The first reasons for me to join this forum is to broaden my horizons with the latest research findings in science and medicine field. After watching the videos from previous forum, where distinguished scientists shared trending topics and their findings through seminars, I could deepen my knowledge in my current research field of primary healthcare as well as in other fields. Knowing that there will also be distinguished scientists attending this year’s forum, I am eager to learn from them in person.

Another purpose is to gain insights from researchers through cross-cultural interactions. After immersing myself in research, I found it interesting to write papers by reading other articles during the writing process. However, I often encounter challenges, especially in identifying topics worth exploring. I am curious about how different researchers tackle the challenges they face and how they find passion in continuing their research. This forum will include discussion sessions, which allows me to interact with scientists from different backgrounds and exchange perspectives and insights on research.

I believe having this valuable experience to participate can equip me with the skills needed to continue on my research path and hopefully make an impact in my field in future.

I am currently working on papers in the field of primary healthcare. One of the research papers in progress is a review on resilience among informal caregivers facing psychological trauma and the available interventions. Informal caregivers often bear significant strain due to the persistent nature of caring duties, leading to caregiver burden. Resilience is one of the protective factors that can help reduce this burden. Many studies have emphasized the positive adaptation associated with resilience; however, fewer of them have discussed its dynamic and time-variant nature. To address this gap, the scoping review aims to map existing studies on how resilience changes over time and in response to different stressors. Moreover, recognizing that resilience can either increase, remain stable, or decrease at specific time points raises the question of whether there are interventions that can enhance resilience and restore caregivers to a state of normal well-being after encountering traumatic life changes. Investigation into this topic will ultimately inform the development of targeted strategies to manage caregiver burden more effectively and improve their overall well-being.
