Abstract

Patient satisfaction based on a patient’s opinion is the main criterion and can be one of the best ways to measure the quality of healthcare services. In this study, we determined patient satisfaction in hospital healthcare services at Zainal Abidin Hospital (RSUZA) and the socio-demographic factors associated with patient satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was con-ducted, and participants were recruited using purposive and accidental sampling techniques. The validity of the questionnaire was tested using Pearson’s test, reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha test, and descriptive statistics were performed. The questionnaire used in this study is valid (p < 0.000) and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.785). The study revealed that 89.5% (809 out of 904) of respondents expressed satisfaction with the healthcare services provided by RSUZA. There was no difference on respondent in the gender category (p = 0.309), the age category (p = 0.095), and the respondent type (p = 0.377). Sociodemographic factors such as age (p < 0.000), education (p < 0.000), and occupation (p < 0.000) were significantly related to the level of patient satisfaction. It can be concluded that the major-ity of respondents (89.5%) are satisfied with the healthcare services provided by RSUZA. Healthcare providers need to focus on the patient’s age, educational level, and occupation to increase patient satisfaction, which is a benchmark for the quality of a healthcare service. © 2023, Universitas Negeri Semarang.
