“…Better mental health was also significantly and positively associated with the ability to drive a car ( p 0.000, 95% CI 0.993, 1.315). As expected, the greater the number of dependents, the more likely older adults were to have lower levels of mental well-being ( p 0.003, 95% CI −0.060, −0.012); the literature suggests that the number of owned children in the family is frequently the source of anxiety and stress [ 75 ], which may affect mental health. Additionally, homeownership ( p 0.000, 95% CI −0.602, −0.271) was significantly related to older adults’ mental health status, but the relationship was negative.…”

In Malaysia, the population of older adults will increase in the coming years. In this context, there is a requirement to build an age-friendly environment to enable the elderly to age healthily. Many studies have shown that a built environment that allows older adults to age in place improves their mental health. However, person-environment analysis that considers mental well-being has remained rare for older adults living in Malaysia. This study examines the relationship between Malaysian seniors’ perceptions of their surroundings at home and in the neighborhood and their mental health. Using stratified sampling, 510 seniors aged 60 and over were interviewed. The results showed that accessibility (p-value 0.033, 95% CI for coefficients 0.006, 0.146), environmental qualities (0.015, 0.014, 0.129) and neighborhood problems (0.000, −0.299, −0.146) were significant determinants of elderly people’s mental health. With respect to respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics, female elderly (0.000, 0.616, 0.782), older adults with an elementary education (0.000, 0.263, 0.685) or a college degree (0.026, 0.019, 0.294), being married (0.005, 0.047, 0.259), the ability to drive (0.000, 0.993, 1.315), the number of dependents in the family (0.003, −0.060, −0.012), and homeownership (0.000, −0.602, −0.271) were significantly related to mental well-being.

“…Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pendapatan keluarga dengan tingkat stres, keluarga dengan pendapatan lebih rendah cenderung memiliki stres yang tinggi (Silva, Cunha, Ramos, Pontes, & Silva, 2019). Studi lain menunjukkan bahwa ibu dengan pendapatan yang rendah cenderung memiliki tingkat stres pengasuhan yang lebih tinggi (Qian, Mei, Tian, & Dou, 2021). Li et al (2005dalam Qian, Mei, Tian, & Dou, 2021 menyatakan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat pendidikan orang tua maka akan semakin rendah stres pengasuhan yang dialami.…”

“…Regarding family structure, parents with more than two kids undoubtedly have to pay more time and energy to meet the extra parenting demands. A recent study in China indicated that mothers from two-kids families had higher parenting stress than their one-child counterparts ( 23 ), while Krieg ( 24 ) found that mothers in both one-child and two-child families reported equivalent levels of stress. Besides, age interval between siblings also accounts.…”

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused numerous unexpected changes for families and societies, which have likely contributed to higher amounts of stress for most parents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between burnout and mental health among parents during the COVID-19. Pandemic exposure and household factors (e.g., family structure, family function) were examined as moderators. An online cross-sectional survey recruiting 1,209 adults was conducted from April 21st to April 28th, 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown in China. The multivariable linear regression analysis was employed to test the association between burnout, household factors, and mental health among parents. Findings suggested that for parents with a young child, poorer mental health was related to a higher level of burnout (β = 0.220, P < 0.001) and greater exposure to the pandemic. Mothers of a single and/or young child had considerably poorer mental health. Moreover, the relationship between mental health and burnout among parents was significantly moderated by epidemic exposure (β = 2.561, P < 0.001), family structure (number of children: β = −1.257, P < 0.001; first child age: β=-1.116, P < 0.001) and family function (β = −0.574, P < 0.05). This study indicated that burnout symptoms were significantly associated with worse mental health among parents in China. Besides, exposure to the pandemic, family structure, and family function was found to moderate the association between burnout and mental health among parents. Therefore, the present study stressed enhanced access to mental health resources and emotional supports for parents during a public crisis to reduce the deleterious effects of burnout.
