Abstract
This research aims to develop a psychoeducational module to empower B40 youth’s resilience and family functioning. There were three phases implemented in this study: (1) needs analysis, (2) module design and development study and (3) experimental pre-and-post design for module evaluation. First, the Brief Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB), the Malaysian Family Functioning Scale (MFFS), and the Resilience Scale (RS) were used to collect data from 315 youths from the B40 families in various settings such as schools, higher education institutions and PPR/PPRT flats/communities. Results revealed the need for a psychoeducational module to empower youth’s resilience and family functioning. The development of the psychoeducational module adopted Sidek’s model, a Malaysian-based framework for module content development. The module prototype was sent to 11 experts to validate its content. Results showed that the psychoeducational module scored a high content validity value of 89.87%. Finally, the psychoeducational module was implemented and evaluated for its effectiveness before and after a 2-day-1-night programme on youth empowerment. Results revealed that the module effectively empowers the youth's resilience and family functioning. Implications of research for counselling practices are included in the discussion.
