VOKAMIND: Pembangunan dan Penerimaan Pengguna terhadap Platform Digital Kesedaran Kesihatan Mental dalam Kalangan Pelajar Kolej Vokasional

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is receiving growing attention, yet the mental health literacy of vocational college students in Malaysia remains under-researched. This action research reports the development of VOKAMIND, a Google Sites digital platform that consolidates psychoeducational materials, emotion regulation techniques, an E-Luahan disclosure space, an E-Temujanji counselling appointment system and support helplines within a single integrated medium, and reports the level of user acceptance of that platform. The platform was developed by the Psychology and Career Unit of Kolej Vokasional Sungai Buloh following the five phases of the ADDIE model, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. User acceptance was assessed through an online feedback form completed by 20 students using a five-point Likert scale across seven aspects of the platform. Data were analysed descriptively using frequencies, percentages and means, with the low, moderate and high interpretation ranges stated explicitly. Overall acceptance was high, with a mean of 3.84 out of 5.00. Awareness of the importance of mental health care, reduced stigma toward counselling help and accuracy of information recorded the highest scores, whereas the display and layout of the website recorded the lowest score and remained within the moderate range. The study reports user perceptions rather than actual effects on mental health literacy, as neither pre-post measurement nor a control group was used. Within those limits, VOKAMIND shows promise as a digital psychoeducation medium that could be extended to other TVET institutions, with interface design and data privacy assurance as the priorities for improvement.

Abstrak: Isu kesihatan mental dalam kalangan remaja semakin mendapat perhatian, namun literasi kesihatan mental pelajar kolej vokasional di Malaysia masih kurang dikaji. Kajian tindakan ini melaporkan pembangunan VOKAMIND, sebuah platform digital berasaskan Google Sites yang menghimpunkan bahan psikopendidikan, teknik pengurusan emosi, ruang E-Luahan, sistem E-Temujanji kaunseling dan talian sokongan dalam satu medium bersepadu, serta melaporkan tahap penerimaan pengguna terhadap platform tersebut. Platform dibangunkan oleh Unit Psikologi dan Kerjaya Kolej Vokasional Sungai Buloh mengikut lima fasa Model ADDIE, iaitu Analisis, Reka Bentuk, Pembangunan, Pelaksanaan dan Penilaian. Penerimaan pengguna dinilai melalui borang maklum balas dalam talian yang dijawab oleh 20 orang pelajar menggunakan skala Likert lima mata bagi tujuh aspek platform. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan kekerapan, peratusan dan min, dengan julat interpretasi rendah, sederhana dan tinggi dinyatakan secara eksplisit. Dapatan menunjukkan penerimaan keseluruhan berada pada tahap tinggi dengan min 3.84 daripada 5.00. Aspek kesedaran kepentingan penjagaan kesihatan mental, pengurangan stigma terhadap bantuan kaunseling dan ketepatan maklumat mencatat skor tertinggi, manakala aspek paparan dan susun atur laman web mencatat skor terendah dan kekal dalam julat sederhana. Kajian ini melaporkan persepsi pengguna dan bukan kesan sebenar terhadap literasi kesihatan mental, kerana tiada ukuran pra dan pasca mahupun kumpulan kawalan digunakan. Dalam batasan tersebut, VOKAMIND menunjukkan potensi sebagai medium psikopendidikan digital yang boleh diperluaskan ke institusi TVET lain, dengan keutamaan penambahbaikan pada reka bentuk antara muka dan jaminan privasi data.
