Perspekif orientalisme tentang Islam di Borneo

Orientalis Barat yang menulis tentang Islam di Borneo boleh dibahagikan kepada dua kelompok iaitu pertama, pengembara, padri atau jurnalis seperti Horace St. John dan Snouck Hurgronje. Sebahagian daripada mereka boleh bertutur dan menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu. Snouck Hogranje merupakan antara penulis yang berpengaruh sehingga menyumbang kepada pembentukan banyak polisi kerajaan Belanda di Indonesia. Kelompok kedua ialah daripada tokoh-tokoh imperialis yang terdiri daripada pentadbir atau pegawai kolonial seperti Stamford Raffles, Spenser St. John dan Hugh Low yang membuat polisi tetapi mereka juga kadang-kadang membuat catatan dan menulis buku-buku yang menjadi rujukan pengembara yang lain. James Brooke misalnya menjadikan karya Raffles sebagai panduan memahami sifat-sifat orang Melayu dan keadaan di Nusantara. Terdapat orientalis yang membuat penelitian dan penghuraian secara objektif mengenai masyarakat di Borneo. Begitu juga terdapat banyak penghuraian tentang pemerintahan, sistem sosio-budaya, tentang masyarakat Melayu-Islam dan tentang Islam itu sendiri dibuat secara yang tidak objektif, berat sebelah, prejudis, mempunyai sikap permusuhan dengan tujuan untuk memburuk-burukkan agama Islam dan penduduk peribumi. Antara perspektif yang paling menonjol tentang Islam di Borneo ialah penggunaan istilah ”mohammadenism” bagi merujuk kepada agama Islam. Konsep ini turut digunakan dalam persidangan-persidangan resmi kerajaan penjajah seperti ”Council Negeri” Sarawak. Bertolak daripada premis ini, tulisan ini akan mengupas pandangan bersifat orientalisme tentang Islam di Borneo berdasarkan sumber-sumber bersifat sejarah

Penyeliaan klinikal sebagai moderator antara hubungan kemahiran klinikal dengan eksperimentasi latihan perubatan siswazah (housemanship)

This research was conducted in the Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor.

Moreover, researchers will also identify whether the clinical supervision react as a moderator or non-moderator. The data collection showed the researchers have 125 number of questionnaire returned. Researchers have made a pilot study and receiving the alpha cronbach value of realibility is highest. Additional, researchers used the descriptive statistics (mean, frequency and percentage) and inferential statistics (pearson correlation and regression of hierarchical reporting) for data analyses. Findings showed the level of clinical skills used and the level of experimentation learning achievements is high. The correlation analyse showed there are positive correlation between the clinical skills used and the level of experimentation learning achievements. However, based on regression analysis of hierarchical reporting, the relationship is not influenced by a clinical supervision moderator.

Two types of communication styles evaluated are doctor centered and patient centered communication. Meanwhile, elements of information seeking practice evaluated are exploration of the reason for encounter, history taking, concrete solutions, structuring the interview, interpersonal skills and communicative skills.

The subjects for this research are doctors under training or junior doctors in Malaysia. This explorative research distributed a set of questionnaires in order to collect data for analysis. The result show that the doctors under training or junior doctors tend to practice doctor-centered styles compare to patient-centered. Meanwhile, most of them demonstrate all the information seeking practice at a high level. Based on four quadrants developed by researcher, research shows that the doctors mostly categorized in doctor-centered communication style and interview information-seeking skills.
