Professor Eunyoung E. Suh's research lab focuses on advancing culturally competent healthcare practices, particularly within diverse immigrant populations such as Korean and Asian immigrants in Western societies. The lab investigates sociocultural influences on health behaviors, including breast cancer screening, and develops culturally sensitive research methodologies for qualitative nursing research. It also explores health education innovations, such as mobile applications for nursing student training, to enhance clinical competence and workplace well-being. The lab integrates cultural competence into both research design and clinical practice to improve health outcomes and equity.

The continually renewing epithelium of the intestinal tract arises from the visceral endoderm by a series of complex developmental transitions. The mechanisms that establish and maintain the processes of cellular renewal, cell lineage allocation, and tissue restriction and spatial assignment of gene expression in this epithelium are unknown. An understanding of the regulation of intestine-specific gene regulation may provide information on the molecular mechanisms that direct these processes. In
Becoming a culturally competent health professional is a demanding prerequisite in this multicultural society. Cultural competence is explored and abstracted as a conceptual framework through a concept analysis using the evolutionary method. Its model is constructed from a systemic, comprehensive literature review and analysis. Taking into account how cultural competence is viewed by other disciplines (medicine, psychology, education, and social work), a comprehensive definition, antecedents, an
The growth in Asian immigration and a diversity of Asian populations living in Western English-speaking societies pose many opportunities for qualitative research. Cultural competence is essential to credible qualitative nursing research employing interview data. The purpose of this article is to describe culturally competent qualitative research with Asian immigrants, especially in the design, interview phases, and analysis. Strategies to achieve cultural competence are synthesized within the m
The interactive learner-centered nursing education mobile application with systematic contents was an effective method for students to experience practical nursing skills. Developing and applying a mobile application with other nursing contents that can be effectively used across all range of nursing students is recommended.
Care for nurses in the workplace is necessary for RNs to make their presenteeism experience positive and even effective.
Korean immigrant women, who compose 1 of 6 major subpopulations in Asian Americans in the United States, are reported to have far lower rates of breast cancer screening than do women in general. Despite the sporadically reported cognitive, affective, and environmental constraints to the screening practices, to date, no research has been conducted to investigate the sociocultural contexts within which women in this population seek help for breast health. The purpose of this study is to explore an
Incorporating patients' perspectives into a dietary intervention after gastrectomy for gastric cancer may contribute to improved patient outcomes and quality care.
P6 acupressure combined with counseling by nurses is a safe and easy-to-apply tool in CINV management in practice.
Purpose: Incorporating simulation modalities into nursing education is known to be effective in enhancing education outcomes. Standardizing the nomenclature of simulation modalities and developing a comprehensive conceptual framework for guiding the development of simulation modules are mandated given the prevalence and disorganization of simulation education. This article, thus, was aimed to summarize literature and propose a conceptual framework for structuralizing simulation education in Kore
This study provides comprehensive conceptualizations that encompass individual, interpersonal, and sociocultural components and cover both negative and positive changes in body image from a long-term perspective. This may offer a useful framework that can be used to develop effective interventions for body image improvement and accelerate further research.
This study aimed to compare the fatigue, quality of life, turnover intention, and safety incident frequency between 2- and 3-shift nurses, and analyze their perceptions of the 2-shift system. Participants were 227 nurses working for one year or more in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, South Korea (113 were 2-shift nurses for two months or longer, and 114 were 3-shift nurses with no experience of 2-shift work). The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale (OFER) and Quality of Life Scale were
The Nursing Competency Evaluation system is a promising method because it used mobile technologies and multimedia to appraise students' performance on nursing practicum. It was found that the Nursing Competency Evaluation system with multimedia items is more realistic, interactive and satisfactory compared with text-based mobile test. Thus, we expect it to be used in future nursing curriculums to improve students' nursing competencies.
While intensive care nurses experience unpredicted violence from patients and their visitors, they fail to cope well with the experience. The safe working environment of intensive care units is expected to contribute to quality care and an improvement of expertise in nursing.
This study aimed to determine the degree of alarm fatigue and mental workload of ICU nurses, and to clarify the relationship between these two variables. A cross-sectional, descriptive research design was used. Data were collected from 90 nurses working in four ICUs in Seoul, Republic of Korea, using a questionnaire determining their degree of alarm fatigue and mental workload. Data were collected from 6 March to 26 April 2021 and were analyzed using a <i>t</i>-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correla
