About
Jae Eun Heo is a dedicated researcher in the fields of spinal cord injury rehabilitation and caregiver health, with a particular focus on the intersection of aging, caregiving, and disability. Her work illuminates the often-overlooked challenges faced by caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injury, examining how the type and duration of care activities contribute to caregiver burden over time. In her most-cited study, "Caregiver burden according to ageing and type of care activity in caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injury" (2023), Heo provides critical insights into how aging caregivers experience distinct physical and emotional strains depending on the nature of their care tasks—such as mobility assistance versus medical management. This research has already garnered 8 citations, signaling its growing impact on clinical practice and policy discussions. By highlighting the nuanced needs of this population, Heo’s work informs interventions aimed at sustaining caregiver well-being and improving long-term outcomes for both caregivers and care recipients. Her contributions are particularly valuable as the global population ages, making her research essential for developing more supportive, evidence-based care systems.
