Abstract

Background: The use of photo-elicitation interviews (PEIs) has increased in popularity across a range of disciplines including healthcare. Although qualitative researchers have embraced PEIs as a creative way to explore people's experiences of their lives and environments, the methodological and practical aspects of using photographs have received little attention in the literature.

Aim: To discuss the use of PEI techniques, including sourcing and using photographs.

Discussion: The authors discuss definitions of photo-elicitation, and explore the value of and difference between using photographs taken by the researcher and those taken by participants. They consider methodological issues in the context of a small-scale focus group study that used PEIs to explore young women's conceptualisations of teenage and older motherhood.

Conclusion: Using photographs in research is far more complex than providing participants with cameras or presenting them with photographs. Researchers must be aware of the potential bias in the choice, selection and sequencing of photographs, as well as the methodological considerations associated with PEIs.

Implications for practice: This article highlights the value of using photographs in qualitative research and presents some of the methodological issues that nurse researchers need to consider when designing and conducting research using photographs.

在定性研究中使用光激发时的方法学问题的考虑。
背景:在包括医疗保健在内的一系列学科中,使用启发式照片访谈(PEIs)越来越受欢迎。虽然定性研究人员已经接受了pei作为一种创造性的方式来探索人们的生活和环境的经验,但使用照片的方法和实践方面在文献中很少受到关注。目的:讨论PEI技术的使用,包括寻找和使用照片。讨论:作者讨论了photo-elicitation的定义,并探讨了使用研究者和参与者拍摄的照片的价值和区别。他们在一项小规模焦点小组研究的背景下考虑方法问题,该研究使用PEIs来探讨年轻妇女对少女和大龄母亲的概念。结论:在研究中使用照片远比向参与者提供相机或展示照片要复杂得多。研究人员必须意识到在选择、选择和排序照片时的潜在偏见,以及与pei相关的方法学考虑。对实践的启示:本文强调了在定性研究中使用照片的价值,并提出了一些方法问题,护理研究人员在设计和使用照片进行研究时需要考虑。
