Abstract	Introduction: Reporting workplace violence (WPV) is a crucial preventive measure. Given the great impact of WPV on mental health and well-being, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of WPV reporting among healthcare workers (HCWs). Method: A total of 557 public hospital HCWs in Melaka were recruited via probability sampling. A questionnaire guided by the theory of planned behaviour was developed, pre-tested and distributed. Malaysians with a minimum employment period of 12 months who experienced WPV within the same period in the selected public hospitals were eligible for inclusion. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the association between the independent variables and WPV reporting. Results: Psychological violence was the most common WPV (80.3%), with only 177 (31.8%) respondents reporting such. The respondents who had high subjective norm (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.160, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.32-3.53) and perceived behavioural control scores (AOR=3.976, 95% CI=2.41-6.55); were clinical (AOR=2.679, 95% CI=1.43-5.02) and non-clinical (AOR=4.271, 95% CI=2.23-8.18) support staff; experienced physical WPV (AOR=13.157, 95% CI=3.83-45.24) and both physical and psychological WPV (AOR=2.029, 95% CI= 1.13-3.65); and perceived that WPV was intentional (AOR=11.111, 95% CI=6.50-19.00) were more likely to report WPV. Conclusion: HCWs who experience physical WPV have the highest likelihood to report, followed by those who perceive WPV as intentional. The prevalence of reported WPV among public hospital HCWs is low, potentially underestimating its true occurrence owing to underreporting. Ensuring readily available reporting mechanisms for WPV, especially the psychological type, is crucial for HCWs.

Abstract	Poor hygiene practice has been an ongoing issue among the Orang Asli community in Malaysia and is strongly linked to poor child growth and malnutrition. A theory-based intervention was developed and implemented to improve the knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy and practice related to hygiene among the primary caregivers of the under-three Orang Asli children. A single blinded clustered randomized control trial was conducted involving random allocation of five government health clinics into intervention and control groups, using random block method. Using the Information-Motivation-Behaviour Skills (IMB) model, an intervention was developed and delivered in the form of health talks, video presentation, group counselling and guided practical sessions. Knowledge (information) and attitude (motivation) on hygiene, self-efficacy (behavioural skills) towards practising good hygiene and hygiene practice were measured at baseline, 1 and 3 months follow-up. A total of 166 participants were recruited for the study. The overall between groups comparison showed significant different between mean scores for self-efficacy (MD = 1.22 [0.36, 2.10]) and hygiene practice (MD = 1.70 [0.47, 2.93]), with moderate effect size of 0.3 and 0.36 respectively. Self-efficacy and hygiene practice had significant different in mean scores at 2 time points (at 1- and 3-month post-intervention) with the highest effect size is observed for practice at 1- month post-intervention (ES = 0.74). Within the intervention group, significant improvement of knowledge (MD = 1.06 [0.49-1.63]), attitude (MD = 1.04 [-0.56, 2.65]) and hygiene practice (MD = 1.78 [0.04, 3.52]) mean scores were observed at 3-month post-intervention as compared to the baseline measurement. IMB-based intervention was found to effectively improved self-efficacy and practice related to hygiene among the primary caregivers of the Orang Asli children. However, the moderate effect size may reflect the needs to revise the intervention in order to increase its impact and transferability.

Abstract	Background: The increased number of older persons in China, and the prevalence of most chronic diseases raised with age significantly increased the total disease burden. When a person ages, psychological distress happens when they are faced with stressors that they cannot cope with. Psychological distress refers to non-specific symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Health literacy influences several health outcomes, such as emotional functioning among the population. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the mediator role of health literacy between the presence of chronic disease and psychological distress among older persons living in Xi'an city. Thus, this study used the Cognitive Behavior Theory (CBT) as a combination of the basic behavioral and cognitive psychology principles to explain the cognitive processes associated with psychological distress. Methods: This study employs a quantitative research design using a cross-sectional survey of 300 older persons over 60 years living in the six urban districts of Xi'an city. Data were collected using the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). This study employed descriptive statistics and inferential methods to analyze the data. The inferential methods applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the hypothesis of the mediator role of health literacy between the presence of chronic disease and psychological distress. Results: In this study, chronic disease had an effect on health literacy among older persons living in Xi'an city (β=-0.047, p < 0.01); chronic disease impact on psychological distress among older persons living in Xi'an city (β = 0.047, p < 0.01); health literacy was identified effect on psychological distress among older persons in Xi'an city (β=-0.738, p < 0.001); health literacy as a partial mediator between chronic disease and psychological distress (β = 0.07, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Psychological distress among older persons is affected by chronic disease and health literacy. Health literacy had a partial mediating effect on the presence of chronic disease and psychological distress. Improved health literacy measures should be considered when treating older persons with psychological distress.

Abstract	Background: Parental and caregivers' hygiene-related knowledge, attitude and practice are compelling factors in the prevention of stunting and malnutrition among the aboriginal children in Malaysia, which are highly modifiable. This study was conducted to explore the knowledge, attitude and practice related to hygiene among primary caregivers of the under three aboriginal (known as Orang Asli) children community in Malaysia. Methods: A total of 166 primary caregivers of the under three children of the aboriginal community in Kuala Langat district, Selangor were recruited. Data related to caregivers', child's and environmental factors were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire, with knowledge, attitude and practice being the dependent variables. IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 25.0 was used to analyse the data. Pearson's correlation was conducted to identify the relationship between continuous data. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude and practice related to hygiene, as well as the predictors. Results: The mean scores for knowledge, attitude and practice related to hygiene were 6.91 (2.12), 23.67 (3.16), 29.97 (3.55) and 43.05 (4.41), respectively. Significant moderate positive correlations were found between attitude and hygiene practice (r = 0.445, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy was significantly correlated with attitude (r = 0.442, P < 0.001) and practice (r = 0.557, P < 0.001), with every unit increase in self-efficacy will predict 0.281 and 0.536 increase in attitude (B = 0.281, 95% CI: 0.126-0.435) and practice (B = 0.536, 95% CI: 0.348-0.725) scores respectively. Conclusion: Moderate mean scores for hygiene related knowledge, attitude and practice were observed in this study, with self-efficacy being a significant predictor for both hygiene-related attitude and practice but not knowledge. The self-efficacy of the caregivers should be sustained through continuous health education and counselling, to ensure improved hygiene practice. Future related research should consider the mediating role of self-efficacy on attitude and practice.

Abstract	Introduction: Despite the effectiveness of postpartum type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) screening to detect and manage T2DM among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the uptake remains low, indicating the potentially low level of relevant knowledge. This study aims to identify the prevalence of postpartum T2DM screening and its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 116 pregnant women with GDM who attended antenatal care follow-up at government health clinics in Seremban District, Negeri Sembilan. Multistage cluster sampling was performed to recruit the respondents from 6 mukims and 10 public health clinics. The data were collected using a validated and pre-tested questionnaire, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.81 to 0.95 for each section of the questionnaire. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews during the respondents' routine antenatal follow-ups for blood sugar monitoring. Results: Poor knowledge on postpartum T2DM screening (55.2%) was observed, which was significantly predicted by low educational level (AOR = 6.898, 95% CI 3.62-9.055) and low selfefficacy (AOR = 17.905, 95% CI 5.470-58.611). Conclusion: Most of the respondents had poor knowledge regarding postpartum T2DM screening, which was predicted by low education and self-efficacy. The findings highlight the need for continuous education and health promotion during antenatal follow-up targeting women with GDM with low self-efficacy and education level in order to ensure better adherence to screening.

Abstract	mHealth interventions have been reported to improve adherence to long-term therapies in chronic conditions. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in medication adherence among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), a leading cause of mortality globally. Relying on our inclusion criteria and the PRISMA recommendations, a literature search was carried out in the PubMed, Medline, and ProQuest databases for primary studies that investigated the impact of mHealth on medication adherence for cardiovascular disease (CVD) between 2000-2021. A total of 23 randomized controlled trials with 34,915 participants matched the selection criteria. The mHealth interventions used included text messages, mobile phone applications, and voice calls, which were used either as a single intervention or combined. Additionally, studies on enhancing drug adherence had contradictory findings: most of the studies elaborated positive results; however, six studies were unable to reveal any significant effect. Finally, a risk bias analysis revealed varying outcomes across all studies. This review, as a whole, supported the notion that mHealth interventions can be effective in improving adherence to CVD medication even though they could not improve adherence to all CVD medications when compared with controls. Further trials with more refined designs integrated with comprehensive interventions are needed to produce better health outcomes.

Abstract	Introduction: Khat is a flowering plant with stimulant effect on the nervous system and produce psychological dependence. Despite its harmful effects, the ingestion of khat has been part of cultural norms and the legality of khat varies by region. Objective: This systematic review aimed at critically evaluating the available evidence on the risk factors of khat chewing among adolescents. Methods: A systematic review was conducted on published research studies from five databases Scopus, PubMed, Science-direct, Ovid and google scholar using keywords khat chewing OR qat chewing AND associated factors OR risk factors OR contributing factors AND adolescents OR teenagers. Articles included were either cross-sectional, cohort, case-control or qualitative studies which were published between the year 1990 till present. Excluded articles were the non-English written articles, descriptive studies and irrelevant topics being studied. Results: Out of 2617 records identified and screened, six were included for the analysis and interpretation of the data. All included studies were cross-sectional study design. All six studies reported having family members who chewed khat significantly predict khat chewing among adolescents, followed by five articles for friends or peers who also chewed khat and four articles for male gender. Smoking was also found to have the highest odds (OR = 18.2; 95% CI: 12.95-25.72) for khat chewing among adolescents. Conclusion: The review highlights the crucial role of family members, friends or peers and male gender to predict khat chewing among adolescents. Effectiveness of health promotion programs to educate and reduce khat chewing among adolescents will require active participation of family members and friends.
