Kim Jackson is an Assistant Professor at the Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing, Western University. Her research focuses on improving health outcomes for women, children, and families through rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods. Key areas include maternal care (ante-, intra-, and postpartum), breastfeeding support, and addressing gender-based violence. Her work emphasizes intersectionality and feminism, particularly in rural and marginalized populations.
Education: PhD (University of Toronto) and BScN (McMaster University). She leads studies on trauma-and violence-informed care, including interventions for adolescent mothers in low-resource settings and resilience strategies among abused mothers. Current projects include evaluating breastfeeding policies (Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative) and digital health tools for new parents.
Her 15 most recent articles (2023–2025) highlight topics like maternal decision-making during abuse, art-based healing for violence survivors, and vaccine hesitancy in IPV-affected mothers. Research methodologies span ethnography, scoping reviews, and randomized controlled trials (e.g., iHEAL trial).
Grants and collaborations include cross-continental projects in Rwanda and Brazil, focusing on culturally adapted interventions. She advocates for policy changes to integrate trauma-informed care into maternal and oncology services.
