Kajian Systematic Literature Review (SLR) Tentang Kesihatan Mental Di Malaysia Semasa Pandemik Covid-19

Mental health can affect a person’s physical health, quality of life and productivity. However, the increase of mental health issues among the community in Malaysia today is at an alarming level. Furthermore, the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 has changed the normal lives of human beings and has the potential to be a factor influencing mental health, especially among the people in this country. This study aims to look at the themes of the study and discussion of mental health issues in Malaysia during the Covid-19 outbreak. This systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using articles starting from 2019-2021 as of three databases namely Researchgate, Google Scholar and Science Direct. The articles that have been collected are then scrutinized to ensure that the selected articles fit the focus of the study. A total of 24 out of 81 articles were selected for discussion in this study. Overall, the study shows that there are four themes that can be classified with respect to the themes of previous studies on mental health issues in Malaysia. The themes are; 1) mental health treatment, 2) mental health and pandemics, 3) mental health and demographic factors and 4) mental health and education. Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive studies such as studies on the development of Islamic models for family resilience in dealing with mental health symptoms so that mental health problems can be identified and action taken in prompt.
