Abstract: This qualitative study explored Malaysian caregivers' experiences when caring for people with Parkinson disease (PD). Semistructured interviews (n = 10) were conducted, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four major themes and 9 subthemes emerged from the challenges faced by these caregivers. The 4 themes were “communication challenges,” “coping with communication challenges,” “becoming more dependent,” and “reduction in social participation.” Caregivers often demonstrated poor knowledge of PD and reported communication, physical, and psychosocial impacts affecting both them and the person with PD. To ensure the well-being of both caregivers and dependents with PD, the communication and social participation needs of caregivers and dependents should be considered during assessment and the planning of intervention.

Abstract: This study aims to: (a) measure public attitudes toward stuttering in Malaysia using the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attitudes-Stuttering [POSHA-S], (b) determine how reported attitudes and knowledge related to stuttering compare to existing data, and (c) determine whether there are differences between groups for identified variables. A total of 250 adults (mean age = 29 years range = 19-60 years) completed the POSHA-S in English. We compared this s le's attitudes toward stuttering to POSHA-S data from other global s les. General linear modeling examined differences in overall stuttering score, beliefs, and self reaction subscores for demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status, parenting, education, employment status, prior exposure to a person who stutters, multilingual, race, and religion. The Malaysian participants' overall stuttering score and the beliefs and self reactions subscores were all considerably lower (i.e., less positive) than the other s les around the world from the POSHA-S database median values. Being male, receiving a higher education, and knowing someone who stutters were linked to having more positive self reactions, but none of those factors was linked to positive or negative beliefs. Those who had previously been exposed to stuttering scored significantly higher than those who had not. Malaysians may have less positive attitudes toward stuttering than Westerners. More needs to be done to make society more accepting of people who stutter. Future research should aim to find ways to educate and to raise public awareness about stuttering.
