Shu-Yuan Liang is currently a nursing professor at the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences in Taipei, Taiwan. Her research includes symptom management, pain management, and self-efficacy, which have contributed to nursing science and benefited patients with cancer and chronic conditions. These studies have resulted in more than 60 data-based papers being published in peer-reviewed, international journals. Communities and hospitals have adopted several evidence-based interventions developed by our research team. Nurses in these hospitals are trained to deliver these interventions, including opioid-taking self-efficacy programs for patients with cancer pain. Through research, our team has enhanced the impact of nursing on the prevention and management of chronic illness in Taiwan and beyond.
