Engaging citizens living in vulnerable circumstances in research: a narrative review using a systematic search

et al. 2021

Although public engagement in research is increasingly popular, the involvement of citizens living in vulnerable circumstances is rarely realized. This narrative review aims to describe and critically analyse concerns and corresponding strategies, tools, and methods that could support the inclusion of these citizens in health research. The 40 studies that are included were thematically analysed using the socioecological model. Concerns originate most often on the intrapersonal level of the socioecological model, but concerns were also identified at institutional, community, and policy levels. It is thought-provoking that there is a lack of attention for the research and policy structure in which engagement practices are designed, implemented and evaluated. More research is needed to explore how these cultures could be changed in a way that promotes rather than restrains the engagement of citizens living in vulnerable circumstances in research and policymaking.

“…Co-creating vlogs is a form of participatory video – an often-studied, popular participatory methodology used to engage people in disadvantaged situations (Adams, 2010; Gubrium et al, 2014). It is the collaborative process of creating videos that incorporates art, storytelling, poetry, music and/or drama and that aims to document and involve participants in (social) issues, reveal hidden social relations, communicate knowledge and stimulate collective action (Benjamin-Thomas et al, 2018; Lunch & Lunch, 2006; Milne et al, 2012; Roberts & Lunch, 2015).…”

Fun, engaging and easily shareable? Exploring the value of co-creating vlogs with citizens from disadvantaged neighbourhoods

et al. 2022

The use of vlogs is promising in participatory action research (PAR) that aims to enhance the health and well-being of citizens. Vlogs have the potential to reach a wide audience, transcending the local scale of PAR. This article aims to explore the value of co-creating vlogs by investigating two exploratory studies involving adolescents and women from disadvantaged neighbourhoods. We reflected on the co-creation of vlogs by community members and professionals. The results show that co-creating vlogs enabled meaningful engagement of citizens living in vulnerable circumstances and promoted shared learning. Community members who were not involved in the vlog creation were critical of the vlogs. However, watching the vlogs stimulated discussion and reflection. Therefore, dissemination of vlogs in a setting guided by a professional seems to have the potential to facilitate shared learning. Despite the popularity of vlogs, this study highlights the need to carefully consider the use of vlogs in relation to a study’s aims and to respond to (ethical) concerns.

“…DST has been described as: A participatory digital methodology (Benjamin-Thomas et al, 2019), an innovative participatory method (Lal, Donnelly, & Shin, 2015) a participatory media genre (Alexandra, 2015) a participatory visual methodology (PVM) (O'Donovan et al, 2019), and an arts-based research method (de Jager, Fogarty, Tewson, Boydell, & Lenette, 2017;Rieger et al, 2018). Furthermore DST has been described as a participatory arts research method and as a model for co-production or co-design (de Jager et al, 2017;De Vecchi, Kenny, Dickson-Swift, & Kidd, 2016;Guse et al, 2013;Hardy & Sumner, 2018;Lal et al, 2015) This section considers the place of DST as situated alongside other established research methods that use the art of photography and video with participatory, transformative and emancipatory intent.…”

“…Benjamin- Thomas et al, (2019), in their recent paper on the contribution of participatory digital methodologies to the expansion of occupation science, highlight that participatory methodologies are particularly relevant in enacting a transformative intent for research participants, in keeping with characteristic 5 of ICPHR 2013however they do not make a distinction between participatory research and participatory visual research, my question is therefore, what is it about the visual aspect, other than having the potential to foster enjoyable engaging spaces for research participants, that makes it worth going to the trouble of making things in a participatory research context? A consideration of Participatory visual methodologies is therefore warranted.…”

Personal storytelling for wellbeing; form, content and process

Nature and scope: This enquiry examines personal storytelling in the form of the practice of digital storytelling. Digital storytelling is seen as a craft, a creative making practice. The enquiry examines what impact engaging in this practice has on wellbeing. It is a practice based enquiry which draws on art and design research methods and considers the many facets that the author brings to the table, including her identity as a maker and occupational therapy educator and especially, the way her own engagement with making enabled personal, transformational learning and recovery from mental illness, shame and grief. The purpose of the enquiry is to bring these new insights back to occupational therapy and science. Contribution to knowledge: Knowing through making, as conceptualised through art and design research methodologies, has the potential to enable occupational therapy and occupational science to realise the original intensions of its founders. A study of the collaborative process of digital story telling has offered a worked example of this. Comparing and contrasting digital story telling with other collaborative making practices uncovered what digital story telling is and what it is not. Digital story telling is a high-status craft. The key to understanding its potential impact on wellbeing is to understand it as a craft – a making practice. Further, the potential impact on wellbeing is determined not by the process or properties of digital story telling itself, but by the care and attention to the detail of the experience and how connections between the people involved are made. A digital story telling workshop is a non-generalisable event, unique to that time and place and those people. What digital story telling is not, is an ideal method of co-production. Its uses as a participatory arts-based research methodology has been well documented, but I contend that the ideal collaboration is one where the team is assembled first. I propose The crystal model of transformational scholarship in human health and wellbeing which sets out how this may be accomplished.
