Faiqatul Hikmah, Hari Basuki Notobroto, Shrimarti Rukmini Devy, Erwin Astha Triyono
Abstract
Provider Initiated HIV Testing and Counseling (PITC) is an HIV test offered by health
professionals to patients as an initial diagnosis of HIV and a facility for obtaining HIV
medication. Patient satisfaction helps assess the communication pattern between the client,
the healthcare provider, and the healthcare manager. This study was conducted at 30 public
health centres with 120 patients to determine patient Satisfaction concerning PITC, assessed
through Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) analysis. Then, the public health centre prioritized
the importance-performance analysis (IPA) method in a Cartesian chart. The result obtained
a 66,73% CSI value, meaning the PITC offered was relatively not good. The education level of
patients and HIV test results correlate with patient Satisfaction with PITC services. Health
professionals could optimize PITC service by improving the service quality by explaining
that the HIV test was confidential, asking for the patient's consent before taking any action,
and defining the phase of HIV growth thoroughly until it converted into AIDS
