Background: Due to globalization, an increasing number of international visitors comes to China. The needs of their medical care are understudied, which can cause low patient satisfaction and lead to poor clinical outcomes for the clients. To meet those international clients' medical care needs, hospitals in China are seeking strategies to improve services.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore international clients' medical care experiences in China, and their perceptions of the quality of these international healthcare services.
Patients and Methods: In May 2020, focus group interviews with 24 clients and four healthcare professionals were conducted in the international clinic at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (SRRSH). In the client group, 24 representatives of international clients from nine countries were invited and divided into three groups to discuss healthcare needs of international clients who seek healthcare in China. Four healthcare providers, including two nurses and two physicians who usually serve in the international clinic, were also interviewed. Data were analyzed using hybrid inductive/deductive thematic analysis.
Results: Six major healthcare needs of international clients were identified, namely: needs for privacy and confidentiality; effective communication; multicultural sensitive care; pleasant environments; qualified care and procedures; and respect. International healthcare is a complex process for both international clients and healthcare professionals.
Conclusion: The government and institutional administrators around the world should construct the policies and protocols and integrate cultural competence, communication skills, and privacy and confidentiality protection into health professionals training program to ensure the quality services in the international clinics.
Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.
