Beyond baby blues: a campaign to raise awareness on postpartum depression among mothers in Singapore
No full textWhile postpartum depression (PPD) affects around 15% of mothers in Singapore, the knowledge levels are still low and highly stigmatised in Singapore. Beyond Baby Blues, a health communications campaign, aims to empower postnatal Singaporean mothers within one year of childbirth in recognising PPD symptoms and seeking help early. Guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), the campaign is centered on enhancing knowledge of PPD, encouraging positive attitudes towards seeking help, and nudging those who are facing PPD symptoms to seek help, whether with professionals or their loved ones. Qualitative data from focus group discussions were collected to determine their current levels of knowledge, perceived severity and susceptibility, benefits, barriers and self-efficacy regarding seeking help to formulate the campaign’s strategy. Key findings point to the need for filling knowledge gaps regarding PPD, and to address barriers that lower a mother’s confidence in seeking PPD help resources. These structured the campaign’s content pillars of Educate, Community and Inspire. Key tactics include presence on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Telegram, an interactive map, ‘Garden of Support’, for mothers to confide or share support with others, distribution of mummy guidebooks and a self-care art workshop to encourage them to take small steps in prioritising themselves. The campaign was evaluated through a quantitative post-campaign survey and the impact and output objectives were evaluated, which concluded limited effectiveness toward attitudinal and behavioural changes. The paper concludes with the campaign’s novelty and limitations and recommendations for future initiatives aimed at addressing PPD among Singaporeans.Bachelor's degre
Determinants of exchange rate volatility in Asian countries
No full textThe intention of this research is to determine the relationship between the exchange rate volatility and the independent variables which includes unemployment rate, consumer price index, foreign direct investment, interest rate and terms of trade in Asian countries. Secondary data is the sourced data used within the period of year 2007 to 2016 which data obtained from the World Bank Data sources. On the other hand, the techniques that implemented to estimate the model was the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The result shows that the exchange rate volatility was being influenced by the unemployment rate, consumer price index, foreign direct investment, interest rate and terms of trade. However, the results show it has a direct and statistically significant relationship but there is an insignificant relationship and mix result between the exchange rate volatility and the independents variables. In addition, a diagnostic checking is conducted by using the E-view 11 software to run out the collected data within 10 years in 5 different Asian countries. According to the literature review, the researcher studies shows different results which includes positively and significant relationship, negatively and insignificant relationship as well as mix result between the exchange rate volatility and independent variables. Although this research experienced and occurred some limitation, hence the recommendation has been suggested to enhance for the future researchers
