| Summary: | Islamic Personality (IP) is a form of moral quality in the psychological aspects of a human which is
governed by the belief in Allah as the One God and Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) as His
servant and His messenger. Many Muslim Personality tests have been established in order to
understand the personality based on the principles in Islam. By adopting and adapting existing Muslim
personality tests can help in formulating the criteria to measure the Islamic personality traits of Medical
imaging students and practitioners. The Medical Imaging practice is comprised of various domains;
basic principles in healthcare and medical imaging, patient care, use of technology, the technicalities or
procedures, quality, safety, economic, research and professionalism. Thus, the IP can be different from
other fields in health sciences. This paper examined various professional guidelines for Medical
Imaging practitioners for some specific attributes for each domain in Medical Imaging practice. Among
the attributes are, respectful; safe practice; safe activity; equality; trustworthy; honesty and integrity;
truthful; responsible and accountable; compassionate; wisdom; being up-to-date; competence;
teamwork; self-reflection; dignity; ethical behaviours; adhere to laws and regulations; effective
communication; and continuity of knowledge and skills development. These attributes form the
personality of the Medical Imaging practitioners. Previous studies have shown that there are positive
connections between religiosity and the factor of personality. Religiosity, emotional religion and
spirituality can be predicted through the assessment of personality factors. The formulation of a model
for Islamic personality and its measures are very important in order to assess the characteristics of the
Medical imaging graduates and practitioners, especially when it comes to matters of employment as
well as the Islamisation of the professional and the profession. The benefits of the criteria formulation
are seen within enhancement of the Medical imaging practice to what Islam champions. |
