About the Lab
Professor Hyeshin's research lab specializes in health promotion, patient-reported outcomes, and quality of life across diverse populations, with a strong focus on aging, chronic illness, and preventive health behaviors. The lab investigates health-related quality of life, symptom clusters, and psychosocial factors in older adults, cancer survivors, and young adults, integrating both quantitative and emerging digital health methodologies. A key research direction involves exploring the impact of technology—such as AI—on health education and clinical decision-making, particularly in nursing and adolescent health contexts. The lab also examines family and cultural influences on health knowledge, parenting intentions, and preventive behaviors across different life stages and migration statuses.

The integration of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT into educational frameworks marks a pivotal transformation in teaching. This quasi-experimental study, conducted in September 2023, aimed to evaluate the effects of artificial intelligence-assisted learning on nursing students' ethical decision-making and clinical reasoning. A total of 99 nursing students enrolled in a pediatric nursing course were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group that utilized ChatGPT and a contro
Abstract In this cross‐sectional, descriptive study, we compared the sociodemographic characteristics, social networks, health‐promoting behavior, and the health‐related quality of life of older Korean adults living in South Korea to those of older Korean adult immigrants living in the USA. A total of 354 older adults, aged 65 years or older, participated.

PURPOSE: This study examined the literature concerning the burdens of parents of preschool-aged children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: We employed an integrative review methodology based on Whittemore and Knafl's framework. The literature search was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines across four electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, the Cumulative Index to Nursing Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and Psy
Healthcare providers, who regularly assess for negative thoughts and unmet needs among survivors, may identify symptoms of psychological distress, intervene early, and facilitate better outcomes for their patients. Patient-centered interventions aimed at coping with psychological distress are most helpful.
This study analyzes the impact of economic and spatial factors on the economic return on Korean road projects, using meta-regression models and Monte Carlo simulation. This paper finds that the internal rate of return (IRR) is negatively affected by the distance and land acquisition cost (LAC) in urban areas while it is positively related to the population density, ratio of manufacturing workforce to total workforce, and LAC in rural areas. In addition, net benefits can be generated if a road le
BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making is essential for improving infant prognoses. Medical staff should consider the effect of illness uncertainty and self-efficacy on parents' perceptions of shared decision-making. AIMS: This study examined the impact of illness uncertainty and self-efficacy on the perception of shared decision-making among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. STUDY DESIGN: A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study design was used. Data were collected from
본 연구의 목적은 초기 치매의심노인을 위한 통합적 노인놀이치료 프로그램을 개발하고 이의 효과성을 평가함에 있다. 통합적 노인놀이치료 프로그램은 개별프로그램이 갖는 한계를 극복하기 위해 다양한 프로그램을 통합적으로 구성하여 이루어졌으며, 프로그램은 노인놀이치료과정을 수료한 노인놀이치료사가 발간된 매뉴얼에 따라 진행하였다. 연구대상자는 서울시 소재의 데이케어센터와 요양원 등에서 재가서비스를 받고 있는 65세 이상의 초기 치매의심노인 55명이었다. 자료수집은 노인놀이치료사가 2014년 12월부터 2015년 3월까지 사전과 사후로 나누어 설문지를 배포하고 수거하여 이루어졌다. 연구결과 조사대상자들의 우울정도와 인지기능 강화에 유의미한 개선을 보인 것으로 나타나 통합적 노인놀이치료프로그램은 노인에게 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 관계측면에서는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났지 않았다. 향후 초기 치매의심노인을 위한 프로그램과 관련된 논의를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
