Professor Gwang Suk Kim's research lab focuses on promoting health and well-being among vulnerable populations, particularly in the areas of chronic disease self-management, caregiver support, and women's health in multicultural and industrial settings. The lab emphasizes evidence-based nursing interventions, including patient empowerment, urinary incontinence management through exercise programs, and addressing psychosocial stressors such as work and family stress. Research also extends to culturally sensitive health outcomes among immigrant women and the development of valid assessment tools for specific patient populations in Korea.
Figures are computed from collected data and may differ slightly.
The empowerment program can be used to promote family caregivers' positive adaptation and to help caregivers who care for PWD to effectively cope with their problems.

A combined pelvic muscle exercise and yoga program was effective for improving overall urinary incontinence in community health center attendees in Korea. Further study is needed with a control group, different populations, and a longer intervention period.
This study contributes evidence for up-to-date clinical nursing practice for the comprehensive management of urinary tract infection. This can lead to improvements in nursing care quality and patient outcomes, including length of hospitalisation.
Both work stress and family stress should be considered together when addressing the health of working women in the industrial sector in Korea.

Visiting nurses delivered a case management program for 2–8 months. Pretest and post‐test measurements of blood pressure ( BP ), knowledge level, and self‐management level in terms of diet, lifestyl
This study indicates that the areas in which children live may influence the development of certain allergic diseases. Implications include the need to assess geographical location of children with allergic diseases and to develop community-based preventive programs for children with allergic diseases.

A mixed method study design was used, involving five sequential steps: literature review, focus group interview with experienced nurses, in-depth interviews with patients, expert reviews, and a survey of 170 patients. A QPL wi
