Professor Sung Hae Kim's research lab specializes in nursing science with a focus on improving patient and caregiver outcomes across chronic illness, cancer survivorship, and disaster preparedness. The lab investigates psychosocial and psychometric factors such as self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and quality of life in diverse nursing populations, including caregivers of individuals with Parkinson’s disease and breast cancer survivors. A key direction involves developing and validating culturally adapted assessment tools, such as the Korean version of the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale, to enhance nursing education and practice. The lab also emphasizes evidence-based interventions and core competency training in oncology and critical care nursing.
Figures are computed from collected data and may differ slightly.
Rehabilitation nurses should identify caregivers at high risk in order to improve their quality of life. Nurses should assess education program needs and caregiving appraisal of caregivers of individuals with Parkinson's disease and develop a customized intervention program.
In undergraduate nursing education, it is important to identify and manage factors that affect clinical practicum stress. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of Nun-chi, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and nursing professionalism in the development of an educational strategy for undergraduate nursing students.
The BLESS intervention improved CRF in BCS immediately at post-intervention, and this study presents clinical feasibility for the management of CRF in BCS in the early survivorship phase who are already experiencing fatigue.

The results of this study can be used for training and evaluation of core competencies for nursing cancer patients, and for standardizing nursing practices associated with chemotherapy.
Nurses are very important healthcare providers in disaster situations, and from undergraduate nursing students to professional registered nurses, such practitioners should focus on strengthening their disaster-response-related self-efficacy and competency. The purpose of this study was to develop a Korean version of the Disaster Response Self-Efficacy Scale (DRSES-K) and evaluate its psychometric properties. The DRSES was translated into Korean and developed based on the translation and adaptati

Fourteen studies were selected. The risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studi
Purpose: Clinical reasoning, which is based on an understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases, is a core nursing competency that involves analyzing patient-related data and providing appropriate nursing practices. Simulation-based education is effective in improving clinical reasoning competencies and communication skills. This study evaluated the effectiveness of virtual simulation-based learning in improving the communication skills and clinical reasoning competencies of und
The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate the measures used for assessment of posttraumatic growth (PTG) for women survivors with breast cancer and to evaluate the psychometric properties of each instrument. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify measurement instruments used for assessment of PTG using electronic databases such as KoreaMed, DBpia, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. Studied published both in Korean and/or English were included f
Based on the results of this study, intervention strategies need to be implemented to support the inner growth of women who have experienced recurrent miscarriages.
