“…Set against the backdrop of children's rights, approaches to hearing and respecting the 'voice' of children in research have seen a corresponding, and significant shift over recent years (Lundy et al 2011). Taylor and Green (2008) talk of the 'increasing ascendancy' of children in research, who are now regarded as children in their own rights as opposed to mini adults.…”

Participatory research carried out by or with children, has become a well-established and valuable part of the research landscape investigating children's lives, views and needs. So too has a critical agenda about its ethical implications and methodological complexities. One criticism is that the involvement of children who may be considered 'vulnerable' or 'marginalised' has been slower to take root within mainstream participatory practice. This means that there has been less focus on how groups such as disabled children or children affected by abuse or neglect can shape and challenge adult-dominated types of knowledge and decision-making that are likely to affect them. This article reports on the findings of a qualitative systematic literature review of thirteen contemporary papers. The review was undertaken by a UK team in 2017. The included articles explored some core ethical and methodological issues involved in carrying out participatory research with vulnerable children and young people. It reports on three themes: 1) The extent to which participatory spaces could recalibrate opportunities and attention given to marginalised and silenced groups; 2) The ways in which these children and young people could develop skills and exercise political and moral agency through participatory activity, and, 3) How to facilitate meaningful engagement with individuals and groups and reconcile this with a critical appreciation of the important but limited nature of research as means of political and social change. The review provides a unique, contemporary analysis of participatory research with vulnerable children, illuminating in particular its conceptual complexities and contradictions, particularly regarding power, empowerment and voice. Its overall utility and interest is augmented by the disciplinary and geographical breadth of the included articles, rendering it relevant to many contexts and countries.

“…The literature reviews of family nursing research conducted since 1996 have become more sophisticated methodologically and are more often conducted with the same type of systematic rigor that characterizes primary research. Meta-analyses of quantitative studies (e.g., Snethen, Broome, & Cashin, 2006) and systematic integrative reviews (e.g., Luker, Chalmers, Caress, & Salmon, 2007; Pongjaturawit & Harrigan, 2003; Power & Franck, 2008; Taylor & Green, 2008) are now commonplace. There are metasyntheses of qualitative research (e.g., Lindahl & Lindblad, 2011) and even systematic reviews of reviews (Chesla, 2010).…”

“…Diversity. Attending to cultural context can also mean examining the effects of factors such as race and ethnicity (e.g., Biederman, Nichols, & Durham, 2010;Brown & Smith, 2006), religion (e.g., Park & Chesla, 2007), socioeconomic status, gender (e.g., Davis Kirsch & Brandt, 2002;Taylor & Green, 2008), sexual orientation (e.g., Eliason, 1996;Weber, 2009Weber, , 2010, and family structure (e.g., Foli, 2010;Kelly & Ganong, 2011b;Moriarty & Wagner, 2004). In consideration of these contextual factors, family nursing researchers are doing a better job than before, but this is still an area in which more attention must be paid.…”

This article reviews family nursing research published from 1996 to 2011. This is a follow-up to a review published in the Journal of Family Nursing in 1995. Findings from the first review are compared with this one, trends in family nursing scholarship are identified, and predictions and suggestions for future directions are offered. The latest generation of family nursing scholarship is conceptually and methodologically sound, and there is evidence of more multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research conducted by family nursing researchers. Scholars are paying more attention to issues of diversity and family context at present than in the past, although there are still aspects of diversity that need more attention. Strong research programs in family nursing exist worldwide; an international synergism has helped promote rapid expansion of family nursing research and theory development. A vigorous movement to promote research to practice initiatives and greater attention to family interventions are exciting developments.

“…Research on children's experiences is often reported from the adult's perspective rather than allowing children to have a voice (Taylor and Green, 2008). Using young people as researchers has been useful in gaining meaningful insights from respondents of a similar age who have shared common experiences.…”

Young People's Experiences of Going Missing From Care: A Qualitative Investigation using Peer Researchers

Looked after children are significantly more likely than other children to go missing. They face significant risk of harm through, for example, exposure to alcohol, drugs and sexual victimisation. While research identifies some factors which may reduce the likelihood of looked after children going missing, it is recognised that a greater understanding of effective practice is needed. The aim of the study was to investigate young people's experiences of going missing from care and to identify the issues that contributed to them running away; trigger factors that prompted episodes of going missing; support received during or following instances where they went missing; and factors that might prevent future absconding. Research on children's experiences is often reported from the adult's perspective rather than allowing children to have a voice. We therefore recruited two young people to collaborate with the researchers as peer researchers. A qualitative study was undertaken using the Critical Incident Technique. Twenty-eight young people with a history of running away were recruited from different locations in Scotland. They took part in six focus groups, which were held during May 2012. Data were analysed using a framework approach. Four themes were identified regarding reasons for running away: authority and power; friction; isolation; and environmental issues. Commonly cited consequences were being 'grounded' and having shoes removed (to prevent further running away). Young people were critical of a lack of support on return and a lack of boundaries. They stressed the importance of being heard, being treated with respect, being able to exercise autonomy and feeling that someone cares. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. KEY PRACTITIONER MESSAGES:• Looked after children are significantly more likely than other children to go missing.• When missing, young people are exposed to significant risk of harm.• Reasons for running away are: authority and power; friction; isolation; and environmental issues.• Approaches to responding to young people who go missing should be supportive and facilitative rather than punitive.• Being heard, being treated with respect, being able to exercise autonomy and feeling that someone cares are crucial preventative factors.

Abstract: Nursing practice and research needs to account for all potential health issues, of which gender may often be important.
