Abstract

Background: In the competitive outpatient healthcare sector, clinics struggle to retain and attract returning patients. Brand image and service quality significantly influence patient satisfaction and revisit decisions. A strong reputation and high service standards are expected to enhance loyalty and revisit rates. However, their interaction in hospital settings remains underexplored. This systematic review examines how brand image and service quality affect patient return behavior, satisfaction, and loyalty in outpatient clinics. Methods: A systematic review following the PRISMA approach was conducted on studies published between 2020 and 2024. The review included research assessing the impact of brand image and service quality on patient satisfaction and revisiting intentions. Using a structured selection process, relevant studies were identified from academic databases. The analysis focused on cross-sectional, case study, and survey-based research to determine key factors influencing patient revisit behavior in outpatient healthcare settings. Results: The review found that brand image and service quality significantly impact patient revisit behavior. A strong brand image was consistently linked to higher patient loyalty and revisit intentions. High service quality, characterized by timely service, professionalism, and responsiveness, emerged as a crucial determinant of patient satisfaction and return behavior. Several studies emphasized service quality as an essential factor in shaping positive patient experiences. Additionally, the relationship between brand image and service quality was interdependent, with each factor reinforcing the other. Conclusion: This review highlights the critical roles of brand image and service quality in influencing patient revisit behavior in outpatient healthcare services. To enhance patient retention, healthcare facilities should strengthen their brand image through effective communication and improving service quality to meet patient expectations. Future research should investigate longitudinal effects and patient segmentation to understand further the dynamics of patient revisit behavior in healthcare settings.

Abstract

Background: Every parent desires for their children to grow and develop optimally in accordance with their developmental stages. Child development includes various domains such as language, social, fine motor, and gross motor skills. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of parenting patterns and gadget use on the growth and development of preschool children. Methods: This study employed an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 1,049 parents and preschool children, and a sample of 290 respondents was selected. Parenting style and gadget use were considered independent variables, while children’s growth and development were the dependent variables. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: The findings revealed that a majority of mothers practised a democratic parenting style (92.1%), most children had moderate gadget use (72.8%), and 47.9% of children experienced normal growth. The logistic regression analysis showed a significant relationship between parenting style (p = 0.007) and gadget use (p = 0.050) with child development, indicating that both variables influence developmental outcomes. Parenting and gadget use affect children's development, and parents need to identify these factors to promote healthier child growth and development. Conclusion: The importance of guiding parents to apply appropriate parenting styles and regulate gadget use to support optimal child development. Future research should examine additional factors such as content quality, screen time duration, and parental education level to provide a more comprehensive understanding and more targeted interventions.

Abstract

Background: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is critical in ensuring the protection and well-being of healthcare workers, especially in primary health centres (PHCs) where resource limitations often compromise safety standards. In Indonesia, limited data exists on the overall Performance of OHS management across multiple PHCs. This study aimed to assess the current status of OHS management implementation across 30 PHCs in Tulungagung Regency, Indonesia, focusing on the availability of OHS facilities, staff competency, and their association with OHS management outcomes Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed involving 30 PHCs selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and checklists assessing facility availability, staff training, and OHS management practices. The OHS implementation instrument consisted of 35 items validated through Pearson correlation (p < 0.05; r > 0.6) and demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.762). Descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and ordinal logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: Most PHCs (76.7%) had complete OHS infrastructure, yet 76.7% lacked trained personnel. OHS management Performance was rated as poor in 63.3% of PHCs, moderate in 6.7%, and good in only 30%. A significant relationship was observed between staff OHS competency and OHS management quality (χ² = 7.182; p = 0.028). However, regression analysis indicated that facility availability and staff training accounted for only 8.6% of the variance in OHS management outcomes (Nagelkerke R² = 0.086). Conclusion: Despite sufficient infrastructure in most PHCs, the lack of trained personnel remains a major barrier to effective OHS implementation. These findings highlight the need for targeted capacity-building and systemic approaches that integrate leadership, policy enforcement, and organizational support to improve occupational health outcomes in primary healthcare settings.
