This descriptive research used a cross-sectional approach. Univariate analyses and bivariate analyses (the Chi-square test) were used. According to the results, there was a significant relationship between the perception of empathy (p = 0.017), responsiveness (p = 0.015), and assurance (p = 0.006) with service utilization. There was no significant relationship between tangible perception (p = 0.099), or reliability (p = 0.062) by using outpatient services. Although a relationship was found in some but not all of the perceptions of patients related to the dimensions of service quality, the quality of service should remain a priority, and it is hoped that future researchers will investigate other influencing factors.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> perception, service quality dimensions, service utilization</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={KnE Life Sciences}, author={Idealistiana, Lia and Ciptaningsih, Wuri}, year={2022}, month={Feb.}, pages={610–618} }
