“…Due to restrictions imposed by the current COVID-19 pandemic, participants with access to electronic communication tools will be preferred. 46 47 We anticipate the recruitment of participants with access to electronic communication tools will cause bias in the study results. However, in view of the improved COVID-19 situation in Malaysia and the ability to conduct fieldwork with strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), this bias may be minimised by conducting the study at the study sites and via face-to-face interviews.…”

Exploring the key anthropological drivers of and barriers to zoonotic malaria preventative behaviour in a community exposed to Plasmodium knowlesi infection in Malaysia: protocol for a qualitative study with a participatory research design

et al. 2022

IntroductionPlasmodium knowlesi malaria is a zoonotic mosquito-borne disease with complex epidemiology. According to the WHO, the prevention and control of vector-borne diseases require community participation to increase coherence between malaria interventions and sustainable public health programmes. We describe a participatory research (PR) design for a study aimed at exploring the key anthropological drivers of and barriers to zoonotic malaria preventive behaviour among communities exposed to P. knowlesi infection in Malaysia. Participatory approaches can facilitate policymakers in designing future zoonotic malaria control programmes by investigating community perspectives and concerns about zoonotic malaria in a local context.Methods and analysisThe PR will be conducted over a period of 12 months, from March 2022 to March 2023, among adults (>18 years old) who are permanent residents in a rural village exposed to P. knowlesi malaria in Sabah, Malaysia. We will select patients who were diagnosed with P. knowlesi infection from January to December 2021 for focus group discussions (FGDs), as they can provide perspectives on the disease from the point of view of those previously diagnosed with infection. In-depth interviews (IDIs) with people of importance in the community, such as village heads, will also be conducted. Both FGDs and IDIs will be conducted from March 2022 until June 2022. Concurrently, a photovoice with adults over 18 years old who reside in the community will be conducted. The target sample sizes for FGDs, IDIs and photovoice are 6–8, 12 and 10–15 participants, respectively. We will use a study framework as a theoretical lens to guide the exploration of the beliefs, social contexts, barriers and drivers surrounding zoonotic malaria preventive behaviour.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the Medical Research and Ethics Committee Ministry of Health Malaysia (NMRR ID-21-01980-JEH) and the Research and Innovation Secretariat, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (FF-2021-462). All participants will provide consent prior to participation. The results will be reported in international peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences and on other platforms.

“…No son muchos los estudios que se han encontrado publicados en los últimos años en los que se haya trabajado con el Photovoice como herramienta pedagógica en el ámbito de ciencias de la salud (Andina-Díaz, 2020;Coronado et al, 2020;Fernandes et al, 2018;Gallagher & Stevens, 2015), así como en otras disciplinas (Malka, 2021;Von Sommoggy et al, 2020). Los resultados de este estudio ayudan a dar consistencia al Photovoice como herramienta válida para tal fin.…”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable groups through the gaze of nursing students: an educational project with Photovoice Abstract: Introduction: New teaching strategies for higher education suggest integrating dynamic methodologies. Thus, university students' critical thinking can be actively worked. Reflective photography or photovoice has been used in the educational field to form knowledge about the social context. Goals: To develop an educational project where critical thinking is promoted in nursing students using photovoice. Methods: Participatory Action Research, specifically photovoice. The educational project was carried out in three different geographical areas: nursing students from the University of León (Spain), Alicante (Spain) and Southampton (United Kingdom). The chosen topic was the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on lower socioeconomic groups and ethnic minorities. The students accessed the community context and photographed this impact. Each photograph was accompanied by an explanation (narrative). Then, a discussion group was conducted in seminars where they analysed the photographs/narratives qualitatively, establishing categories. Photographs were selected to represent each category. Finally, a photographic exhibition was built to promote reflection at the community level. Results: 84 students participated in the project. The categories "hunger", "homeless", "disadvantaged neighbourhoods", "working in the streets", "silence in the streets" and "ethnic minorities" emerged from the data and served as a thread for students to reflect on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on these vulnerable groups. Conclusions: This educational project, which used the photovoice tool, showed how critical thinking was promoted in students across different countries. Photovoice seems to be an original, simple, and inexpensive tool to encourage university students' critical thinking regarding the social and cultural dimensions of health. This is relevant since they are the future promoters of community health changes.

“…Researchers required methods that would allow "direct" access and document meaningful life experiences, perspectives, and priorities (Santana et al, 2021). Some authors (Malka, 2021a(Malka, , 2021bSy et al, 2020) suggested photovoice for remote data collection. Photovoice is participatory action research that combines participants' photographs and voices (Rodrigues et al, 2008;Wang & Burris, 1997) to document life experiences, needs, difficulties, and desires in photographs that are discussed in critical reflection.…”

Summary The COVID-19 pandemic is a continuing public health crisis, although it has lessened in its intensity since the start of worldwide vaccination programs. In aged care facilities, gerontological social workers have become frontline professionals facing multiple challenges and demands. One year after the first COVID-19 case in Portugal, during the second major lockdown in the country, and with vaccination starting in these facilities, a photovoice program to identify the experiences of these professionals was developed. This study aimed to understand how gerontological social workers foresee the future of practice and intervention with older adults. A thematic analysis was conducted based on the photographs and associated narratives from 10 participants, all female, aged between 22 and 35 years, who attended a program’s session. Findings Three themes were identified with the thematic analysis: (1) personal and professional growth (with renewed life perspectives and increased resilience), (2) reinvention of intervention (with improved management of emotions, teamwork, and alternative ways of intervening), and (3) hope to use the lessons learned (hope that vaccination will bring conditions to recover the older adults’ well-being and opportunities to use the good lessons learned). Applications These findings are relevant to inform policymakers and governments about practices in aged care facilities and to improve the training of gerontological social workers in acute action management and intervention. We stress alternative ways of intervening that came up in the response to the pandemic such as emotional management, digital technology, communication strategies, self-care, or the families’ involvement.
