Abstract

Background: The Health-Promoting Hospital (HPH) aims to improve the overall quality of health services for patient, families, and the community as a whole, with assessment and intervention as the essential components. In hospitals, this activity needs to be vigorously developed through interdisciplinary teamwork, shared decision-making process, and by involving patients and families during treatment and through the delivery of an evidence-based health promotion process. Previous studies analyzed some steps to improve patient loyalty through the HPH. However, limited studies were carried out on its useon-commein the public sector. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the impact of HPHs to improve patient loyalty in the public sector. Design and Methods: The simple random sampling method was used to obtain data from 101 respondents in a public hospital, with the cross-sectional design used to gain a better understanding of patient loyalty. Results: The result showed that HPHs influenced patient expectations (P=0.030), which in turn affected perceived value (P=0.014) and satisfaction (P=0.002). In addition, perceived value and satisfaction have effects on patients’ loyalty (P=0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, HPHs have a positive impact on patient loyalty. Therefore, the public sector needs to enhance its services in accordance with the standards and guidelines.
