Dr. Ji Won Shin is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of critically ill patients and their family caregivers. Her research interests include patient-family communication, family engagement in ICU care, and psychological sequelae of critical illness. Dr. Shin's overarching goal is to help patients and families better cope with challenges together during their journey of critical illness to improve health outcomes.

Dr. Shin started her career as a nurse in the medical intensive care unit and then worked as a nurse in the adult psychiatric inpatient unit. The integration of her clinical expertise in critical care and mental health nursing informed her passion for preventing trauma-related mental health problems and promoting the well-being of critically ill patients and their family caregivers.

Dr. Shin is currently funded by the ZOLL Foundation to investigate the trajectories of posttraumatic growth and examine its association with psychological outcomes in intensive care survivors and their family members using a dyadic framework. With this work, she strives to achieve a foundation for developing a dyad-focused intervention to improve psychological outcomes.
