About

Yea-Ing Lotus Shyu is a leading scholar in nursing and healthcare technology, whose research focuses on the integration of robotics into clinical settings and its impact on nursing workforce dynamics. Her work critically examines how robotic systems influence nurses' time pressure, missed care, and turnover intention, offering vital insights into the human-technology interface in healthcare. In her highly cited two-wave study (2022, 23 citations), Shyu demonstrated that the effort required to ensure robots' smooth operation paradoxically increases nurses' time pressure and turnover intention, moderated by robot performance. Her follow-up work (2022, 14 citations) further explored how robot benefits and maintenance shape nurse-robot engagement, revealing key factors for successful technology adoption. Shyu's contributions are foundational to understanding the psychosocial and organizational consequences of healthcare automation. By highlighting the hidden labor costs of robotic assistance, her research informs hospital administrators and technology designers on how to optimize robot implementation to support rather than burden nursing staff. Her work is essential reading for researchers and students interested in healthcare innovation, human factors, and the future of nursing practice.
