Abstract
FERNANDES, Carla Sílvia; FERREIRA, Fátima and MARQUES, Goreti. The use of the Photovoice methodology to determine the concept of family which nursing students have. av.enferm. [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.1, pp.59-68. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v36n1.63988.
Objective:
this study describes the use of the Photovoice methodology to provide nursing students with a more profound understanding of the concept of family.
Methodology:
is the study employed a participatory action methodology involving 33 nursing students. Photovoice was used to collect data which helped to define the concept of family: the sessions were recorded and transcribed. For the analysis, we triangulated the data with the photographs, using Atlas-ti version 8.0 software.
Results:
four main themes emerged from photographs and recordings: The concept of family from the student's perspective, My family, Family functions, and What I see in this picture.
Conclusion:
the study helped to spread the use of Photovoice, a tool still little used in nursing studies. It also highlighted the importance of family care in nursing, through the conceptualization of what a family is.
