Her research program centers on international nursing with specialized focus on cultural determinants in global nurse anesthesia practice and simulation-based education methodologies. She investigates how cultural frameworks shape anesthesia delivery systems, particularly through her extensive work on South Korean nurse anesthesia evolution, while simultaneously developing innovative simulation curricula for clinical training. Her scholarship bridges transcultural healthcare ethics, economic analysis of anesthesia services, and educational effectiveness in high-stakes clinical environments.
Analysis of her 2017-2019 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory examining systemic factors in nurse anesthesia across cultural contexts, with particular emphasis on South Korea's professional development. Her work demonstrates consistent integration of cultural competence frameworks with practical anesthesia education and ethical decision-making, while recent publications increasingly incorporate health economics perspectives into clinical practice evaluation.
