0 BACKGROUND
1
school education is highly satisfied with the service provided by the
government hospitals as compared to higher education qualification
patients. These findings show that satisfaction is a subjective feeling that
was interpreted differently and how this study will aim to find the factors that
influence the patient’s satisfaction in Hospital Klang, Selangor.

were not satisfied with the facilities. Hizlinda T et al (2012), Rizal A.M et al
(2006) and Harvinderjit K et al (2016) for example stress that by improving
the respected factor, the satisfaction will be improved accordingly.
Public services in Malaysia has always been given a poor perspective by the
citizen especially in healthcare service. Although the Malaysia have many specialists that
attend to their patient with good consultation, patient would always felt dissatisfied
towards Malaysian healthcare services.

Based on the literature reviews, the theoretical framework is constructed to
determine the significant factors that contributes to the patient satisfaction. According to
Ganasegaran et al (2015) financial aspect and time spent with doctor contribute to the
patient satisfaction, whereas Ganasegaran et al (2015), Yogesh (2011) and Rezaian T et
al (2014) stressed that interpersonal manner and communication are among the factors
affect the satisfaction. Besides that, empathy and waiting time have been mentioned a
lot by the researchers such as Ang K.T et al (2012), Azimatun N.A (2012), Yogesh (2011)
and Lau B.T et al (2018). According to Hizlinda T et al (2012) accessibility, doctor and
nurse affect the satisfaction whereas Harvinderjit et al (2016) mentioned that they take
service into consideration in evaluating their level of satisfaction. Hospital facilities and
technical quality both have been mentioned by most of the researchers in their study.

10.0 DATA COLLECTION METHOD AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
The sampling technique used for this research will be the Simple
Random Sampling (SRS) as the respondent will not be clustered into certain
group or any targeted age requirement. Questionnaire will be distributed
9
manually to a number of respondents who had been a patient in Hospital
Klang, Selangor. Hospital Klang has an admission rate of 260 patients daily
which made it more than enough to distribute the questionnaire. It will take
not more than 4 days to complete the questionnaire with the desired number
of respondents.
10
employed respondents of 64.8%, followed by student of 16.8%, the retirees
11.9% and lastly the unemployed of 6.5%. 31.5% of them earns ranging
from RM2001 to RM3000, 29% of them has monthly income ranging from
RM1001 to RM2000, 14.5% has monthly income of below RM1000 and
RM3001-RM4000, and only 10.5% earns more than RM4001. The results
also showed that 61.9% visit the hospital more than five times in a year and
24.7% of them only visit the hospitals when they fell sick compared to 13.4%
that visit the hospital every month for follow-up and checkup.
Correlation Degree of
Variables P-values Conclusion
Coefficients, r Correlation
0.021
Accessibility 0.82 Very strong Significant
P < α = 0.05 (positive)
Hospital 0.005
0.85 Very strong Significant
facilities P < α = 0.05 (positive)
Technical 0.011
0.88 Very strong Significant
quality P < α = 0.05 (positive)
11
From Table 7, P-values for accessibility, hospital facilities and
technical quality are 0.021, 0.005 and 0.011 respectively. The result shows
that all the independent variables P-values is smaller than the value of cutoff
for significance alpha α (0.05). Since the value is smaller than α, Ho is
rejected which shows that there is a significant relationship between
accessibility, hospital facilities, technical quality and patient satisfaction at
Hospital Klang, Selangor. Ha1, Ha2, and Ha3 is accepted for this research.
The results and findings also help the government to create a constructive plan to
help serve the citizen not only with high quality service but also results to high
satisfactions. Through this research also, it would bring down the poor perspective
towards public services once all the factors are tackled and handled with great solutions.
13.0 CONCLUSION
From the analysis made throughout this research, factors that influencing the
satisfaction factors of patients in Hospital Klang is finally determined. The government
can mirror the results obtained and finding a better solution to tackle the dissatisfaction
factor not only in Hospital Klang, but to other government hospital also. Although the
demographic data of other area will be slightly different from this research, the findings
might be useful to assist in improving the healthcare services.

In line with the government moves and commitment towards reaching the
Sustainable Development Goals, it is imperative that this study should be conducted to
achieve the desired goals of SDG3, which some of it are by having access to quality
essential healthcare services and access to safe, effective quality medicine. 2030 is the
year for the government to achieve, and this research is one of the starting points to many
changes that may come in the future.
One of satisfaction factors that are very alarming and need immediate attention is
how the technical qualities of our Doctors in government hospitals is affected. Over the
years, there are more good Doctors leaving the public for private Hospitals as they offered
better pay. Government is left with very young and inexperienced Doctors to treat many
patients daily which cause overcrowded due to the accessibility and cheaper options.
14.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The government also might need to review the Doctor’s scheme in order to prevent
them from leaving the public service once the contract has ended. By offering more
benefits, it will make them to stay in service, which will maintain and preserve the technical
quality of government hospital doctors. By doing so, the satisfaction would be increase
due to lower doubts of incompetency towards them during treatment and consultations.
