“…Komisi etik hewan dikenal dengan istilah Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) di berbagai negara, dan merupakan salah satu perangkat kunci dalam pengawasan atau oversight penerapan kesejahteraan hewan di institusi (National Research Council 2011). Berdasarkan standar internasional, keberadaan suatu oversight body seperti IACUC yang berfungsi optimal merupakan salah satu syarat mutlak perolehan akreditasi dan lisensi institusi yang melaksanakan kegiatan ilmiah melibatkan hewan (Baar et al 2018;Bradfield et al 2018;Gettayacamin et al 2018). Di Indonesia, belum terdapat aturan yang mewajibkan keberadaan komisi etik di institusi yang melakukan penelitian menggunakan hewan coba.…”

“…Keberadaan dua jenis komisi etik yang berbeda sesuai subyek penelitian merupakan hal yang sejalan dengan standar yang berlaku di berbagai negara seperti Amerika Serikat, Kanada, dan Singapura (Baar et al 2018;Bradfield et al 2018;Gettayacamin et al 2018). Namun, di Indonesia tidak ada aturan tegas tentang pemisahan komisi berbasis subyek penelitian sehingga cukup banyak institusi yang menggabungkan kaji etik penelitian dengan subyek hewan dan yang mengikutsertakan manusia dalam naungan komisi yang sama, yakni Komisi Etik Penelitian Kesehatan (KEPK) (Wahyuwardani et al 2020).…”

Pengembangan berbagai obat, vaksin dan produk kesehatan memerlukan tahap penelitian dan pengujian pada hewan laboratorium/hewan coba. Kesejahteraan hewan selama pemeliharan dan penggunaannya dalam studi merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang menentukan kesahihan hasil, dan pemenuhannya semakin menjadi sorotan publik dan tuntutan global. Diperlukan aturan hukum, kebijakan dan pedoman nasional untuk menjamin implementasi prinsip kesejahteraan hewan yang terstandar di berbagai institusi di Indonesia, dan mengacu pada standar internasional. Kajian ini bertujuan menelaah aspek legal di Indonesia yang mengatur implementasi prinsip etik dan kesejahteraan hewan di bidang penelitian biomedis, dan mengidentifikasi kebijakan dan pedoman yang diperlukan untuk mencapai standarisasi penjaminan tersebut.

“…AV should graduate from a veterinary medical college, undergo training and/or gain experience in the care and management of the relevant species. AV must also possess sufficient authority, as provided by the institution, to treat an animal (42,43). AV is an experienced professional who possesses extensive knowledge in veterinary medicine and understands the biological characteristics of the animal, enabling appropriate clinical treatment (44).…”

The use of laboratory animals in biomedical research has significantly advanced scientific understanding, yet it raises ethical concerns about animal welfare and the mental health of researchers Recent research has highlighted the potential for stress and compassion fatigue among researchers working with distressed animals. Attending veterinarians (AVs) are crucial in mitigating the pain and stress experienced by animals and, by extension, researchers. However, the impact of AVs on researchers’ psychological well-being remains understudied. This study explores how AVs contribute to researchers’ research capability and psychological well-being in animal research institutions. AVs oversee animal housing, health, and welfare; their involvement is mandated or strongly recommended in developed countries. AVs enhance animal welfare by ensuring proper housing, nutrition, and social interaction. They monitor animal health, educate researchers on pain assessment, and promote compliance with post-surgical care. AVs also contribute to researchers’ well-being by addressing euthanasia procedures, which can be emotionally challenging. Programs for rehoming animals after experiments offer an alternative to euthanasia and positively impact researchers’ psychological well-being. Moreover, AVs promote workplace well-being by fostering positive workplace cultures, offering peer counseling, and providing social support. Programs considering animal welfare and researchers’ emotions are crucial for a healthy research environment. In conclusion, AVs are essential in balancing scientific progress with animal welfare and researchers’ psychological well-being. Therefore, their role should be recognized as vital in achieving social equity that considers the welfare of humans and laboratory animals.
