Amekor's research focuses on how emotional intelligence and sensing serve as critical tools in nursing practice. Her work bridges traditional healthcare with innovative theater techniques to enhance caregiver effectiveness and patient outcomes. She explores how caregivers perceive changes before technological indicators, emphasizing that enthusiasm in care creates meaningful differentiation in healthcare quality.

Her publications demonstrate consistent focus on emotional perception in clinical settings, with her 2019 work establishing foundational concepts about intuitive assessment in nursing. She has developed specialized training methodologies that integrate drama-based elements to improve communication and team dynamics.

Amekor maintains active professional engagement through numerous training programs offered to healthcare institutions across Germany. Her Äthebiset project, developed with Prof. Dr. Michael Bossle, applies theatrical methods to nursing education, helping trainees develop both professional skills and self-care strategies while maintaining their enthusiasm for the profession.
