Abstract

Background: The quality of pharmaceutical services is an important factor in ensuring the quality of health services in hospitals. In this current era of the new normal, improving the quality of pharmaceutical services is closely related to patient satisfaction and loyalty. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the effect of pharmaceutical service quality on loyalty through mediating outpatient satisfaction at the Pharmacy Installation of Daya General Hospital. Method: This research was a quantitative study with an analytical observational study design. Respondents in this study were 120 outpatients at the Pharmacy Installation. The data analysis method used was univariate and bivariate analysis through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program and multivariate Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the AMOS program. Results: Satisfaction affected the loyalty of outpatients at the Pharmacy Installation. The most dominant indicator was feeling satisfied in the satisfaction variable, with a loading factor of 0.93. In the loyalty variable, the most dominant indicator was the loyalty aspect, with a loading factor of 0.41. The direct effect of pharmaceutical service quality on loyalty was 0.550, while the indirect effect mediated by patient satisfaction was 0.303.
