METHODS: A structured questionnaire was used to survey for 81 Russian inpatients. The survey was conducted from January to June, 2014. RESULTS: Empathy and assurance significantly influenced nursing service expectation and satisfaction. Nursing service expectation was statistically significant for the number of visit to Korea, and nursing service satisfaction was statistically significant for gender, monthly income and primary care giver during hospitalization.
