“…Using photographs (not pre-existing photos, but photographs taken by students, as in our study), some authors (6,24) concluded that participatory photography encourages Nursing students to critically interoperate about culture and values. In the same way, but explicitly using the Photovoice methodology, in other research study, the students took photographs and reflected on different concepts of Nursing care (13) .…”

Objective: to explore the potentialities of the Photovoice methodology to stimulate critical thinking on Social Determinants of Health. Method: an exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, using different steps of the Photovoice methodology. Nursing students obtained photographs in their community, showing Social Determinants of Health, analyzed and classified the photographs, and exposed the results in the Nursing school. The students answered a questionnaire writing their perceptions. The data collected from the questionnaires were qualitatively analyzed. Results: 91 students participated in the study. Two main categories emerged from the data: Photovoice is a good methodology to stimulate critical thinking on Social Determinants of Health, and Photovoice is a good methodology to stimulate other skills (expressing beliefs and perceptions, stimulating creativity, developing research skills, strengthening ties with colleagues, and attracting attention). Conclusion: we explore the potentialities of the Photovoice methodology. It can be an original, simple and economical tool to stimulate critical thinking on Social Determinants of Health, and to stimulate other skills. Photovoice can be considered in teaching about aspects related to health/care in Nursing students, in order to promote critical thinking of future agents for a change in health.

“…7 It has been adapted for use in higher education as a pedagogical tool to engage learners through observation and reflection. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The expressive properties of photovoice can serve as a new critical reflection tool to contribute to the understanding of our humanity in a global health setting. 5 Photovoice participants are encouraged to observe their environment; capture a point in time through photography; and reflect, analyze, and describe their image both orally and in writing with a caption.…”

Objective. To engage health professions students in a photo and caption sharing methodology to stimulate reflection and inculcate principles related to global health at a formative time in training. Methods. Undergraduate and graduate students from multiple colleges enrolled in a course that would prepare them for an in-country global health experience. As part of the course, participants took photos to illustrate one of three topics: global health ethics, interprofessional practice, or social determinants of health. The iterative and participatory photovoice process was used for students to analyze, discuss, and reflect on their work in country and upon return. Final photos with captions were displayed online. Researchers analyzed photos and captions using content analysis to identify unifying themes. All students were required to complete the photovoice assignment, but only those who gave informed consent were included in the qualitative analysis. Results. Twenty-six students were included in the analysis. Two overarching themes emerged: revelation and adaptation. Revelation encompassed novel elements that surprised the students, including differences and similarities between the United States and Ecuador. Coded segments related to adaptation discussed participants' resourcefulness while challenging work environments, and how they would apply this new perspective to their future practice in the United States. Conclusion. This global health photovoice project provided a unique medium for reflection for health care trainees. This project enhanced our understanding of the learners' perspectives and this new means of expression offered the learners a greater opportunity for deeper reflection. The assignment also revealed gaps in learning related to social determinants of health and areas of concern related to solidarity and privilege.

“…Visual participatory methods have been well documented as a useful data collection method within the fields of education for nursing students (Garner, 2014;Kronk et al, 2015), as well as in child and young adult education for students in their school communities (Torre & Murphy, 2015). In this discipline, photo-elicitation can be used as both a research tool, and as a pedagogical tool.…”

The purpose of this paper is to report on how reflexive photography can enhance communication of the complexities involved in student professional identity formation. A cohort of pre-registration nursing students were situated within a major teaching hospital for the duration of their tertiary degree. Three of these students participated in the combined data collection methods of (i) photo elicitation (photographs), (ii) photo feedback (analytical, reflective captioning) (collectively, 'Visual Participatory Methods' 'VPM'), and (iii) a follow-up individual, semi-structured interview. The strength of using VPM were that place-based memories became more vivid and evoked emotions. Discussions were more in-depth and insightful by using photographic depictions and accompanied reflections. Such pairings can be valuable when investigating the role of places in professional identity formation. The findings of this study support the argument for a more integrated and consistent, sociocultural approach to learning and teaching for nursing students.
