Research Interests: Chronic heart failure affects elderly patients through physical limitations and emotional distress. Yu's work explores gender disparities in illness perception and the role of stress models in patient adjustment. Her systematic reviews highlight the need for holistic support systems to improve quality of life.

Key Trends: Recent publications emphasize patient self-management strategies, cultural influences on disease adjustment, and gender-specific coping mechanisms in cardiovascular care.
