Kertas ini bertujuan untuk melihat sama ada wujudnya hubungan di antara jenis personaliti dengan tahap kesihatan mental bekas banduan di Malaysia. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan kaedah survei ke atas 250 orang responden. Dua instrumen digunakan dalam borang soal selidik iaitu Ujian Skala Depression, Anxiety dan Stress (DASS21) bagi mengukur tahap kesihatan mental bekas banduan dan Ujian Personaliti Zuckerman-Kuhlman-40-Cross Culture (ZKPQ-M-40-CC) bagi mengenalpasti 5 domain personaliti bekas banduan iaitu Activity, Sociability, Aggresiveness-hostility, Impulsive Sensation Seeking dan Neuroticism-anxiety. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat hubungan yang positif yang signifikan di antara kelima-lima jenis personaliti dengan tahap kemurungan, kebimbangan dan stres dalam kalangan bekas banduan. Intervensi kesihatan mental yang khusus perlu diberikan kepada banduan sebelum dan selepas mereka dibebaskan. Ini sangat penting dalam memastikan peluang pengintegrasian semula bekas banduan ke dalam masyarakat adalah berkesan apabila masalah kesihatan mental dapat dicegah dan dirawat sebelum ianya menjadi semakin teruk.

Abstract: The mental health problems of ex-prisoners are increasing and worrying so that it can affect the effectiveness of the reintegration of ex-prisoners into society. This paper aims to determine the relationship between personality types and the level of mental health of ex-prisoners in Malaysia. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 250 respondents. Two instruments were used in the questionnaire, namely the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale Test (DASS21) to measure the level of mental health of ex-prisoners and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-40-Cross Culture Personality Test (ZKPQ-M-40-CC) to identify 5 personality domains of ex-prisoners namely Activity, Sociability, Aggressiveness-Hostility, Impulsive Sensation Seeking and Neuroticism-Anxiety. The results of the study found that there is a positive significant relationship between the five types of personality with the level of depression, anxiety and stress among ex-prisoners. Specific mental health interventions should be provided to prisoners before and after their release. This is very important in ensuring that the chance of reintegration of ex-prisoners into society is effective when mental health problems can be prevented and treated before they get worse.
