    Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Press
    BACKGROUND Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often coexists with substance use disorders (SUDs). This study aimed to determine factors associated with ADHD symptoms among adults with SUDs in Malaysia. METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years with a ≥1-year history of substance use who were admitted to any of the three drug rehabilitation centres in urban Malaysia for >1 month were invited to participate. Participants were interviewed using the Malay version of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test to assess substance use and the Malay version of the Adult ADHD Self-Reporting Scale to assess ADHD symptoms. RESULTS The prevalence of adult ADHD symptoms among participants with SUDs was 47.2%. Compared with participants without ADHD, a lower proportion of participants with ADHD had medical comorbidities (84.9% vs 93.3%, p = 0.018), whereas a higher proportion of participants with ADHD symptoms had a history of imprisonment (80.8% vs 65.6%, adjusted p = 0.018) and first imprisonment before the age of 18 years (24.6% vs 16.8%, adjusted p = 0.048). CONCLUSION A high proportion of adults undergoing rehabilitation for SUDs have ADHD symptoms. Screening and interventions for ADHD should be integrated into SUD rehabilitation programmes.

    Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Press
    BACKGROUND Anxiety is common among house officers. Psychological inflexibility increases the risk of anxiety. This study aimed to determine the associations between anxiety and sociodemographic factors, work-related variables, and psychological inflexibility, and to identify predictors for anxiety among house officers in a hospital in Malaysia. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. House officers were recruited from seven departments (general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, emergency, anaesthesiology, and psychiatry) between December 2023 and March 2024 using convenience sampling. Participants were asked to rate their levels of psychological flexibility (using the seven-item Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II) and anxiety (using the seven-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale [AAQ-II]), as well as their perceived factors for anxiety. RESULTS In total, 43 male and 95 female participants (mean age, 27.5 years) were included in the analysis. Of the 138 participants, 75 (54.3%) were classified as having anxiety. Participants with anxiety were more likely to have a psychiatric condition (10.7% vs 1.6%, p=0.031), work more hours per week (73.95 vs 67.84, p=0.017), and have higher AAQ-II scores (31.61 vs 19.63, p<0.001). Common factors that the house officers perceived to be associated with anxiety included poor work-life balance (85.5%), hospital bureaucracy (77.5%), and performance pressure (73.9%). Predictors for anxiety were the AAQ-II score (adjusted odds ratio=1.19, p<0.001) and working hours per week (adjusted odds ratio=1.04, p=0.034). CONCLUSION Psychological inflexibility and excessive working hours are predictors for anxiety among house officers in a hospital in Malaysia.

  • The Impact of Shiatsu Massage on Labour Pain and Anxiety: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    Hestri Norhapifah, Mohamad Rodi Isa, Bahiyah Abdullah and Salina Mohamed

    ABSTRACT Background: Labour pain experienced by women during childbirth can significantly affect the mother’s psychological condition and birthing process. This study aimed to determine the effect of shiatsu massage on pain and anxiety during labour. Method: This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 80 nulliparous pregnant women who gave birth in four low-risk maternity clinics in Samarinda, Indonesia, from February to May 2022. The women were randomized into intervention (N=40) and control (N=40) groups based on random allocation. Certified midwives performed shiatsu massages following standard protocols. Pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale, and anxiety was assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Score at three times including before the intervention (T0), the latent phase (T1), and at transition phase (T2). The impact of the intervention was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance by SPSS 26. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in labour pain scores from 6.85±1.00 (T0) to 6.13±0.88 (T1) and 4.78±0.83 (T2) (P<0.001), while the control group showed an increase from 6.85±1.00 (T0) to 8.05±0.64 (T1) and 8.85±0.48 (T2) (P<0.001). Anxiety scores in the intervention group decreased from 28.53±4.41 (T0) to 26.15±3.59 (T1) and 20.65±2.69 (T2) (P<0.001), whereas the control group experienced an increase from 25.55±3.16 (T0) to 27.05±3.36 (T1) and 31.73±3.27 (T2) (P<0.001). The between-subject effects in time levels for labour pain and anxiety in the two study groups had a significant impact (P<0.001). Conclusion: Findings showed that shiatsu massage was effective and safe for relieving pain and reducing anxiety during childbirth of nulliparous women. This research suggests that shiatsu massage can be used as an effective alternative method to relieve pain and anxiety during labour in low risk pregnancies, particularly in settings with limited access to pharmaceutical analgesics.

    Wiley
    AbstractBackgroundThe rising percentage of children and adolescents experiencing mental disorders brought attention to the emerging opportunities for proactive oral health interventions in this population. Currently, existing guidelines focus mainly on oral health in general practice and on adults residing in care homes. This report aims to provide a broad overview of the effectiveness of oral health interventions for children and adolescents with mental disorders.MethodThis review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analyses 2020) statement. The initial electronic search yielded a total of 3710 articles. The search identified 2354 potential papers after removing duplicates and 2301 articles were excluded by title and abstract. The full texts of the remaining 53 articles and nine articles from the citation searching were screened and 15 articles matched the inclusion criteria. The Mixed‐Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used for quality appraisal.ResultsThe thematic analysis resulted in four main themes which were educational intervention, physical intervention, clinical intervention, and a combination of both educational and clinical intervention.ConclusionWe presented the findings in a narrative synthesis with the primary outcomes which served as answers to our main research question that prompted this systematic review.

  • Peri-Traumatic Distress and Its Relationship to Resilience and Coping Among Medical Students in Malaysia During COVID-19 Lockdown
    Salina Mohamed, Zaliha Ismail, Norley Shuib, and Nur Faizah Ali
    Frontiers Media SA
    Background: Medical students are not spared from the challenges related to the Covid-19 lockdown. The fear and uncertainties may lead to traumatic symptoms and test their resilience and sense of coping. Thus, this study aims to determine the prevalence of peri-traumatic distress symptoms and its association with the level of resilience and the coping strategies used during the lockdown among medical students.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional online questionnaire survey involving medical students from a public university in Malaysia. It was conducted during the COVID-19 lockdown or Movement Control Order (MCO) where the students were asked to fill in the COVID-19 Peri-traumatic Distress Index (CPDI), Brief COPE Inventory, and Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CDRS-25).Results: A total of 282 clinical and 172 pre-clinical medical students were involved. Peri-traumatic distress symptoms were reported by 27% out of the total students. This study found that those who were having peritraumatic distress symptoms were from the pre-clinical years, had poor internet access, as well as lower resilience levels, and used more dysfunctional coping strategies. Pre-clinical medical students with difficult internet access were eight times more likely to have peritraumatic distress symptoms.Conclusions: Given the high level of peri-traumatic distress symptoms reported by medical students during the lockdown, it is vital to identify the vulnerable students, assess their needs and risks to mental health problems during this challenging time as the pandemic is still ongoing with countries going in and out of lockdown depending on the cases at the time. The university administration for each University in Malaysia will need to have a clear academic guideline and policy as well as providing improved infrastructure to minimize the distress faced by medical students.

    ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of burnout and its associated risk factors among the University staff involving both academician and non-academician and relate these to their job satisfaction.MethodsA cross sectional study was conducted among the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UITM) staff involving both academician and non-academician. The participants were emailed the questionnaires through their university email and alternative email addresses. They were asked to complete questionnaires on their sociodemographic and work details, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS).ResultsAmong the 411 participants who participated, 53% were academicians (n= 216). Academician demonstrated greater burnout levels and psychological distress when compared to non-academician. Correlational analyses indicated moderate to high correlation between psychological distress and burnout due to work, personal and client where higher burnout was associated with higher psychological distress. Non-academician demonstrated greater job satisfaction levels when compared to academician. Correlational analyses indicated high correlation between job satisfaction and burnout due to work, with higher burnout levels associated with lower job satisfaction among staff. Conclusion This study showed that academicians suffers from high levels of burnout in aspects of personal, work and client related matters and this has contributed to higher psychological distress among them and greatly affect their job satisfaction.

    Public Library of Science (PLoS)
    Background Breast cancer patients often experience a high level of distress. Psychological distress is a broad construct encompass both depression and anxiety. Previous studies in examining which of these psychological symptoms (either anxiety or depression) were more significantly associated with the distress level in breast cancer patients is lacking. This study aims to compare the level of depression and anxiety between patients with different level of distress. The correlation between the changes in distress level with depression or anxiety over 12 months was also examined. Methods This study is from the MyBCC cohort study. Two hundred and twenty one female breast cancer patients were included into the study. They were assessed at the time of diagnosis, 6 months and 12 month using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and distress thermometer. The information on age, ethnicity, treatment types and staging of cancer were collected. Results 50.2%, 51.6% and 40.3% of patients had perceived high level of distress at baseline, 6 months and 1 year after diagnosis. Those with high perceived level of distress had significant higher anxiety scores even after adjusted for the underlying depressive scores (Adjusted OR at baseline = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.13–1.44; adjusted OR at 6 months = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.11–1.45; adjusted OR at 12 months = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.29–1.76). There were no significant differences in the depressive scores between the subjects with either low or high distress level. There was reduction in perceived level of distress, anxiety and depression scores at 12 months after the diagnosis. The decrease of distress was positively correlated with the reduction of anxiety scores but not the changes of depressive scores (r’ = 0.25). Conclusion Anxiety is a more significant psychological state that contributed to the feeling of distress in breast cancer as compared with depression. Levels of anxiety at diagnosis in this study would justify screening for anxiety, early identification and therapy for maintaining the psychological well-being of breast cancer patients. Further studies will be needed to measure the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.

    Objective Psychotherapy is a common non-pharmacological approach to help cancer patients in their psychological distress. The benefit of psychotherapies was documented, but the types of psychotherapies proposed are varied. Given that the previous literature review was a decade ago and no quantitative analysis was done on this topic, we again critically and systematically reviewed all published trials on psychotherapy in cancer patients. Method We identified 17 clinical trials on six types of psychotherapy for cancer patients by searching PubMed and EMBASE. Result There were four trials involved adjunct psychological therapy which were included in quantitative analysis. Each trial demonstrated that psychotherapy improved the quality of life and coping in cancer patients. There was also a reduction in distress, anxiety, and depression after a psychological intervention. However, the number and quality of clinical trials for each type of psychotherapy were poor. The meta-analysis of the four trials involved adjunct psychological therapy showed no significant change in depression, with only significant short-term improvement in anxiety but not up to a year—the standardized mean differences were −0.37 (95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.57, −0.16) at 2 months, −0.21 (95% CI = −0.42, −0.01) at 4 months, and 0.03 (95 % CI = −0.19, 0.24) at 12 months. Conclusion The evidence on the efficacy of psychotherapy in cancer patients is unsatisfactory. There is a need for more rigorous and well-designed clinical trials on this topic.

    S. Shamsuddin, H. Yussof, F. A. Hanapiah, and S. Mohamed
    IEEE
    This research presents the validation study of a qualitative tool to analyze the response in robot-based intervention. The 24 behavioral items in the tool were determined through routine observations carried out by clinicians and the definitions of autism adopted by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). 34 experts determined content validity and tool reliability by viewpoints through the Likert scale. The tool was found to have good content validity with more than 67% of experts scored at least 3 on the 5-point Likert scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.872 reflected the tool's content reliability and internal consistency. The tool was used to analyze the behavior response of children with autism when exposed to a humanoid robot. It functioned as a score-sheet to compare the behavior of autistic children with and without the presence of a robot. These findings put forward a tool with contents considered valid to evaluate behavior outcome of studies involving children with autism and robots.

    IEEE
    Robot-based intervention for children with autism is an evolving research niche in human-robot interaction (HRI). Recent studies have covered the role of robots in clinical and experimental setting but not much on integrating them in educational setting. Our previous work had shown that interaction with a robot poses no adverse effects and that the robot's specific interaction scenarios were associated with less autistic behavior. Extending this impact on school-going children, interactions that are in-tune with special education lessons are needed. This study aims to propose the integration of a robot into current learning environment for children with special needs, specifically autism. Six interaction scenarios had been designed based on the existing syllabus to teach communication skills, using the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) technique as the framework. Development of the robotic experience for learning also covers the required set-up involving participation from teachers. The actual research conduct involving school children, teachers and robot shall take place in the next phase.

  • Response of children with autism to robotic intervention and association with IQ levels
    Syamimi Shamsuddin, Hanafiah Yussof, Fazah Akhtar Hanapiah, and Salina Mohamed
    IEEE
    This paper presents a qualitative observation on the initial response of children with autism when exposed to a humanoid robot. To elicit response, the robot autonomously executed 5 segments of interaction designed according to the triad impairments of autism. The aim was to observe the children's autistic behavior with a robot compared to their natural characteristics as observed in classroom setting. We also seek the association between responses to the robot with the children's intelligence level. Results with 12 children were analyzed to acquire relationship between initial responses and the children's IQ scores. Analysis indicates that the presence of the robot had significantly reduced the scores of autistic traits in the subscale of stereotyped behavior and communication. Behavior evaluation shows that children with IQ scores ranging from 80 to 109 were more receptive to robot-based intervention.

    OBJECTIVE To examine the prescription rates in cancer patients of three common psychotropic drugs: anxiolytic/ hypnotic, antidepressant and antipsychotic. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, data were extracted from the pharmacy database of University Malaya Medical Center (UMMC) responsible for dispensing records of patients stored in the pharmacy's Medication Management and Use System (Ascribe). We analyzed the use of psychotropics in patients from the oncology ward and cardiology from 2008 to 2012. Odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for age, gender and ethnicity. RESULTS A total of 3,345 oncology patients and 8,980 cardiology patients were included. Oncology patients were significantly more often prescribed psychotropic drugs (adjusted OR: anxiolytic/hypnotic=5.55 (CI: 4.64-6.63); antidepressants=6.08 (CI: 4.83-7.64) and antipsychotics=5.41 (CI: 4.17-7.02). Non-Malay female cancer patients were at significantly higher risk of anxiolytic/hypnotic use. CONCLUSIONS Psychotropic drugs prescription is common in cancer patients. Anxiolytic/hypnotic prescription rates are significantly higher in non-Malay female patients in Malaysia.

  • A Qualitative method to analyze response in robotic intervention for children with autism
    S. Shamsuddin, H. Yussof, F. A. Hanapiah, and S. Mohamed
    IEEE
    This paper presents a method to carry out qualitative analysis when evaluating the interaction between child and robot in autism intervention. The technique consists of 24-items of behavioral assessment which was referenced to the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-Second Edition (GARS-2). GARS-2 is a screening instrument used to identify and diagnose autism. Preliminary results from a pilot study show that this method had allowed qualitative observation to be carried out to compare the behavior of autistic children with and without the presence of a robot. The feasibility of this technique will be further justified through future wide-spread studies involving a larger number of children spanning across the whole spectrum of autism.

  • Stereotyped behavior of autistic children with lower IQ level in HRI with a humanoid robot
    S. Shamsuddin, H. Yussof, S. Mohamed, F. A. Hanapiah, and L. I. Ismail
    IEEE
    Robots present immense potential as adjunct therapeutic tool, particularly for children with autism. Autism is a developmental disability normally detected within the first 3 years of life, characterized by the differing degrees of impairments in stereotyped behavior, social interaction and communication. This paper highlights our findings in a pilot study where children with autism were exposed to a humanoid robot. The simple modules of interaction were designed based on the human-robot interaction (HRI) approach. Six children who participated were identified with lower IQ classification. Child-robot interaction session and the children's interaction behavior in class (without robot) were recorded. A behavior score sheet referenced to GARS-2 was used to evaluate the videos in both set-ups. Initial responses of the children were analyzed specifically in the deficit area of stereotyped behavior. Overall results show that 5 out of the 6 children responded well in child-robot interaction. Comparison with in-class interaction portrays reduced percentage in stereotyped behavior during the child-robot interaction. However, strong proof to link the children's responses with their IQ levels need to be supported with larger samples of children in the future.
