Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected everyone and stress-related mental health issues affect young people more than other groups, including marginalised populations. As a result of this pandemic, society is being urged to examine indigenous psychological resilience, especially among Orang Asli (OA) communities in Malaysia. Hence, this study aims to identify factors associated with psychological resilience among OA youths of Kampung Orang Asli (KOA) in Gombak during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A cross-sectional study comprising OA communities was conducted between January 2022 and September 2022 in the Gombak District, Selangor. A self-administered online questionnaire using Google Forms and a self-administered printed questionnaire was used to collect data from youths aged 18 years old-24 years old. The Malay version of Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25) was used to assess psychological resilience. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 28.0, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associated factors and their significance level.
A total of 158 participants were involved in this study. The mean score for psychological resilience was estimated at 69.28 (SD = 14.52). The social relationships domain recorded the highest mean score for quality of life (71.54, SD = 13.72). Meanwhile, the total mean score for self-esteem fell into the high-level category (35.77, SD = 4.94), and the domain of relationship and family dynamics under family environment scored the highest mean score of 18.83 (SD = 2.89). Psychological resilience was associated with youths of KOA Batu 12 ( = -14.274, < 0.05), KOA Ulu Batu ( = -17.789, < 0.05), less than four siblings ( = -6.495, < 0.05), owner of residential property ( = -7.543, < 0.05), high self-esteem ( = 0.612, < 0.05) and good relationship and family dynamic ( = 1.391, < 0.05).
Developing interventions aimed at psychological resilience determinants may assist OA youths in coping with future threats.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）影响了每个人，与压力相关的心理健康问题对年轻人的影响比对其他群体的影响更大，包括边缘化人群。由于这场大流行，社会被敦促审视本土心理韧性，尤其是马来西亚原住民（OA）社区的心理韧性。因此，本研究旨在确定在COVID-19大流行期间，哥打白沙罗甘榜原住民（KOA）的OA青年中与心理韧性相关的因素。
2022年1月至2022年9月在雪兰莪州哥打白沙罗地区对OA社区进行了一项横断面研究。使用谷歌表单的自填式在线问卷和自填式纸质问卷从18岁至24岁的青年中收集数据。采用马来语版的康纳-戴维森韧性量表-25（CD-RISC-25）来评估心理韧性。使用SPSS 28.0版进行数据分析，并进行多元线性回归分析以评估相关因素及其显著性水平。
共有158名参与者参与了本研究。心理韧性的平均得分估计为69.28（标准差=14.52）。社会关系领域的生活质量平均得分最高（71.54，标准差=13.72）。同时，自尊的总平均得分属于高水平类别（35.77，标准差=4.94），家庭环境下的关系和家庭动态领域的平均得分最高，为18.83（标准差=2.89）。心理韧性与哥打白沙罗峇都12村的OA青年（=-14.274，<0.05）、乌鲁峇都村的OA青年（=-17.789，<0.05）、兄弟姐妹少于四人（=-6.495，<0.05）、住宅物业所有者（=-7.543，<0.05）、高自尊（=0.612，<0.05）以及良好的关系和家庭动态（=1.391，<0.05）相关。
制定针对心理韧性决定因素的干预措施可能有助于OA青年应对未来的威胁。
