Preliminary Analysis of Virtual Photovoice Methods Used in Exploring OT Students’ Lived Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 Online Photovoice methods were used to examine the lived experience of OT students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adaptations enabled participation as a means of safely exploring the students’ lived experiences. Participants became coresearchers in the thematic analysis process while exploring feasibility and accessibility of the adaptations. Preliminary thematic results include the importance of attuned facilitators and the role of co-collaboration in the research process.
