Abstract

Driving is an instrumental activity of daily living that has become an essential mode of transportation. Good ergonomic practices are vital to ensure successful driving. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire that could be used to determine how personal, environmental, and occupational factors influence drivers' perceptions of seating ergonomics. This cross-sectional study was conducted in June-July 2022 among 250 drivers in the Klang Valley, Malaysia, recruited via an online survey. The participants completed the questionnaire by assessing different constructs in the Person-Environment-Occupationmodel and perceptions of seating ergonomics. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted, followed by a path analysis. Test-retest reliability wasassessed in 30 participants. The final EFA generated a four-factor structure that accounted for 61.69% of the variance. The final version of the questionnairecontained 19 items. The Cronbach's alpha values for all the constructs were above 0.7, and all the intraclass correlation coefficients were above 0.8. Basedon the path analysis results, personal and occupational factors emerged as significant predictors for drivers' perceptions of seating ergonomics. The developed questionnaire was valid and reliable.

Abstract

Background: The rise of the aged population in Malaysia has resulted in the increased need for services, especially in terms of healthcare. Hence, continuous support is crucial to managing the daily living activities of this group. This study aimed to identify the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of older adults residing in Malaysian aged care homes concerning daily living activities and their provision of assistance to other residents with more significant disabilities. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted on ten older adults and six staff members of two selected residential aged care homes. The interview session concerned the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of older people related to the basic activities of daily living (BADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). We also applied a qualitative content analysis method. Results: Three themes emerged after the interviews: (1) knowledge of older adults on BADL and IADL (highest response); (2) attitudes toward the assistance given to other residents; (3) types of assistance given to other residents and the staff. Conclusions: The knowledge, attitude, and practices related to the assistance in activities of daily living by older adults may contribute to the development of a program or module that can fulfill the needs of other residents with more significant disabilities, especially in aged care homes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the activities and outcomes of weight management programs from the practitioner’s perspective. A qualitative approach was employed in this study, which included in-depth interview and document analysis. Ten practitioners with experience and diverse backgrounds were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Concurrently, document analsis was utilised by examining the printed and online documents provided by the practitioners. The verbatim transcripts and documents were analysed thematically by using Nvivo 12 software. Thematic analysis revealed four themes that represent the key activities generally executed in weight management programs: 1) nutrition and physical activities; 2) screening and monitoring; 3) motivation and spirituality, and 4) task and challenge. This study found two uncommon activities rarely mentioned in previous programs: spirituality and challenge. Practitioners also highlighted activities in the program had positive effects on participants, including: 1) demonstrating positive selfchange; 2) influencing their surroundings, and 3) cost savings. Notably, combining these activities could lead to improved outcomes, particularly when participants are fully committed to the program. In conclusion, this study identified four primary activities and three positive outcomes from the weight management programs. From the practitioner’s perspective, integrating these activities was seen as a good strategy to achieve an optimal result. Hence, it is recommended that future practitioners to incorporate and diversify the activities to enhance their effectiveness.
