Study Team

Dr. Oyesanya is an Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing. Her research program centers on care of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in acute and post-acute treatment settings, as well as support of their family caregivers. Her current research focuses on transitional care needs of patients with TBI, with an emphasis on improving patient and family quality of life post-discharge and self- and family-management of care.
 
Dr. Oyesanya earned her BSN, MSN, and PhD in Nursing from University of Wisconsin-Madison. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Brain Injury Research at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA. Her research has been supported by federally- and internally funded awards. Dr. Oyesanya is actively involved in several professional organizations, including serving as Chair of the Mentoring Task Force and Chair-Elect of the Career Development Networking Group of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and as a member of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses and the International Brain Injury Association.
HyunBin “Binnie” You, MSN, RN, is a PhD student at Duke University School of Nursing. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. She practiced as a registered nurse in the medical intensive care unit (ICU) from Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.
 
Her research focuses on the trajectory of recovery in patients and family caregivers after critical care and transitions in care after their discharge from the hospital. Her long-term goal is to build a career in research investigating transitional care, which reduces negative patient experiences in the ICU, maximizes their resilience, and makes their transition easier so that they can establish and maintain their quality of life after critical care.
