Matlamat kajian ini adalah untuk melihat keberkesanan kajian-kajian lepas yang berkaitan dengan rawatan dan pemulihan yang dijalankan di bawah pusat yang dikelola oleh AADK. Kajian ini melibatkan lapan kajian kuantitatif dan empat belas kajian kualitatif. Pengkaji telah mengumpulkan kajian-kajian lepas yang berada dalam simpanan AADK dan juga yang berada di beberapa Institusi Pengajian Tinggi di Malaysia. Program rawatan dan pemulihan yang dikumpulkan telah dibahagikan kepada beberapa tema iaitu rawatan dengan pendekatan keagamaan, komuniti terapeutik, Cure and Care Rehabilitation Center dan pendekatan lain-lain. Kajian berbentuk kuantitatif telah dianalisis menggunakan perisian Stata untuk mengenalpasti keberkesanan rawatan pemulihan yang dikaji oleh pengkaji-pengkaji terdahulu. Kajian kualitatif pula dikumpulkan untuk menjadi sokongan kepada hasil meta-analisis data-data daripada kajian kuantitatif. Kajian kuantitatif yang dianalisis menggunakan meta-analisis diklasifikasikan kepada dua jenis analisis iaitu analisis selanjar dan analisis binari. Tahap keberkesanan rawatan bagi setiap kajian diukur daripada penganggaran effect size (ES) dengan menggunakan Cohen’s d bagi analisis selanjar dan nilai RR bagi analisis binari. Analisis binari pada keseluruhannya menunjukkan data-data tahap heterogeneous yang tinggi, manakala analisis selanjar pula didapati homogeneous. Di akhir kajian ini, pengkaji mendapati bahawa hasil dapatan kualitatif tidak dapat menyokong keputusan kajian-kajian kuantitatif disebabkan hasil dapatan kajian adalah berbeza-beza antara satu sama lain dan terlalu abstrak. Cadangan-cadangan yang dikemukakan diharapkan dapat membantu dalam penambahbaikan kajian keberkesanan serta pelaksanaan program rawatan pemulihan pada masa akan datang.

Kajian penyelidikan Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) ini adalah satu kajian yang berbentuk ‘ex post facto’ dan bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti unsure-unsur agama yang terdapat dalam program latihan PLKN, beserta pendekatan dan perlaksanaannya dalam program. Kajian juga dijalankan untuk mendapatkan pandangan-pandangan daripada pelatih dan jurulatih berkenaan hal ini. Kajian ini berbentuk deskriptif ini melibatkan 344 responden yang terdiri daripada para pelatih dan jurulatih program latihan PLKN seri ketiga di sekitar Lembah Klang (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Melaya, Univbersiti Putra Malaysia, dan Universiti Teknologi MARA). Hasil kajian ini pula diperolehi melalui kajian soal selidik berstruktur dan tidak berstruktur yang telah diedarkan di kem-kem latihan PLKN dan analisis menggunakan perisian Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) dengan menggunakan kaedah deskreptif (kekerapan dan peratusan). Dapatan kajian mendapatibahawa penerapan dan pendekatan agama yang telah diterapkan dalam program PLKN masih belum menyeluruh dan mencukupi berdasarkan situasi masyarakat Malaysia yang multi-religious, multi-recial dan multi-culture. Mejoriti responden telah bersetuju dengan peranan agama dalam modul yang berupaya menjadi catalyst kepada pembinaan nilai-nilai positif dalam diri peserta terhadap keluarga, masyarakat dan Negara. Selain itu, kajian juga mendapati bahawa terdapat keperluan untuk memperincikan pendekatan dan pelaksanaan aspek agama dalam progam untuk pembinaan satu nucleus yang konstruktif kepada pembinaan Negara Malaysia yang bertamadun dan harmoni.

Drug cases among teenagers are on the rise from year to year. Their involvement is said to be due to many risk factors, and one of them is the risk factor of peer influences. Many efforts were implemented by the government and authorities to treat the issues of drug abusers, including providing treatment and rehabilitation services. However, the tendency to remain abstinent may be different based on the risk factors, types of clients, and conditions of the clients. Therefore, this paper is undertaken to identify the comparison in peer influence risk factors between four groups which are voluntary clients, non-voluntary clients, clients who underwent the treatment at the center, and clients after undergoing the treatment at the center in the tendency to remain abstinence. Besides, this paper is undertaken to explore the risk factor of peer influences to relapse in drug problems. A comparison study with a mixed-method design involving qualitative and quantitative methods has been adopted in this study. The study participants were recruited based on purposive sampling technique and 24 private treatment centers were involved in this study. A mixed triangulation method was implemented for data collection of quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires and the Stage of Change Scale (SoCS) while qualitative data were collected through interviews and using semi-structured questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize and describe the study’s findings. T-test was conducted to identify the differences of viewpoints between voluntary and non-voluntary clients and meanwhile, the qualitative data were analyzed by theme. Four hypotheses were tested and hypothesis 1 was accepted. The finding from the hypothesis 1 revealed that there are significant differences for peer influences risk factors based on non-voluntary and voluntary clients who are still undergoing treatment at the center. Non-voluntary clients, who are still undergoing treatment are reported more affected by the risk of peer influences to remain abstinent than voluntary clients. Meanwhile, the findings from the interview revealed that peer influence factors became a motivator for relapse in drug issues among voluntary clients, non-voluntary clients, clients who are still undergoing treatment at the center, and clients after undergoing the treatment at the center. Hence, it showed that peer influence was a significant risk factor for voluntary and non-voluntary clients to remain abstinent and relapse in drug issues. The further researchers proposed the study on the develops support module for parents in managing children who are involved in drug abuse so that they can remain abstinent.

This study was carried out to developed a tool to measure the profile of a da'i. A few data collection techniques were employed to collect data from various sources namely, library research, the printed and electronic mass media and the experts in the field. Based on the data collected, the tool was developed. The tool was constructed based on Five primary concepts; "akhlak" or moral, knowledge and academic qualification, professional skills, leadership qualities and physical appearance. Each concept was developed based on a few specific sub-constructs. The construct of confidence, patience, honesty, passion, tawadduk, guiding and assistance made up the concept of moral. As for professional skills, the concept was built upon the construct of language of proficiency, ICT skills, psychological aspect, dakwah methodology and understanding of dakwah target. Leadership qualities can be evaluated through the ability to lead oneself, family and the community. 162 items were developed for the tools. Validity and realibility tests were carried out. Five psychological conselling experts were consulted to test the validity of the instrument.1t was confiremd by the experts that the tool has the validity of .7 while improvements were also done as recommended. For the purposes of proving the realibility of the study, 56 dai's were selected through stratified random sampling to test the realibility of the instrument. The findings revealed that the realibility coefficents for the component of confidence is ,8936, .7966 for passion, .7594 for tawadduk, .7579 for honesty, and .9526 for the ability of understanding dakwah target while the effort to assist scored .7526 of the realibility value, and .9000 for communication skills, 3656 for ICT competency, 3025 for dakwah methodology, .73 17 for psychological skills and .8658 for language proficiency. Finally, the academic qualification construct claimed .6975 of realibility coefficiency value. The overall realibility coefficients score for UPP KUIM was very high which is .9678. A manual for the UPP KUIM was developed for users of the tool which later published in a form of a compact disc (CD).
