COVID-19 has created unprecedented challenges in society with regard to the safety of healthcare personnel and the jeopardizing of the public health system. This can happen if healthcare facilities do not increase their vigilance in protecting healthcare workers. This study is a quantitative, observational and analytical study of 200 people in Central Java. The data analysis used was path analysis, and it was found that the quality of speech therapy services increased (b = 2.58 units; 95% CI = 1.90 to 3.27; p < 0.001), and the level of satisfaction of speech therapy patients increased (b = 1.28 units; 95% CI = 0.61 to 1.95; p < 0.001). In contrast, therapeutic motivation decreased (b = 0.63; 95% CI = 1.21 to -0.05; p=0.033). The conclusion of this study is an increase in service quality, therapeutic motivation and patient satisfaction in speech therapy indirectly influenced by quality and motivation theory.
