Kompetensi Kaunseling Multibudaya Guru Bimbingan Dan Kaunseling Sekolah Terhadap Murid Berkeperluan Khas

Perkhidmatan bimbingan dan kaunseling terhadap Murid Berkeperluan Khas (MBK) di Sekolah Integrasi didapati kurang difokuskan oleh Guru Bimbingan dan Kaunseling Sekolah (GBKS). Hal ini disebabkan kekurangan kompetensi kaunseling multibudaya dalam kalangan GBKS terhadap klien yang mempunyai perbezaan budaya. Isu kompetensi kaunseling multibudaya ini merangkumi tiga aspek iaitu Kesedaran, Pengetahuan dan Kemahiran. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mendalami penglibatan GBKS terhadap MBK dan meneroka elemen dalam kompetensi kaunseling multibudaya. Kajian ini dijalankan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif Straussian-Grounded Theory dan menggunakan perisian ATLAS.ti dalam proses menganalisis data

Intervention and treatment for substance use disorder: An overview in Malaysia

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are patterns of maladaptive use of psychoactive drugs that lead to significant levels of impaired functioning or personal distress. SUD often result in not only serious harm to the health of the individuals, but also enormous financial and social consequences that go beyond the health care system such as loss of economic productivity due to withdrawal from the workplace and increased rates of crime, injury, disability and death. Individuals who experience a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) may also experience a dual diagnosis or co-occurring mental disorder such as anxiety, psychosis, depression and others. A dual diagnosis presents a challenging problem to mental health workers and service planners as Substance Use Disorders (SUD) occurring together with mental health disorders represent a major health problem. SUD is also a heavy burden for the government because it needs a lot of enforcement from the authorities and drains available health care resources. Moreover, the intervention and treatment of SUD is a complex, multidimensional, and long-term endeavor that often requires specialized care tailored to the substance and the severity of the pattern of use. Therefore this paper aims to discuss an overview of SUD and it also cover the contributory factors of SUD and intervention or treatment modalities available for its management in Malaysia

Keterlibatan dan cabaran Guru Bimbingan dan Kaunseling Sekolah terhadap Murid Berkeperluan Khas

Perlaksanaan perkhidmatan bimbingan dan kaunseling di sekolah memerlukan Guru Bimbingan dan Kaunseling Sekolah (GBKS) bertindak untuk memberikan perkhidmatan tersebut kepada semua pelajar, sama ada pelajar aliran perdana mahupun Murid Berkeperluan Khas (MBK), seperti mana yang telah digariskan dalam Buku Rekod Perkhidmatan Bimbingan dan Kaunseling. Situasi ini telah memberikan cabaran kepada GBKS terutama dalam memenuhi keperluan khusus MBK. Perkara ini menimbulkan persoalan berkaitan dengan keterlibatan GBKS dalam menyediakan perkhidmatan bimbingan dan kaunseling khususnya kepada MBK serta cabaran yang dilalui dalam melaksanakan perkhidmatan ini. Oleh itu, sebuah kajian berbentuk kualitatif telah dilaksanakan untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut. Kajian ini melibatkan enam orang GBKS yang berkhidmat di sekolah yang mengamalkan Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi atau Program Pendidikan Inklusif. Soalan temubual berbentuk separa berstruktur telah digunakan untuk mendapatkan maklumat berkaitan. Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa keterlibatan GBKS terhadap MBK berlaku secara langsung dan tidak langsung. Manakala cabaran yang dilalui GBKS dalam melaksanakan perkhidmatan bimbingan dan kaunseling dibahagikan kepada tiga tema, iaitu cabaran bercirikan GBKS, cabaran bercirikan MBK dan cabaran bercirikan Organisasi. Perolehan dapatan kajian ini dapat menyumbang maklumat mengenai pelaksanaan perkhidmatan bimbingan dan kaunseling kepada MBK, seterusnya digunakan sebagai penambahbaikan garis panduan yang sedia ada bagi meningkatkan keterlibatan

Hubungan efikasi kendiri kaunseling dan kompetensi kaunseling spiritual dalam kalangan kaunselor pelatih Universiti Malaysia Sabah

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti hubungan di antara efikasi kendiri kaunseling dan kompetensi kaunseling spiritual dalam kalangan kaunselor pelatih. Efikasi kendiri kaunseling dipilih sebagai salah satu faktor atas cadangan para pengkaji yang lain.
