Solim Lee earned her Ph.D. in Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021 and currently serves as a tenure-track assistant professor of Nursing at Penn State. Her research is dedicated to understanding self-care practices among adults with chronic heart failure, aiming to prevent unplanned hospitalizations. She meticulously collects and analyzes observational research data, including patient-reported outcomes and clinical data from electronic health records, to explore the intricate factors influencing symptom perception and decision-making processes related to seeking care.
Dr. Lee’s expertise extends to designing and conducting research studies that encompass quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches, drawing from her research projects. She has worked on a pivotal project profiling the characteristics of patients who frequently visit the emergency department to manage exacerbations of heart failure symptoms. This endeavor involved analyzing data from a nationwide electronic health database, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of intravenous diuretics.
Research Interests
- Cardiovascular health
- Self-care strategies practiced by adults with chronic heart failure
- Symptom science, specifically symptom perception and management
- Patient-reported outcomes
- Health disparities between rural and non-rural areas
My research fundamentally aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with chronic heart failure. Through investigating various self-care strategies and understanding the complex process of symptom perception and management, I hope to provide insights that can lead to more effective interventions. These interventions have the potential to prevent or reduce the incidence of unplanned hospitalizations, a common issue for individuals with chronic heart conditions.
