Abstract

This study focuses on issues related to the mental well-being of Asnaf students at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). Some indications of this issue such as financial burden, insufficient study facilities, increased cost of living and the dynamics of social interaction of them seem to give an impression of the quality or level of their mental well-being. Therefore, this study attemps to explore mental well-being problems among Asnaf students at UUM; and (ii) identify recommendations/measures to overcome mental well-being problems. Quantitative studies were conducted involving a total of 120 students. Some aspects like the issue of isolation from family and friends, unmet living needs and the problem of unstable sibling relationships (between family members and parents) at home can be attributed to mental wellbeing of Asnaf students. A discussion about the implications of mental wellbeing has been elaborated such as the role of family relationship, support from family members, and positive perspective on digital technology as possible ways to improve their mental well-being
