본 연구는 일제강점기 미남장로교 간호선교사인 엘리자베스 쉐핑 (Elizabeth J. Shepping, R. N. 한국명: 서서평, 1880~1934)의 간호선교활동을 간호학의 관점에서 정리하고 일제 강점기 한국여성의 삶과 한국간호의 역사적 사실을 살펴보고자 하였다. 쉐핑의 간호선교는 주로 광주 제중병원, 군산 구암예수병원, 세브란스병원을 중심으로 환자간호와 소외된 한센환자를 방문하여 헌신적인 간호활동을 전개하였고 질병예방을 위한 지역사회 보건간호활동을 펼쳐나갔다. 또한 억압되었던 여성의 인권을 회복시키기 위해 여성교육과 간호사 양성에 힘썼고, 인간의 영혼구원을 위해 복음사역에 최선을 다하였다. 또한, 일제의 압제에 눌려있는 한국을 세계무대에 올려놓기 위해 조선간호부회를 창립하였다. 성공이 아니라 섬김'이라는 좌우명에 기초한 쉐핑의 삶은 전인적 돌봄의 간호선교였다.
