摘要

马来西亚近年来身心健康议题，开始受到国人的看重，尤其最近这几年，青少年自杀的新闻越来越频繁，马来西亚警方数据显示，2019年至2021年的自杀事件中，将近一半的自杀事件是来自15岁至18岁的青少年，而这些年龄的青少年，往往都还处于就学阶段，再者2015年及2017年马来西亚全国健康及疾病调查，发现华裔的心理健康问题在三大种族中是比例最高的，华裔自杀行为议题的比例则是第二高的（仅次于印度裔），由此可见华裔青少年的心理健康是我们不能忽视的重要议题，尤其作为华裔学生众多的华文独立中学（简称华文独中），对于学生的身心健康状况是应当更为关注。

为了能帮助学校更了解华文独中生身心健康状况，研究者将自己所编制的《马来西亚华文独中生生活适应量表（MCISS-LAS）》进一步探究马来西亚华文独中生生活适应状况及再次施测，让华文独中能有所依据，建立出更完善的学校辅导机制，以及提升量表的信效度；本研究针对全国北中南东马地区7所华文独中进行调查，并针对不同部别中的性别、年级及地理位置进行分析，研究结果让学校参考，学校能参考研究结果，建立及调整更适合华文独中生的辅导课程或相关活动，让华文独中生能带着更健全的身心状况来完成学业。

Abstract

In recent years, issues related to physical and mental health have garnered increasing attention in Malaysia. This is particularly true concerning adolescents, as reports of youth suicides have become alarmingly frequent. According to data from the Malaysian police, nearly half of the suicide cases from 2019 to 2021 involved adolescents aged 15 to 18, many of whom were still in school. Furthermore, the 2015 and 2017 National Health and Morbidity Surveys in Malaysia revealed that among the three main ethnic groups, Chinese Malaysians have the highest proportion of mental health issues, and the second-highest rate of suicide-related behaviors (following the Indian community). These findings highlight the critical importance of addressing the mental health of Chinese Malaysian adolescents. This is especially relevant for Chinese Independent High Schools, where the majority of students are ethnically Chinese. Schools should pay closer attention to their students’ physical and mental well-being.

To better understand the physical and mental health status of students in Chinese Independent High Schools, the researchers further examined the Life Adaptation Scale for Malaysia Chinese Independent High School Students (MCIHS-LAS) and conducted follow-up studies on life adaptation status. The study aimed to provide schools with data-driven insights to enhance counseling mechanisms and improve the reliability and validity of the scale. The research involved surveys conducted at seven Chinese Independent High Schools across northern, central, southern, and eastern Malaysia. The analysis included comparisons based on gender, grade levels, and geographic locations. The findings serve as a reference for schools, enabling them to design or modify counseling programs and related activities that are more suited to the needs of Chinese Independent High School students. Ultimately, the goal is to support students in completing their education with better physical and mental well-being.
