Akhlak Mulia Tenaga Kesehatan Dalam Pelayanan Pasien Persfektif Islam

Abstract

Good moral character is an essential aspect of healthcare services because it is closely related to professional ethics, patient safety, and respect for human dignity. From an Islamic perspective, the values of trustworthiness, excellence, empathy, justice, patience, and responsibility provide a moral foundation for delivering professional and compassionate care. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Islamic moral values to patient care practices. It employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. The data are drawn from scientific literature, academic books, professional codes of ethics, and relevant Islamic normative sources. The data are analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through information selection, thematic categorization, source comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that Islamic moral values are relevant to therapeutic communication, caring behavior, privacy protection, respect for patient rights, and nondiscriminatory healthcare delivery. These values may support trusting relationships between healthcare professionals and patients and contribute to a more humane care experience. However, moral conduct must be accompanied by clinical competence, adherence to professional standards, and evidence-based practice to maintain patient safety and service quality. The study concludes that Islamic moral values should be integrated into ethics education and the professional practices of healthcare workers. As this research is based on a literature review, its findings are conceptual and require further empirical investigation.
