My main field of research is oncology nursing, and I am interested in cancer survivorship (adoption of healthy behavior, return to work, self-management, quality of life). I am interested in developing intervention program for cancer survivors for improving their empowerment, considering diverse strategies, facilitators and barriers to improve self-management skill, and factors contributing decision-making related to adoption oh healthy behavior.
I am teaching students oncology nursing and adult health nursing at KNU.
