Photovoice是一种行动研究方法，人们创建/与利益相关者分享照片，以产生个人和社区的变化。在这项研究中，有心理健康问题的人使用photovoice来探索城市环境中社区参与的问题。确定的职业领域包括与朋友共度时光，日常生活任务和管理症状。促进社区参与的因素包括获得支持、交通和交朋友。限制参与的因素包括污名化、无家可归和药物副作用的风险。职业治疗干预的含义包括通过发展友谊/支持和解决症状管理的持续需求来支持参与者的社区参与。
Photovoice is an action research methodology in which people create/share photographs with stakeholders to generate personal and community change. In this study, people with mental health issues used photovoice to explore questions about community participation within an urban environment. Identified areas of occupation include spending time with friends, daily living tasks, and managing symptoms. Facilitators to community participation include access to supports, transportation, and making friends. Factors limiting participation include the risks for stigmatization, homelessness, and medication side effects. Implications for occupational therapy intervention include supporting participants' community participation by developing friendships/supports and addressing the ongoing demands of symptom management.
