This study discovered challenging of the anti-smoking campaign from the perspective of healthcare providers in Kuantan. The objectives of this study were to explore the challenges of the anti-smoking campaign from healthcare providers’ views, to explore the awareness regarding the existence of Smoking Cessation Clinics and to explore the ways to improve anti-smoking campaigns. This study is important because it may aid Malaysian authorities to develop better strategies in promoting anti-smoking campaigns in the future. Purposive sampling was used in the collection of data and semi-structured interviews were conducted among five healthcare providers from three selected Smoking Cessation Clinics. This study found that healthcare provider felt that smokers who received treatment from the Health Centre had low understanding of the standard of procedure of smoking cessation procedure, low commitment and easily influenced by the public. Healthcare provider also felt that multidisciplinary task limited their focus to the client. Besides, they felt that the existence of smoking Cessation Clinic needs to be widely publicised to the community. Through the findings, the author recommend to improve the current approaches to reduce the number of smokers in Malaysia such as improving publicity to the public, enhancing the law of enforcement and providing incentives.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in the elderly population, with a significant impact on quality of life. This study aimed to explore the relationship between personality traits and quality of life in an elderly population with diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center. Outpatients above 60 years old with a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited. Sociodemographic and clinical information were obtained. Quality of life was assessed using the WHO Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire and personality traits were assessed using the Big Five Inventory questionnaire. Depression and anxiety were measured with Beck Depression Inventory and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale respectively and controlled for in statistical analyses. Results: There were 170 study participants (median age=69.0 years; IQR: 65.0-73.0; 51.2% male). In stepwise linear regression models, higher conscientiousness scores (β=0.156; p=0.044) and lower neuroticism scores (β=-0.176; p=0.028) were associated with greater quality of life in the physical health domain. Higher extraversion scores (β=0.209; p=0.001) and higher conscientiousness scores (β=0.248; p<0.001) were associated with greater quality of life in the psychological health domain. Higher agreeableness scores (β=0.286; p<0.001) were associated with greater quality of life in the social relationship domain. Finally, higher agreeableness scores (β=0.327; p<0.001) and lower neuroticism scores (β=-0.223; p=0.001) were associated with greater quality of life in the environment domain. Conclusions: Personality traits were closely associated with all domains of quality of life among elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Premorbid personality may have important role in moderating the impact of diabetes mellitus on the lives of elderly patients.

Among diabetic patients, fasting is associated with increased risk of ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia and dehydration. Previous randomised controlled trials and prospective studies have shown that intensive pre-Ramadan education on fasting is able to help patients fast successfully during Ramadan. At the same time, observational studies show that many diabetic patients are still able to fast successfully throughout Ramadan despite deficiencies in knowledge about fasting practices. We conducted a retrospective recall study in Klinik Kesihatan Jalan Perak, Penang to determine the factors associated with successful fasting. Patients were selected using convenience sampling. Successful fasting was defined as a patient fasted as intended, and not having to break-fast due to hypo/ hyperglycaemia symptoms or hospitalization due to diabetic complications. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine independent factors associated with successful fasting. 113 patients were enrolled. 70.9% (n=80) of patients were able to fast successfully. Knowing the name of their diabetic medications were significantly associated with successful fasting (AOR=8.56, 95%CI: 2.04;35.8, p=0.003). Knowledge and fasting practices were not associated with successful fasting. We may identify patients who might not fast successfully by evaluating their understanding of their diabetic medications. They can then be targeted for further pre-Ramadan counselling. Nonetheless, an intensive pre-Ramadan counselling is still optimal if resources are available. Keyword: diabetes, fasting, knowledge patients for safe fasting. Although Ramadan fasting is one of the five Pillars of Islamic teaching (Al-Bakarah n.d.), teaching in Quran exempts the practice for individuals who might be exposed to ill health if fasting is practiced. Acute DM complication risks can be minimised if patient’s DM controlled is satisfactory. However, many high-risk type 2 DM patients (56.6% to 93.4%) still chose to fast due to strong personal beliefs (Babineaux et al. 2015; Tan et al. 2018). Based on observational studies, 54.6% to 64 % of type 2 DM patients were able to fast every day during Ramadan (Babineaux INTRODUCTION Fasting during Ramadhan requires careful adjustment of treatment and lifestyle during Ramadhan. This is because it poses a risk of acute diabetes mellitus (DM) complications among DM patients. The risks include ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia and dehydration (Ministry of Health Malaysia (a) 2015; Ministry of Health Malaysia (c) 2014; International Diabetes Federation and the DAR International Alliance 2016; Mohd Fazrul & Tan 2018).

在糖尿病患者中，禁食与酮症酸中毒、低血糖和脱水的风险增加有关。以前的随机对照试验和前瞻性研究表明，在斋月前进行密集的禁食教育能够帮助患者在斋月期间成功禁食。与此同时，观察性研究表明，许多糖尿病患者在斋月期间仍然能够成功地禁食，尽管他们缺乏关于禁食的知识。我们在槟城的Klinik Kesihatan Jalan Perak进行了回顾性回忆研究，以确定与成功禁食相关的因素。采用方便抽样方法选择患者。成功禁食被定义为患者按照预期禁食，并且由于低血糖/高血糖症状或由于糖尿病并发症住院而不必吃早餐。采用多元逻辑回归确定与成功禁食相关的独立因素。113例患者入组。70.9% (n=80)的患者能够成功禁食。知晓糖尿病药物名称与空腹成功相关(AOR=8.56, 95%CI: 2.04;35.8, p=0.003)。知识和禁食实践与成功的禁食无关。我们可以通过评估患者对糖尿病药物的理解来确定他们可能无法成功禁食。然后，他们可以成为斋月前进一步咨询的目标。尽管如此，如果资源充足，斋月前的密集咨询仍然是最佳选择。关键词:糖尿病，禁食，患者安全禁食知识。虽然斋月斋戒是伊斯兰教义的五大支柱之一(Al-Bakarah n.d.)，但古兰经的教义免除了个人的斋戒，因为如果实行斋戒，可能会导致健康不佳。如果患者的糖尿病控制良好，急性糖尿病并发症的风险可以降到最低。然而，由于强烈的个人信念，许多高危2型糖尿病患者(56.6% - 93.4%)仍然选择禁食(Babineaux et al. 2015;Tan et al. 2018)。根据观察性研究，54.6%至64%的2型糖尿病患者能够在斋月期间每天禁食(Babineaux介绍)，斋月期间禁食需要仔细调整治疗和生活方式。这是因为它给糖尿病患者带来了急性糖尿病(DM)并发症的风险。风险包括酮症酸中毒、低血糖和脱水(马来西亚卫生部(a) 2015年;马来西亚卫生部(c) 2014;2016年国际糖尿病联合会和DAR国际联盟;Mohd Fazrul & Tan 2018)。许多研究表明制备不足
