About the Lab

Professor Yun Jin Lee's research lab focuses on neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy and demyelinating diseases in pediatric populations, with an emphasis on surgical interventions and disease mechanisms. The lab also investigates brain tumor biology, especially the role of transcription factors like Sox2 in tumor stem cells, and explores patient-centered outcomes in chronic conditions such as pressure injuries and aging-related health satisfaction. A key theme across the research is improving clinical outcomes through early intervention, patient education, and comprehensive care strategies.

SJR Q1PEDIATRICSOA

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of resective pediatric epilepsy surgery for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). METHODS: We analyzed clinical data of 27 children and adolescents who had LGS and underwent resective epilepsy surgery despite abundant (>30% of preoperative interictal and/or ictal epileptiform discharges) generalized or generalized contralateral maximal and multiregional electroencephalogram abnormalities. RESULTS: On high-resolution MRI, cerebral lesions w

SJR Q1The American Journal of Surgical Pathology

Sox2 is a key transcription factor that maintains the proliferation of neuroglial stem cells and inhibits neuronal fate commitment. Moreover, it was recently found that brain tumors contain stem cells that resemble normal neuroglial stem cells in many respects. This study was undertaken to describe Sox2 expression in various brain tumors, and to determine whether Sox2 expression is a universal feature of brain tumors, or whether its expression is limited to a specific lineage of brain tumors.

Medical device‐related pressure ulcer (MDRPU) in acute care hospitals and its perceived importance and prevention performance by clinical nurses
Jungyoon Kim, Yun Jin Lee
SJR Q1International Wound JournalOA

The incidence rate of patients developing pressure ulcers associated with medical device use is underreported in Korea. This study aims to determine clinical nurses' perceived importance and performance towards medical device-related pressure injury prevention. A total of 620 nurses from seven hospitals attending continuing education programmes in Korea responded to self-administered questionnaires. Data were collected from March to December 2017 on a 4-point-Likert scale on nurses' perceived im

은퇴자의 주관적 건강인식이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향: 경제적 노후준비의 조절효과를 중심으로
이윤진, 신혜리, 이민아

본 연구는 50세 이상의 은퇴자들을 대상으로 은퇴자의 삶의 만족도의 영향요인 중 주관적 건강인식과 삶의 만족도의 관계를 살펴보고, 경제적 노후준비가 주관적 건강과 더불어 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 함께 분석하여, 은퇴자들의 삶의 만족도를 향상시키고 건강한 노후준비를 위한 정책적․실천적 방안을 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 이러한 목적에 따라 본 연구는 국민노후보장패널 4차 본조사(2011) 자료에 대해 stata 11.0 및 sas 9.1 프로그램을 이용하여 주관적 건강인식과 삶의 만족도와의 관계 및 경제적 노후준비의 조절효과를 검증하기 위한 다중회귀분석(Multi Regression Analysis)을 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 은퇴자의 주관적 건강인식은 삶의 만족도에 정적으로 유의하게 나타났으며, 둘째, 주관적 건강인식과 삶의 만족도와의 관계에서의 경제적 노후준비가 조절효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 분석결과는 은퇴 이후의 건강인식과 건강관리의 중요성을 제시하고 있고,

Effects of pressure ulcer classification system education programme on knowledge and visual differential diagnostic ability of pressure ulcer classification and incontinence‐associated dermatitis for clinical nurses in Korea
Yun Jin Lee, Jungyoon Kim
SJR Q1International Wound JournalOA

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pressure ulcer classification system education on clinical nurses' knowledge and visual differential diagnostic ability of pressure ulcer (PU) classification and incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). One group pre and post-test was used. A convenience sample of 407 nurses, participating in PU classification education programme of continuing education, were enrolled. The education programme was composed of a 50-minute lecture on PU cla

산재근로자의 재활서비스 이용 욕구와 성공적인 직업복귀: 자기효능감의 매개효과를 중심으로
이윤진, 이다미
http://dx.doi.org/10.16881/jss.2015.07.26.3.3

우리나라 산재보험 제도에서 재활서비스 영역은 산재근로자의 특성을 고려하여 발전을 거듭하여왔다. 특히 2001년의 재활사업 5개년 계획 수립 이후 산재근로자의 직업 복귀율은 점차 향상하고 있다. 하지만 재활서비스 영역의 양적 증가 및 수치화된 직업 복귀율이 실질적인 재활서비스의 발전과 직업복귀의 지속적인 성공을 담보한다고는 할 수 없다. 이에 본 연구는 기존에 거의 다루어지지 않았던 변수인 산재근로자들의 재활서비스 이용에의 필요성 인식, 즉 이용 욕구가 성공적인 직업복귀에 영향을 미치는가에 대한 분석을 통해 현재의 산재보험 재활서비스가 개별적인 산재근로자들의 이용 욕구에 부응하여 운영되고 있는가를 직업 복귀 이후의 직장에서의 생활을 고려한 ‘성공적인 직업복귀’의 측면에서 살펴봄으로써 재활서비스와 직업복귀의 질적 향상을 도모하고자 한다. 본 연구는 제1차 산재보험패널(PSWCI) 데이터를 이용하여 직업복귀를 한 사람들을 대상으로 성공적인 직업복귀에 재활서비스 이용 욕구가 영향을 미치는

Results indicate that nurses have an overall understanding of PUCS & IAD, but low visual differentiation ability regarding stage III, SDTI, and unstageable ulcers. Continuing education is needed to further improve knowledge and visual differentiation ability for PUCS & IAD.
