“…The data were collected through photovoice and face-to-face interviews. Photovoice enables marginalised groups, such as HOPs, to be included as equal partners in the research process and was found to be quite effective in resilience research (Hafferjee & Theron, 2022). In implementing photovoice, the participants were offered a choice between whether they wanted to take photos with a cell-phone camera provided by the first author, or if they wanted the photographs taken on their behalf as per their instructions.…”

This qualitative study explores and describes the resilience of homeless older persons in the City of Tshwane, South Africa. Eleven participants, recruited purposively, participated in photovoice activities supplemented with semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed through reflexive thematic analysis and trustworthiness was ensured. Findings indicate that conflict, abuse, family disappointment, unemployment, mental health challenges, declining mobility, isolation and a lack of access to services are risk factors hindering resilience. Religion, support and socialisation, amongst other things, are identified as protective factors enabling resilience. Recommendations for resilience-informed biopsychosocial gerontological social services to homeless older persons are offered to navigate towards better-than-expected outcomes. Keywords: City of Tshwane, gerontological social services, homeless, late-life homelessness, older persons, photovoice, resilience

“…Photo elicitation focuses not only on the collection and explanation of a series of concrete facts about photos, but also elicits deeper, more abstract perceptions and values of respondents as individuals who are involved in the depicted world (Pauwels, 2015). Through the process of sharing and interpreting photos or drawings, participants can make meaning, develop a sense of mastery, experience agency, and self-regulate, all of which reference universal protective mechanisms found to buffer individuals at risk of negative outcomes (Haffejee & Theron, 2018).…”

This community‐based study explored resilience practices among people living with physical disabilities (i.e., stroke, spinal cord injury, and other physical disabilities) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. In this photo elicitation study, during 1:1 interviews, participants shared and described photos that reflected their pandemic‐related experiences. Data were analyzed thematically to identify resilience‐related practices. Our analysis revealed three themes: (1) reflecting on the importance of family, friends, and community (e.g., recalling past memories and strengthening existing connections); (2) engaging in social and recreational activities (e.g., experiencing the outdoors and gardening); and (3) reframing personal contexts and social environment (e.g., adjusting to new social norms and overcoming physical barriers to navigating safely during the pandemic). The resilience that participants identified encompassed not only individual strategies but also family and community supports. Resilience can be fostered through community initiatives that support more equitable responses to health emergencies for people with disabilities.

“…This is not to deny the potential positive effects of producing drawings. Multimodal methods can promote resilience by providing participants with new ways to generate deep insight and make constructive meaning of adversity (Haffejee & Theron, 2018;Theron, 2012;Van Der Vaart et al, 2018). Research interviewing per se is a transformative process, a process that affects participants as well as the community: "Interviews arise out of performance events.…”

Drawings are employed by qualitative researchers in many creative ways, and in many different contexts,and a variety of different terms are used to describe similar techniques. I present here a concisedescription of two basic approaches to integrating participants’ produced drawings into verbal qualitativeresearch interviews, along with characteristic cases of empirical research demonstrating how theseapproaches have been applied. I also provide a list of best practices and I discuss ethical issues. It iscommon for qualitative researchers to mix techniques in order to creatively address real-world researchchallenges. The proposed categorization, augmented by the list of best practices, can help researchers toeffectively integrate drawings and verbal interviews into a multimodal research project.
