On photovoice-Applications and reflections to an intensive care context.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this paper, we share our experiences of using 'photovoice' methodology as a way to generate data in intensive care units concerning the place and space of care. We have adapted and modified 'photovoice' in researching people's lived experiences of ICU. Researching lived experiences in an intensive care context is challenging because of the complex nature of critical care.

Aim

This study aims to explore and discuss photovoice methodolgy in ICU as a data collection method.

Materials and methods

Photos and interviews collected from patients, loved ones and staff collected in a previous research proejct.

Results

Although there are challenges in using cameras and photographing the environment in the ICU, due to ethics and the voiceless patients therein
