| dc.description.abstract | The Covid-19 pandemic has wrought havoc on Malaysia’s population and the entire world, causing mental health to decline. In particular, the low-income group among the population are heavily affected, which has affected their mental health. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the impact of sociodemographic, social stressors, job insecurity and coping strategies on mental health among 313 B40 Malaysian respondents of urban community. This study used three sets of questionnaires: The Job Insecurity Scale Questionnaire, the Brief Resilient Coping Scale and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Analysis shows a significant difference between age, monthly income, community function and family function with mental health status. Nevertheless, no significant difference exists between gender and job type with mental health status. Moreover, workload and job insecurity have a significant negative linear relationship with mental health status. Lastly, coping strategies have a significant positive relationship with mental health; better coping strategies contribute to high mental health status. Therefore, programs, interventions and improvements shall be organized by the government, communities, counsellors and psychologists to improve the mental health status among B40 residents in Malaysia.
