한국은 2009년 의료관광을 국가의 신성장동력산업으로 선정하여 외국인 환자 유치활성화를 위해 정부차원에서 뒷받침을 해왔다. 그 결과 의료관광을 목적으로 한국을 찾는 외국인 환자가 증가하였고, 중국과 러시아 환자가 상위를 차지하고 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 중국인 환자와 러시아 환자의 한국에서의 체험을 알아보고, 이들이 원하는 정보 요구와 체험한 활동의 만족도를 국적별로 파악하였다. 자료는 2015년 2월 1일부터 3월 15일까지 방한하여 의료서비스를 받은 중국, 러시아 국적의 환자를 대상으로 하였고, 유치 등록기관을 통해 우편조사를 실시하였다. 경험 측면에서는 중국은 뷰티제품이나 피부관련 제품을, 러시아 환자는 식료품 구매나 웰니스 관련 서비스를 더 많이 체험하였고, 두 국적 모두는 한국전통음식을 가장 많이 체험하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 뷰티 제품에 대한 정보 요구도가 높았으며, 중국인이 한국전통음식에 대해 많은 정보를 얻기를 원하였다. 관광 명소 방문경험에서 만족도가 높았고, 그 다음은 의료경험이었다. 전반적인 만족도는 러시아 환자가 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 중국, 러시아 외국인환자들의 실제 체험, 정보요구, 만족도를 확인하였으며, 추후 이를 반영한 컨텐츠를 개발하는 것이 의료관광객 유치에 도움이 될 것이다.
