IIUM Ibadah Disability Scale (IIDS): design & conceptual framework

Illness does not alleviate the obligation of Muslim patients to perform religious duties such as prayer. The need for a systematic evaluation of patients’ ability to perform such duties needs to be highlighted and anticipated. Thus, a research was designed to develop a standard, objective evaluation scoring system to recognize disability levels of Muslim trauma patients in performing religious physical cleansing and prayer during their illness and improve the deliverance of assistance they need. This research involves five stages. 1-Identifying common and specific problems faced by trauma patients, 2-Constructing a disability score based on data obtained, 3- Incorporating Islamic rulings and pilot testing, 4-Validation and reliability testing, and 5-Patient categorization and development of a in-patient coding system. Trauma patients of general orthopaedic wards of a local institution were recruited for this research. In the initial phase of this research, we had identified problems contributing towards patients’ ability to perform religious practices during hospital admission. These can be grouped into four main factors; the patient, the staff delivering the assistance, hospital policies and availability of facilities. Subsequent phases of this research will focus more on the first and second factors. Three major outcomes are expected at the end of this research. A disability score to categorize trauma patients according to their needs, a manual based on Islamic rulings and convenience related to common and specific disabilities, and a coding system to assist physicians and hospital staff in scrutinizing the types of assistance required by patients. This will be the first scoring system that is constructed based on both patients’ and physicians’ perspectives of difficulties in performing religious duties. It will provide a balance approach in trauma patients’ care and deliverance of assistance wherever required. The proposed scoring system has potential of becoming a standard of practice in a more holistic patient care in accordance to the much-anticipated ibadah-friendly hospital

[The Shariah-Derived Models of Medical Interactions between Healthcare Professionals and Patients] Model Interaksi Perubatan Patuh Syariah antara Petugas Kesihatan dan Pesakit

The Shariah-Derived Models of Medical Interactions between Healthcare Professionals and Patients are interaction/ relationship models constructed and reviewed from the religious perspective, Islamic jurisprudence in particular. The models were constructed based on various aspects pertaining to the healthcare professionals who provide the medical services or treatment, the patient-client who seeks for the treatment or consultations, involvement of a third party, the form of agreement involving all related parties, and the related Islamic rulings. The rulings were derived from the five basic rules pertaining to the actions and interactions of a person (al-ahkam ash-shar’iyyah al-taklifiyyah). The models were classified based on types of contracts involved, the profitability of the service rendered, as well as the related Islamic rulings. The interactions/ relationships are summarized into four models; Model A - Charitable Work/ Non-Profit Based, Model B - Profit Based, Model C - Civil Servant, and Model D - Private Employee/ Practice. Providing medical services is indeed a noble obligation. It involves certain requirements and principles in relation to the religious rulings that may differ from what are commonly practiced or understood. Model Interaksi Perubatan Patuh Syari’ah Antara Petugas Kesihatan dan Pesakit adalah model interaksi/ hubungan yang dirujuk dan dibina daripada sudut perspektif perundangan Islam. Model-model ini dibina berdasarkan pelbagai aspek yang berkaitan dengan petugas kesihatan yang menyediakan perkhidmatan perubatan, pesakit-klien yang memerlukan rawatan atau konsultasi, keterlibatan pihak ketiga, bentuk perjanjian/ kontrak yang melibatkan pihak-pihak yang terkait, dan ketetapan perundangan Islam yang berkaitan. Ketetapan-ketetapan tersebut berasal daripada lima peraturan dasar yang berkaitan dengan tindakan dan interaksi seseorang (al-ahkam asy-syar'iyyah al-taklifiyyah). Model diklasifikasikan berdasarkan keuntungan perkhidmatan yang diberikan, jenis perjanjian/ kontrak yang terlibat, dan juga perundangan-perundangan Islam yang berkaitan. Interaksi/ hubungan tersebut diringkaskan menjadi empat model; Model A - Kerja Amal / Tidak Berasaskan Kentungan, Model B - Berasaskan Keuntungan, Model C - Penjawat Awam, dan Model D - Pekerja / Perkhidmatan Swasta. Perawatan dan perkhidmatan perubatan merupakan kewajipan yang mulia. Ia melibatkan syarat dan prinsip tertentu yang berkaitan dengan peraturan agama yang mungkin berbeza dari apa yang biasa diamalkan atau difahami

Religious perspective of doctor-patient relationship models in complementing uprising social phenomenal demands

The public has questioned many of the previously accepted medical treatments. One of the factors highlighted is the uprising of social demands influenced by religious-centred ideation. Even though medical practitioners are regarded as one of the noble professions in society, their professional opinions are started to be questioned. To complement this social phenomenon, we reviewed and construct models of doctor- patient relationships from the religious perspective, Islamic jurisprudence in particular. Most discussions related to doctor-patient relationship focused on codes of conducts such as medical ethics, professionalism, and confidentiality. In this brief review, we would like to highlight more on the models of doctor-patient relationship and the Islamic rulings related to it. The rulings were reviewed from various aspects pertaining to the patient who seeks for treatments, the doctor who provides the medical services or treatment, involvement of a third party, and the form of agreement involving all related parties. The rulings were derived from the five basic rules pertaining to the actions and interactions of a person (al-ahkam al-taklifiyyah). Relationship models were classified based on the profitability of the service rendered, types of contract involved, as well as the related Islamic rulings. The obligation of becoming a medical practitioner varies depending on various factors. Similarly, the rulings on patients seeking for treatment for medical illnesses remain debatable among religious scholars. Models of doctor- patient relationship can be summarized into four models; Model A - Charitable Work, Model B - Profit-based, Model C - Civil Servant, and Model D - Private Employee. Providing medical services is indeed a noble obligation. However, it involves certain requirements and principles in relation to the religious rulings that may differ from what are commonly practiced

Doctor-patient relationship in the light of the syari'ah: excerpts from the Fiqh Muamalat in Medicine Workshop 2013

Medical practitioners are regarded as one of the noble professions in society. Muslim medical practitioners are bound to the rulings of the syari'ah, even in providing health services. Most discussions related to doctor-patient relationship focused on codes of conducts such as medical ethics, professionalism, and confidentiality. These were debated topics during the recent Fiqh Muamalat in Medicine Workshop. In this brief review, we would like to highlight more on the models of doctor-patient relationship and the syari'ah rulings related to it. The syari'ah rulings were reviewed from various aspects pertaining to the patient who seeks for treatments, the doctor who provides the medical services or treatment, involvement of a third party, and the form of agreement involving all related parties. The rulings were derived from the five basic rules pertaining to the actions and interactions of a person (al-ahkam al-taklifiyyah). Relationship models were classified based on the profitability of the service rendered, types of contract involved, as well as the related syari'ah rulings. The obligation of becoming a medical practitioner varies depending on various factors. Similarly, the rulings on patients seeking for treatment for medical illnesses remain debatable among scholars. Models of doctor-patient relationship can be summarized into four models; Model A - Charitable Work, Model B - Profit-based, Model C - Civil Servant, and Model D - Private Employee. Providing medical services is indeed a noble obligation. However, it involves certain requirements and rulings that may differ from what are commonly practiced
