Abstract

The use of drugs and the responsibility of pharmacists in the treatment process for the Indonesian Christian community face challenges in understanding biblical health doctrines especially in the use of drugs and the provision of advice by pharmacists. The view that medicine as a product of science is contrary to faith and belief in God's care for the health of the human body is a theological distortion. the pharmacist’s role is equated with relying on humans and not relying on God. This study assesses perspectives on medicine and pharmacists in the Indonesian Christian community. This research is a descriptive study using questionnaire. Respondents were randomly selected from all provinces in Indonesia following the proportion of the Christian population in the province. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested using the composite reliability (CR) method and Cronbach's alpha with a significance level of 5%. The questionnaire was assessed using a Likert scale and the results were classified into very good, good, and poor. This study shows the community's perspective on medicine still needs to be improved (32.6% very good, 40.6% good, and 26.8% poor). For Indonesian Christian community, the hesitation to use medicine is caused by the teaching that faith and God's promises in the Bible are sufficient to heal and maintain human health. While the perspective of pharmacists in the treatment process shows better results (45.4% very good, 36.2% good, and 18.4% poor).

印尼基督徒社区对药剂师和医学的看法
在印度尼西亚基督教社区的治疗过程中,药物的使用和药剂师的责任在理解圣经健康教义方面面临挑战,特别是在药物的使用和药剂师提供咨询方面。认为医学是科学的产物是违背信仰和相信上帝关心人体健康的观点是一种神学上的扭曲。药剂师的角色等同于依靠人类而不是依靠上帝。本研究评估了印尼基督教社区对医学和药剂师的看法。本研究采用问卷调查法进行描述性研究。受访者是根据印尼各省基督徒人口的比例随机抽取的。问卷的效度和信度采用复合信度法和Cronbach’s alpha进行检验,显著性水平为5%。问卷采用李克特量表进行评估,结果分为非常好、好和差。该研究显示,社区对医学的看法仍需改进(32.6%非常好,40.6%好,26.8%差)。对于印尼的基督徒群体来说,使用药物的犹豫是因为他们认为信仰和上帝在圣经中的应许足以治愈和维持人类的健康。药师在治疗过程中的表现较好(45.4%非常好,36.2%良好,18.4%较差)。
