Recovery-oriented psychiatric care
Mental health recovery is about recovering, reclaiming and rediscovering one's life when it has been affected by illness, care and treatment.
One focus of the research conducted in the field of recovery-oriented psychiatric care is to explore, develop and evaluate recovery-oriented approaches and interventions in psychiatric inpatient care. The goal is to contribute to a psychiatric care that is person-centered, resource-focused, collaborative and learning. We are interested in understanding and describing nursing as a reflective practice and investigating how experience-based knowledge can contribute to research and development in psychiatric care. We also conduct research that focuses on issues of competence, learning and education in relation to psychiatric care and related contexts.
Completed research projects have, among other things, focused on alternatives to coercion in psychiatric inpatient care, personal and professional responsibility in psychiatric inpatient care, recovery-oriented reflection groups in psychiatric care and nursing in connection with acute mental illness in unaccompanied minors.
The research is conducted in collaboration with national and international academic partners, health care services in regions and municipalities, and organisations that gather and represent people with personal experience of mental illness. The research environment is an important part of the research superstructure for courses and programs at undergraduate and graduate level.
