照片之声是一种定性研究方法，人们通过图像（摄影、图画或绘画）捕捉、表达和交流他们对重要问题的经验和观点，最终目标是提高认识和引发社会变革。照片之声受到参与性行动研究方法、女权主义理论、保罗·弗莱雷的批判教育学和摄影理论的影响。 Photovoice 的明确目的是在 20 世纪 90 年代初收集声音以倡导结构性社会变革，大约 15 年后开始在与社会药学研究相关的项目中应用。社会药学领域的第一个 Photovoice 研究旨在了解患者的用药体验。光声也已被纳入干预措施中，主要侧重于提高对药物治疗的依从性。然而，在社会药学研究中，仍然有充分发挥照片语音的赋权和解放潜力的空间。本文简要介绍了 Photovoice 的理论基础，为其适当的方法和伦理实施提供了指南，旨在为未来的社会药学研究项目提供灵感，其中还包括之前发表的三项研究，这些研究使用 Photovoice 来理解、提高认识并引发社会变革，以在需要药物治疗时促进更好的生活。
Photovoice is a qualitative research method where people, through images (photography, drawings or paintings), capture, represent, and communicate their experiences and perspectives about issues that are important to them with the final goal of raising awareness and triggering social change. Photovoice is informed by participatory action research approaches, feminist theory, Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy, and the theory of photography. Developed with the explicit purpose of gathering voices to advocate for structural social change in the early 1990s, the application of Photovoice in projects related to social pharmacy research started approximately 15 year later. The first Photovoice studies within social pharmacy aimed at understanding patients' experiences with their medications. Photovoice has also been integrated in interventions mainly focused on enhancing adherence to pharmacological treatments. There is still, however, room to fully unfold the empowering and emancipatory potential of Photovoice within social pharmacy research. This article briefly presents the theories underlying Photovoice, a guide for its appropriate methodological and ethical implementation, and with the aim to serve as inspiration for future social pharmacy research projects, it also includes three previously published studies that used Photovoice to understand, raise awareness and trigger social change to facilitate better lives when in need of pharmacological treatments.
