Linda Yin King Lee
Prof. Linda Yin-King Lee is a Professor in the School of Nursing and Health Studies at Hong Kong Metropolitan University. She obtained her PhD degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2006. Prof. Lee entered the academic field in 1999, specializing in nursing research and evidence-based nursing.
Prof. Lee is dedicated to nursing and health research, with a mission on developing, sharing, and applying scientific evidence to improve the health of older adults. Her research addresses challenging issues related to ageing in place and dying in place, with a particular emphasis on gerontological care, long term care, healthy ageing, and health behaviours in the older population. Recently, she has been involved in investigating palliative care, end-of-life care, and dying in place. Prof. Lee’s research portfolio demonstrates her ambition to enhance the health condition and address the health issues faced by older adults. Some of her recent research projects include:
- Dirty work: A photovoice study of residential aged care in Hong Kong
- Dying in place and related policy: Knowledge, preference and stages of decision making
- A qualitative study to understand how older residents experience relocation from the existing nursing home to a new nursing home
- Ageing without children: The lived experience of childless Chinese older couples
- Preferences for assistance from domestic robots among older individuals in Hong Kong
Since 2014, Prof. Lee has played a significant role in a territory-wide training programme for health volunteers. Leading a team of academics, she has implemented flexible learning as the pedagogy to provide comprehensive and systematic training to over 3,000 health volunteers. These health volunteers form a strong community network and deliver basic health care support to community-based older adults and individuals with chronic illnesses. The programme has gained recognition from community bodies and has received multiple awards for its valuable contribution to supporting healthy ageing. Prof. Lee’s efforts in promoting health volunteering in Hong Kong are indispensable.
