Abstract : Study aims to assess the perception of patient of antibiotic-associated diarrhea towards Fecal Microbial Therapy. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling technique to select the subjects. Thirty-three participants were selected for the study. Everyone who filled out the consent did so of their own free will and without expectation of reward or remuneration. Self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect the data. Results: 33 participants who have been identified with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea were given a total of 15 standardized questionnaires regarding Fecal Microbial Therapy. The vast majority of patients held favorable opinions regarding FMT. Only a small percentage of patients had the impression that FMT diminished their sense of respect. In addition, the patient had a revolting feeling towards the FMT. Second, the vast majority of patients were of the opinion that FMT has the potential to be an advantageous and successful treatment option. The majority of patients believed that being able to assist others was more essential than being inconvenienced by FMT, and all participants supported maintaining patient confidentiality both during and after the procedure. Patients were not consistent in their agreement that FMT should be used as a treatment when the donor cannot be identified. Conclusion: Although FMT has been well-received as a treatment for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, there is room for improvement in patients' perception of the therapy's benefits and risks. When patient preference and the knowledge disparity between are brought into alignment, the result will be improved education and the facilitation of the establishment of decision-making principles.
