Abstract

A set of questionnaires on smoking behaviour are required in order to conduct a full assessment of smoking issues in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was conducted to ensure that the Malay Version of The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale for Smoking Cessation (M-SOCRTAES-S) and Malay Version of Smoking Self-Efficacy (M-SSE) questionnaires can be used systematically in Malaysia. The permission to adapt these two questionnaires for the publishers was made and permission was obtained. This questionnaire has been translated into Malay using the direct translation method. Two experts were involved in the content validity process while eight lay adult smokers were involved in the face validity process while a total of 50 adult smokers were involved in the reliability assessment process. The results of the study found that the S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.97 and 0.94 while the S-CVI/Ave values ​​and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 1.0 and 1.0. The S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.99 and 0.95 while the S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 0.98 and 0.83. There are three domains in the M-SOCRATES-S questionnaire, namely the recognition domain, the ambivalent domain and the taking action domain, these three domains recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.85, 0.80 and 0.89. While there are two domains in the M-SSE, namely internal and external, which recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.81 and 0.77. The findings of this study show that the content validity, face validity, and reliability of these two questionnaires are acceptable and that they may be utilised among Malaysian adult smokers who can speak and write Malay.

Abstract

The outbreak of respiratory disease caused by COVID-19 brings a significant impact towards various areas of human life such as the growing panic among the populations. Accordingly, the Movement Control Order (MCO) has been executed by the governments around the globe to prevent the citizens from getting infected, thus lessening the panic. Therefore, during the MCO there appears to be a great opportunity for the consolidation of team spirit among the citizens. This is especially true in Malaysia where it seems that although the disease is mainly a medical issue, it also prevails the way the citizens eradicate panic and strengthening the team spirit. It is argued that though the disease brings problems, the outbreak provides opportunities for a more thorough way of eradicating panic and strengthening team spirit among the citizens. This paper presents a preliminary discussion on the method of eradicating panic and strengthening team spirits for combating pandemic among the citizens of Sabah, Malaysia. The study in which this paper is based applies a qualitative method of document and media social analysis. It thus unveils the prospects of eradicating COVID-19 panic and strengthening team spirit among the citizens.
