#OTalk @OTalk_
... and we're off. Hello everyone and welcome to tonight's #OTalk with @preston_jenny at the helm to support @GemmaOTPhD with a truly fascinating topic. Who else is joining us tonight, please say hello and don't forget the #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
Good evening everyone taking part in #OTalk I am looking forward to some interesting discussions about #photoelicitation. Please make sure that you adhere to your Code of Ethics throughout
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just some simple housekeeping before we get immersed in the chat. Please remember to use the #Otalk with all your tweets so that we can summarise the discussion.
@GemmaOTPhD
Q1. What do you consider to be the benefits of using photo-elicitation in occupational therapy research? #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Number 2 , please adhere to the Code of Ethics, this is a professional forum so don't get carried away #Otalk.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Finally have fun #OTalk. Anyone else out there before we get into the first question? Please say hello, even if you are just lurking, you are just as important.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sounds like perfect timing [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello folks! #otalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Absolutely! Do you have any particular barriers in mind? #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sounds like you might have already used this methodology [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD In qualitative research, it is beneficial to see a clear picture of the environments that the subjects are engaged in. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Always great to have some peer support, but we really are a friendly bunch #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @GemmaOTPhD: [REDACTED USER] Absolutely! Do you have any particular barriers in mind? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD It can also showcase the types of occupation the research subjects might have barriers in participating. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT e Good evening @BillWongOT #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just a quick reminder of the first question for anyone joining us #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
@BillWongOT Absolutely, and photo elicitation certainly offers that #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @otalk Then you might have some things to share with us too #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] This is certainly what I found whilst conducting my study. Even those who initially could not see the point of the photographs found that they were a useful focus during conversations #OTalk

@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] This is certainly a benefit of using photographs, although within photo-elicitation there is a requirement for the participants to explore the photographs with you as only they can explain the true meaning. Perhaps written explanations could be an option #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
Let us move on to Q2: What do you think might be the challenges of using photo-elicitation in occupational therapy research? #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
And now for our second question of the night #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD Unlike a video, it is only a snapshot. So it might not capture potential interactions as well as observation or video can. #otalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
@OTalk_ Good evening from The OT Hub Team! Our Student Engagement Lead [REDACTED USER] and LD Lead @CommunityLD_OT are #OTalk regulars. But our Director [REDACTED USER] is a newbie!
#OTalk @OTalk_
@theOThub [REDACTED USER] @CommunityLD_OT [REDACTED USER] Welcome [REDACTED USER], you've picked a great night to join in #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] For some of my participants I was not always sure that it was a positive meaningful occupation. More a case of something they needed to do to take part in the study, the focus of which they were interested in but not necessarily the method of information collection #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] That's an interesting question [REDACTED USER] #Otalk @GemmaOTPhD
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] It's easily done [REDACTED USER], at least you realised #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] It is, although I found that I would become interested in particular images which could have led them down a path which was not particularly at the forefront of their mind when they captured the image #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Has this been your experience @GemmaOTPhD #OTalk @_allisulli

@GemmaOTPhD
@BillWongOT Absolutely, part of overcoming this is the ability of the interviewer to help the individual explore the image (and what surrounds it) #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] No I don't think that they did #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Now that's interesting [REDACTED USER] can you share more about your experiences as a research participant with this methodology #OTalk @GemmaOTPhD
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Good point. It would depend on your methodological approach as to whether this was an issue. In my study I was interested in the lived individual experience (interpretive phenomenology and feminist methodology); therefore the ability to generalise was not a requirement #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Were they your own images [REDACTED USER] #OTalk @GemmaOTPhD
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Absolutely, I was unable to include women in my study that could not use a digital camera #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Hello [REDACTED USER], thank you for joining us #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@GemmaOTPhD Are we ready for the next question now #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Now I'm fascinated but don't want to interrupt the flow of the conversation #OTalk @GemmaOTPhD
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] A key part of photo elicitation is the interview where the participants discuss their photos; the nature of their images (abstract or otherwise) only need to be meaningful to them. Having people take their own photos also means that they choose how they are represented #OTalk

@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] That was the feedback that I received from the women in my study #OTalk

@GemmaOTPhD
@OTalk_ @_allisulli Indeed it has - I think there is less pressure felt in the interview because they have been able to think about what they will discuss in advance and it is easier to speak when you focus on the image and not eye contact #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD @OTalk_ @_allisulli For sure in many cases with autism. Eye contact is a frequent issue with this population when you use them as subjects. #otalk
@GemmaOTPhD
Very interesting discussions going on. Time to move on to Q3. How do you think that the process of photo-elicitation could be used in occupational therapy practice? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Time is disappearing as always so here is our third question for discussion @GemmaOTPhD #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Definitely! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thank you [REDACTED USER] for this helpful reference @GemmaOTPhD #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Yes and I am yet to negotiate all of these in terms of ethical approval. In my study I asked the women not to take photos of other people or personal items that would identify them #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I used that article! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sounds like further endorsement of the value of this paper @GemmaOTPhD #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD Sometimes it can be powerful for motivating the patients to get back to where they once was... in a setting like adult rehab, for example. #otalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In my experience those abstract photos led to some of the most interesting conversations #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Apologies [REDACTED USER], thank you for providing the reference #Otalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] @_allisulli @OTalk_ @Tchamp13 There are some very interesting studies out there that have used photo-voice and I can certainly see a place for it in occupational therapy practice with communities of people #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
I'm aware of the time @GemmaOTPhD are we ready for Q4 #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Indeed, although I was particularly interested in looking at the activities that the women completed when they were at home alone so I was able to justify these restrictions #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
@_allisulli [REDACTED USER] One of the women in my study was given a digital camera after taking part in my study - new occupation! #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
Q4. What factors do you think need to be considered when using photo-elicitation in practice? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Now for our next question, gosh this is going really fast tonight #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
That's a really good point [REDACTED USER], it sounds like it could be easy to lose sight of this crucial difference #OTalk @GemmaOTPhD
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Good point #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Would you believe that we only have 10 minutes left of our #OTalk chat. Let's make the best of the time left for our final question of the night @GemmaOTPhD
@GemmaOTPhD
Gosh, where is the time going?! Q5. How might photo-elicitation be used in your research or practice? #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Thanks @GemmaOTPhD for our final question #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Yes, although part of the process is for them to talk about the images they have captured. However I am now thinking this could be provided in a written format ##OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GemmaOTPhD If family brings pictures to my work setting, sometimes that can promote patients share their stories of their past. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
5 minutes remaining #OTalk @GemmaOTPhD. Time to capture those last insights everyone.
@GemmaOTPhD
Exactly! We can take the opportunity to exploit readily available (for many) technology #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] That sounds like a really interesting approach to take #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @GemmaOTPhD: Exactly! We can take the opportunity to exploit readily available (for many) technology #OTalk https://t.co/WgCAL7Sge2
#OTalk @OTalk_
And that's it, I'm afraid folks. Many thanks to @GemmaOTPhD and all tonight's #OTalk participants for a thought provoking discussion. It's always great to challenge our thinking with new ideas.
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] Yes although this type of technology is favoured by many of varying ages these days so may stretch wider than you think #OTalk
@GemmaOTPhD
[REDACTED USER] It most definitely is, although perhaps we could encourage them to describe the meaning behind their images in greater detail? #OTalk
