Abstract

Older adults living in residential care facilities may experience limited social interaction, reduced opportunities to engage in meaningful activities, and dependence on care services. These conditions highlight the importance of psychosocial support that continues to consider each individual’s needs, preferences, dignity, and personal circumstances. This community service activity aimed to provide person-centered psychosocial support through meaningful activities and individualized services for older adults at Pusat Jagaan Mahmudah, Malaysia. The activity was conducted on August 14, 2026, involving 50 residents aged 50–70 years, consisting of 30 males and 20 females. A total of 20 residents were bedridden and therefore had limited capacity to participate in group activities. The intervention was designed based on Engel’s biopsychosocial model and the principles of person-centered care, addressing biological, psychological, and social dimensions. The activities included group singing, haircuts and personal grooming, supportive counseling, individualized care, and informal interactions through conversations and listening to residents’ stories. Observational findings indicated participant engagement through singing, smiling, storytelling, and interaction with other residents. Positive responses were also observed during personal grooming and individual interactions. The implementation demonstrated that psychosocial support can be adapted to residents’ physical conditions and participation capacities through a combination of group-based and individualized activities. Overall, the activities provided opportunities for older adults to receive individualized attention, interact with others, express themselves, and experience social connectedness. This approach may serve as a relevant form of psychosocial support in residential care settings by integrating meaningful activities with person-centered services.

Abstract

Adolescence is a developmental period that requires adequate emotion regulation skills, while adolescents from low-income (B40) groups in Malaysia face additional psychological pressures due to their families' socioeconomic conditions. This community service activity aimed to examine pre–post changes in alexithymia, difficulties in emotion regulation, and emotion regulation strategy use among adolescents in the PERMATA Remaja program of PERKASA UKM after a photography- and music-based activity program. Using a one-group pre-test–post-test design without a control group, 17 adolescents aged 13–19 years took part in two meetings, each combining a photography segment (emotion identification) and a music segment (emotion regulation). The Adolescent Alexithymia Scale (AAS), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were administered before the first meeting and at the end of the second meeting, and raw total scores were analyzed in JASP. Significant pre–post changes were found on all three measures: mean AAS scores decreased from 71.82 to 65.18 (paired-samples t(16) = 5.946, p < .001), mean DERS scores decreased from 52.53 to 49.06 (Wilcoxon W = 105.0, z = 3.296, p = .001), and mean ERQ total scores increased from 32.71 to 34.53 (paired-samples t(16) = −2.359, p = .031). These results indicate changes in participants' self-reported alexithymic tendencies and emotion regulation difficulties after the program, but they do not establish that the program caused these changes, given the small sample, the absence of a control group, the multicomponent design, and the reliance on self-report. Controlled studies with larger samples and follow-up are needed.
