With lockdown measures being a common response strategy in most countries, many individuals were faced with financial and mental health challenges. The current study explored the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological well-being, perception of risk factors and coping strategies of two vulnerable groups in Malaysia, namely women and older adults from low-income households (USD592). A purposive sample of 30 women and 30 older adults was interviewed via telephone during Malaysia\u2019s Movement Control Order (MCO) regarding the challenges they faced throughout the pandemic. Thematic analysis was subsequently conducted to identify key themes. The themes identified from the thematic analysis indicated a degree of overlap between both groups. For women, seven themes emerged: 1) Psychological challenges due to COVID-19 pandemic, 2) Family violence, 3) Finance and employment related stress and anxiety, 4) Women\u2019s inequality and prejudice, 5) Coping strategies, 6) Professional support, and 7) Women\u2019s empowerment. Similarly, there were six themes for the older adults: 1) Adverse emotional experiences from COVID-19, 2) Threats to health security, 3) Loss of social connections, 4) Government aid to improve older adults\u2019 psychological well-being, 5) Psychological support from family members and pets, and 6) Self-reliance, religion, and spirituality. The findings provide valuable information on the specific burdens faced by these groups, and support psychological interventions and mitigations that would be appropriate to improve well-being during the recovery phase.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0301009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]],"date-time":"2024-04-17T17:38:10Z","timestamp":1713375490000},"page":"e0301009","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Perceptions of risk and coping strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic among women and older adults"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7862-7880","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Guek Nee","family":"Ke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3320-4531","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alan","family":"Gow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rachel Mei Ming","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shahirah","family":"Raman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5878-947X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zulaikha","family":"Mohammad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"De-Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rozainee","family":"Khairudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3447-9895","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wee Yeap","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khalil Anwar","family":"Kamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shen Chiang","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dasha","family":"Grajfoner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0301009.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112934","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2020.112934","article-title":"The psychological impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on college students in China.","volume":"287","author":"W Cao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Psychiatry Res"},{"key":"pone.0301009.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2020.113172","article-title":"Factors associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptomatology during the COVID-19 pandemic: Clinical implications for US young adult mental health.","volume":"290","author":"CH Liu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Psychiatry Res"},{"key":"pone.0301009.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"907797","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.907797","article-title":"Psychological wellbeing and employability of retrenched workforce during COVID-19: A qualitative study exploring the mitigations for post pandemic recovery phase.","volume":"10","author":"G-N Ke","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Public Health"},{"key":"pone.0301009.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"764811","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2022.764811","article-title":"Building the positive emotion-resilience-coping efficacy model for COVID-19 pandemic.","volume":"13","author":"GN Ke","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Psychol."},{"key":"pone.0301009.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1354","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpolmod.2021.09.002","article-title":"Lessons learned from three Southeast Asian countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.","volume":"43","author":"M.
