Hypotheses	Path	Standardized β	T	Sig.	Results
Hypothesis 1	SQ→PS	0.47	16.73	p < 0.01 (**)	Supported
Hypothesis 2	PS→PBC	0.39	12.98	p < 0.01 (**)	Supported
Hypothesis 3	SQ→PBC	0.44	13.51	p < 0.01 (**)	Supported

Note, SQ: service quality; PS: patient satisfaction; PBC: patient behavioral consent. Significance level: ** p < 0.01.
