asian American immigrant men with limited English proficiency. Understanding the role of family support may provide insights into culturally acceptable strategies to promote smoking cessation. Aims. This study examined how family support was associated with readiness to consider smoking cessation among Chinese and Vietnamese American male daily smokers. Methods. We analyzed baseline data ( N = 340 ) from a cluster randomized trial of a family-based healthy lifestyle intervention. We assessed the frequency of receiving family support in various forms (encouraging use of cessation resources, praising efforts, checking in, and reminding of familial role). Multiple regression analysis was used to determine associations between family support areas and readiness to consider smoking cessation, controlling for covariates. Results/Findings. Reporting a higher frequency of receiving praise and encouragement for one’s efforts to quit was positively associated with readiness to consider cessation. Other areas of family support were not significant. Conclusions. These findings provide evidence to explore specific areas of family support in enhancing Asian American smokers’ readiness to consider cessation. As there is high interest from Asian American family members to support their smokers for quitting, culturally specific and acceptable strategies are needed to promote smoking cessation among Asian Americans.

ABSTRAKPenderita stroke dapat mengalami gangguan motorik. Setelah melewati masa akut, penderita stroke yang mengalami gangguan motorik diharapkan menjalani program rehabilitasi motorik. Proses rehabilitasi motorik penderita stroke membutuhkan dukungan keluarga karena dapat memotivasi dan meningkatkan kepatuhan pasien dalam menjalani program rehabilitasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa dukungan keluarga pada pasien stroke dalam menjalani rehabilitasi motorik. Sampel penelitian adalah pasien yang berkunjung ke Puskesmas Sidotopo Wetan yang menderita stroke dan sedang melakukan program rehabilitasi sebanyak 27 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson menunjukkan nilai p = 0.496 (α<0.05) dan nilai r = - 0.137, dan dari hasil uji tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan antara dukungan emosional, penghargaan, informatif, dan instrumental keluarga terhadap proses rehabilitasi motorik penderita stroke. Hal ini dikarenakan sebagian besar penderita tidak tinggal serumah dengan keluarga, sehingga hal ini membuat penderita tidak mendapatkan dukungan keluarga yang optimal. Bila penderita mendapatkan dukungan yang cukup dari keluarga, diharapkan penderita dapat termotivasi untuk merubah gaya hidup sehat secara optimal. Kata kunci: dukungan keluarga, pasien stroke, rehabilitasi motorik ABSTRACTStroke patients may experience physical motor impaired. After passing through the acute period, stroke patients with physical motor impaired must took a physical motor rehabilitation program.

Family support has evolved from a buzzword of the 1990s to a concept founded in theory, mandated by federal law, valued across disciplines, and espoused by both parents and professionals. This emphasis on family-centered practices for families of young children with disabilities, coupled with federal policy initiatives and technological advances, served as the impetus for the development of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs (Nicholson & Martin, in press). White, Forsman, Eichwald, and Muñoz (2010) provide an excellent review of the evolution of EHDI systems, which include family support as one of their 9 components. The National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM), the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, and the Center for Disease Control Centers cosponsored the first National EHDI Conference. This conference brought stakeholders including parents, practitioners, and researchers from diverse backgrounds together to form a learning collaborative (Forsman, 2002). Attendees represented a variety of state, national, and/or federal agencies and organizations. This forum focused effort on the development of EHDI programs infused with translating research into practices and policy. When NCHAM, recognizing the critical role of family support in the improvement of outcomes for both children and families, created a think tank to investigate the concept of a conference centered on support for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing in 2005, the “Investing in Family Support” (IFSC) conference was born. This conference was specifically designed to facilitate and enhance EHDI efforts within the family support arena. From this venue, a model of family support was conceptualized and has served as the cornerstone of the IFSC annual conference since 2006. Designed to be a functional framework, the IFSC model delineates where and how families find support. In this article, we will promote and encourage continued efforts towards defining operational measures and program components to ultimately quantify success as it relates to improved outcomes for these children and their families. The authors view this opportunity to revisit the theoretical underpinnings of family support, the emerging research in this area, and the basics of the IFSC Model of Family Support as a call to action. We challenge professionals who work with children identified as deaf or hard of hearing to move family support from conceptualization to practices that are grounded in evidence and ever mindful of the unique and dynamic nature of individual families.
