“…This technique has not been widely used in occupational therapy. Nonetheless, the technique may be useful for eliciting more rich and nuanced data about how and why clients' participation and performance have changed through time, particularly where changes in the performance may occur slowly and the reasons for the changes may be difficult to articulate (Cross, Kabel, & Lysack, 2006). Further research is needed to investigate the application of the method in this context.…”

“…Moreover, dialogue-based methods, such as interviews, may not be seen as “accessible” for certain groups (Affleck, Glass, & Macdonald, 2012). Understanding how people integrate chronic illness self-management involves examining the implicit or taken-for-granted assumptions, value judgments, and perceptions that shape how chronic conditions are managed (Cross, Kabel, & Lysack, 2006). One method that has been successfully used to examine such dynamics is the use of photo methods either alone or in conjunction with other research methodologies (Harper, 2002; Lorenz, 2011).…”

Background How people integrate self-management into daily life remains underexamined, and such processes are difficult to elicit through traditional approaches used to understand human occupation. Purpose This paper will provide a brief overview of one visual research method, photo elicitation, that holds promise for studying self-management of health behaviours and will present findings from an analysis of how the use of photo elicitation interviews contributed additional insights into self-management beyond those generated from the data collected through the other methods used in the study. Method A qualitative, multiple-methods, multiple-case study was conducted with a purposive sample of 10 low-income women ages 40 to 64 with type 2 diabetes. Findings The photo elicitation interviews contributed insights beyond those generated from other study methods about how individuals viewed their self-management behaviours and how occupations changed across time. Implications Photo elicitation is a valuable research method for better understanding clients' chronic illness self-management practices.

“…One of the most significant findings of this review, therefore, is that there is little "consensus about how [visual] methods should be used," (Cross, Kabel, & Lysack, 2006), and even less consensus about the component parts of the methods, or even the names of the methods themselves. This complaint appeared repeatedly across disciplines and time periods.…”

Abstract:Although visual methods are emerging as a valuable and versatile tool in qualitative social studies research, confusion around terminology, options, and best practices persists. Consequently, LIS scholars who wish to employ innovative visual approaches in their research face barriers to discovering and deciding which visual options best suit their goals. Based on a review of the literature, this article identifies and describes the scope of participatory and nonparticipatory visual methods currently in use in the social sciences, with particular attention paid to LIS contexts. While visual methods bring clear benefits to qualitative research in terms of data quality, modes of expression, and alternate perspectives, challenges remain, including logistic issues of implementing visual study designs and ethical considerations.

“…Examples of using visual materials in the study of health and illness include Guillemin (2004) who used drawings to examine the ways in which women understood and experienced heart disease and menopause; Cross et al (2006) used drawings to explore images of self and spinal cord injury and Broadbent et al (2007) used drawings in their study of psychological and functional status in heart failure. Radley and Taylor (2003a,b) used photographs taken by patients to explore their experiences of their time in hospital; Frith and Harcourt's (2007) used photographs to study women's experiences of chemotherapy.…”

This study explores experiences and understandings of people who have engaged with the process of recovery from alcohol or drug problems over a long period of time. Although there is a large body of research studies on recovery, few have examined long-term recovery from a qualitative perspective. The participants in this study were women who have not used alcohol or drugs for 15 years or longer and who described themselves as 'in recovery'. They have been involved with AA throughout this time. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews in conjunction with participants' drawings. Participants' accounts suggest that their involvement with AA activities and processes over a long period evolved into habitual actions which became interwoven into their ordinary daily activities. It is suggested that the qualitative approach of IPA can be seen as complementing and illuminating quantitative studies. This study can provide a basis for future studies using larger samples or different groups and move towards making more general claims.This study explores experiences and understandings of people who have engaged with the process of recovery from alcohol or drug problems over a long period of time. Although there is a large body of research and empirical data on the short-term effectiveness of various treatment approaches, the majority of these studies have follow-up periods ranging in length from 1 to 24 months (Laudet et al. 2002). Laudet and White (2008, p.28) maintain that 'findings from most studies speak to recovery initiation only, not to the challenges and processes involved in achieving and sustaining long-term recovery' [italics in original]. In addition, they contend that most of the research is mainly focused on treatment outcomes, Int
