Susuk: Di antara Penemuan Klinikal dan Amalan Tradisional (Susuk: Between Clinical Findings and Traditional Practice)
Abstract
ABSTRAK: Susuk, atau dikenali sebagai ‘jarum pesona’ dipakai di muka dan bahagian badan yang lain kerana ia dipercayai dapat meningkatkan kecantikan dan keremajaan serta untuk kelihatan ‘garang’ atau tujuan merawat kesakitan tubuh badan, adalah merupakan amalan yang berdasarkan kepercayaan tradisional. Kebiasaannya, penemuan susuk secara klinikal adalah dengan tidak sengaja dalam pengimejan diagnostik, diagnostik iaitu x-ray atau computed tomography scan (CT scan), prosedur yang dijalankan untuk membantu mendiagnos sesuatu penyakit. Penemuan susuk secara kebetulan ini menimbulkan isu yang perlu dijelaskan. Dalam konteks ini, kami ingin menyelidik penggunaan susuk dan aspek-aspek lain yang berkaitan termasuk membincangkan pandangan Islam mengenai praktis ini. Pencarian sistematik telah dijalankan melalui empat pangkalan data elektronik: Ovid, Scopus, PubMed dan Embase, berdasarkan garis panduan PRISMA-ScR sehingga Jun 2023 menggunakan kata kekunci susuk di mana kriteria pemilihan adalah mana-mana artikel yang menerangkan susuk sebagai jarum lurus tanpa menghadkan masa penerbitan. Sejumlah 31 artikel telah dimasukkan dalam kajian skop ini. Kajian ini memberikan maklumat yang relevan dan berpotensi untuk memperkayakan pemahaman tentang susuk dan pengetahuan dalam pelbagai bidang seperti antropologi budaya, sains perubatan dan agama, serta mempromosikan dialog antara bidang ini.

ABSTRACT: Susuk, or known as charm needle is worn on the face and other parts of the body because it is believed to enhance beauty and youthfulness, and even to convey a ‘fierce’ appearance or to alleviate bodily pain of which the practice is rooted in traditional beliefs. The clinical detection of susuk is often incidental during diagnostic imaging procedures like X-rays or computed tomography scans (CT scans), which aid in diagnosing medical conditions. The inadvertent discovery of susuk raises pertinent issues necessitating clarification. In this context, we aim to investigate the use of susuk and other related aspects, including discussing the Islamic perspective on this practice. A systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases: Ovid, Scopus, PubMed, and Embase, based on PRISMA-ScR guidelines until June 2023 using the keyword “susuk,” where the selection criteria encompass any articles describing susuk as straight needles without limiting the publication date. A total of 31 articles were included in this scoping study. This study provides relevant information and has the potential to enrich the understanding of susuk and knowledge in various fields such as cultural anthropology, medical science, and religion, promoting a dialogue among these fields.
