Background/Aims: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated modifications to allow the safe practice ofclinical gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of clinical gastroenterologyand gastrointestinal endoscopy practices during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled physician members of the Indonesian Society for Digestive Endoscopy. We used anonline self-administered questionnaire disseminated via social media. The 32-item survey determined the baseline characteristics ofthe participants, characteristics of clinical gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy practices, involvement of the physiciansin the management of COVID-19, and overall impact of the pandemic on practice. All collected data were analyzed using descriptivestatistics. Results: The 200 participants in this study had a median age of 50 (34–76) years. Modifications in clinical gastroenterology practice werefrequently reported in the outpatient (95.5%) and inpatient (100%) settings. All participants reported changes in the gastrointestinalendoscopy practice patterns. Of the participants, 86.0% were working in high-risk zones, and several of them reported inadequateprotective personal equipment (34.0%). The median overall impact score of the pandemic on practice was 9 (2–10). Conclusions: Physicians practicing clinical gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy in Indonesia work in high-risk settings. Modifications in clinical gastroenterology and gastrointestinal endoscopy practices are prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
