معرفی
Kim Jørgensen is an Assistant Professor (20% part-time) in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University, Denmark, affiliated with the Health and Society Research Group. His work centers on mental health systems, recovery-oriented practices, and cross-sectoral collaboration between psychiatric hospitals and municipal services.
His research employs critical discourse analysis to examine mental health policy framing, user involvement mechanisms, and professional implementation challenges. Key themes include the fragmentation of care transitions, discourse constructions of recovery, and power dynamics in interorganizational collaboration. He investigates how healthcare professionals navigate recovery-oriented models within existing structural constraints, with particular focus on Danish mental healthcare reforms.
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate methodological diversity through scoping reviews, qualitative studies, and critical discourse analyses. Dominant trends include cross-sectoral collaboration challenges (38% of recent works), recovery-oriented practice implementation (29%), and user involvement frameworks (22%), with increasing attention to children of mentally ill parents and digital self-harm.
Dr. Jørgensen actively contributes to 9 research projects including the active 2024-2027 study 'Recovery-oriented care in mental health centres for users with severe mental difficulties' and serves as co-supervisor for PhD research on online self-harming behavior. His editorial work includes Nordisk Sygeplejeforskning (2025) and International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2023-2024).
He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams across mental health centers and municipalities, presenting findings at Nordic nursing conferences on recovery-oriented network meetings and professional experiences with cross-sectoral collaboration.
