This presentation will share the experiences derived from using the photovoice methodology to research the lived experiences of place and space in ICUs where voiceless and critically ill patients and their families are cared for (Olausson & Lindahl, 2022). Photovoice, conceptualized by Wang and Burris (1997) is rooted in feminist theory, Freire's educational methods, and documentary photography. At its core, photovoice aims to amplify awareness and actively involve individuals in decision-making processes concerning their community. Whereas traditional research methodologies often adopt a stance of "research on people," photovoice distinguishes itself by transitioning towards "research with people." This participatory approach primarily serves as a tool to empower participants, giving people a voice and platform to share their experiences. In this project photovoice methodology was modified and contextualized specifically for the ICU context to capture the critically ill patients’ lived experiences. However, undertaking photography within the ICU poses its challenges, primarily due to ethical considerations and the presence of patients who may be unable to express their concerns. Yet, this method offers valuable insights into tangible experiences, underscoring the importance of place and space in delivering patient care. This presentation will focus on the theoretical and methodological considerations that arise when employing photovoice within the realm of nursing research and offers practical examples.
