Gene therapy is expected to improve patients' quality of life. Medical students need to be aware about this technology as its application is becoming wider.
MATERIALS & METHODS: A web-based survey was conducted to measure the acceptance of Indonesian medical students regarding gene therapy.
Data from 621 valid responses showed that Indonesian medical students have little knowledge of this technology, with 34.4% of them ever heard of gene therapy. However, most of them support the approved gene therapy for health-related matters, but not on the non-health related matters. Their acceptance was determined by the sex, domicile and studentship status.
Increasing medical students' knowledge of gene therapy is important to minimize the future conflict of gene therapy application.
基因治疗有望改善患者的生活质量。随着基因治疗应用范围日益广泛，医学生需要了解这项技术。
开展了一项基于网络的调查，以衡量印度尼西亚医学生对基因治疗的接受程度。
621份有效回复的数据显示，印度尼西亚医学生对这项技术了解甚少，其中34.4%的人听说过基因治疗。然而，他们中的大多数人支持已获批的与健康相关事务的基因治疗，但不支持与非健康相关事务的基因治疗。他们的接受程度取决于性别、居住地址和学生身份。
增加医学生对基因治疗的了解对于尽量减少未来基因治疗应用中的冲突至关重要。
