Abstract

Background: Education is one of the largest and most complex social sectors that have been negatively affected by Covid-19, which has led to subsequent changes in modes of learning and teaching in many universities around the world by introducing e-learning platforms. This online learning method has also been carried out by Hasanuddin University through the SIKOLA. Objective: To determine students’ perceptions regarding the computer-based test (CBT) through the SIKOLA learning plat-form during COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This analytic observational study was design as cross-sectional, using students of Hasanuddin University Faculty of Dentistry as population, which were divided by gender and educational stages. Respon-dents filled out online questionnaires consisting of 6 variables, namely pedagogy, validity, reliability, affective factors, effi-ciency, and safety. Data collected were in a form of Likert scale and then analyzed with t-test using SPSS. Result: There was a significant difference in perception between preclinical and clinical students on the pedagogical and efficiency variables (p<0.005). Based on the educational stage, significant differences were only seen in the pedagogical and efficiency aspects. Conclusion: Student perceptions related to CBT exams through SIKOLA learning have good perceptions, seen from the majority of respondents who agree on the pedagogical aspects, validity, reliability, affective factors, efficiency and safety.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental and oral health services are essential for promoting not only physical health but also psychological well-being and patient confidence. Patient satisfaction is a crucial metric of healthcare quality, and the SERVQUAL dimensions—Tangibles, Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, and Empathy—serve as a foundation for service evaluation. Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) is an effective method for identifying gaps between patients' expectations and the actual performance of dental services, offering a strategic basis for service improvement. Methods: This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was identified through searches in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using relevant Boolean keywords. A total of 150 articles were initially retrieved. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 eligible studies were analyzed. Data were synthesized based on study focus, key findings, moderating factors, and geographic context. Results: The review revealed significant performance gaps in the dimensions of Responsiveness and Empathy, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, Iran, and Iraq. Contributing factors included limited resources, cultural communication barriers, and disparities in healthcare access. Tangibles such as facility cleanliness and design were also influential in patient satisfaction. Reliability and Assurance contributed to trust-building, though they showed relatively smaller gaps. Studies from high-resource settings demonstrated better overall balance across SERVQUAL dimensions, highlighting the role of institutional support and training. Conclusion: IPA serves as a powerful diagnostic and strategic tool for evaluating and enhancing the quality of dental and oral health services. By highlighting critical performance gaps—particularly in interpersonal and environmental aspects—IPA supports targeted interventions. The integration of patient-centered care principles with IPA findings can guide resource allocation, improve patient satisfaction, and address systemic inequalities in dental healthcare delivery. This review underscores the need for contextualized quality improvement strategies, especially in low-resource environments.

Abstract

Introduction: Quality of healthcare services plays a crucial role in determining the overall success of dental clinic operations. It influences not only treatment outcomes but also patients’ overall experiences and perceptions. Key elements such as staff friendliness, facility cleanliness, responsiveness to patient needs, and professional competence are essential factors that shape patient satisfaction and encourage long-term loyalty. These factors collectively determine how patients perceive service quality and whether they choose to return for future dental care. Methods: This study utilized a systematic review approach to explore the relationship between healthcare service quality and its influence on patient satisfaction and loyalty. Data were obtained from major academic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The PICO framework was applied to establish clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. Only articles published from 2019 onward that examined the influence of service quality on patient satisfaction and loyalty were selected. Each study was assessed for methodological quality and relevance. A total of five eligible studies were analyzed using the SERVQUAL model, which consists of five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Results: Findings revealed that all five SERVQUAL dimensions influenced patient satisfaction and loyalty, although to different extents. Tangibles, such as modern equipment and clean facilities, were important for creating comfort and a positive perception of care. However, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy demonstrated stronger and more consistent effects in enhancing both satisfaction and loyalty. Key factors such as personalized attention, professional staff behavior, timely service, and emotional support significantly contributed to positive patient experiences. Conclusion: The quality of dental healthcare services, particularly when addressing both technical and interpersonal aspects through the SERVQUAL framework, plays a crucial role in building patient satisfaction and loyalty. Clinics that invest in comprehensive quality strategies are better positioned to maintain long-term relationships with patients and improve service competitiveness.
