The Effect of Service Quality on the Satisfaction of Bpjs Patients in the Outpatient Installation of Lawawoi Health Center, Sidenreng Rappang Regency
📄 Abstract
Introduction: Service quality is crucial for customer satisfaction, particularly in healthcare, where it impacts patients' perceptions and trust. The fact highlighted issues such as unfriendly staff, lack of welcoming behavior, perceived unequal treatment, absence of staff in counseling, and limited waiting area facilities. Method: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design was employed. The sample consisted of 99 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through documentation, questionnaires, and direct observation. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, along with t-tests and F-tests to assess partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on patient satisfaction. Results: The results of the t-test analysis revealed that the variables of reliability, responsiveness, and empathy had a significant partial effect on patient satisfaction. In contrast, tangibles and assurance did not show a statistically significant partial influence. The adjusted R square value was 0.767, indicating that the independent variables collectively explain 76.7% of the variation in patient satisfaction. The F-test showed an F-value of 125.479, which is greater than the critical value of 2.310, confirming that the five service quality variables—tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy—have a simultaneous and significant effect on the satisfaction of BPJS patients at the Outpatient Unit of Lawawoi Public Health Center. Conclusion: The study concludes that the service quality dimensions of reliability, responsiveness, and empathy significantly and partially influence the satisfaction of BPJS patients, while tangibles and assurance do not have a significant partial effect. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for health facility managers to formulate strategies aimed at improving service quality and enhancing patient satisfaction, particularly among BPJS participants.
