Visual storytelling is a new research approach drawing on established methods of photovoice and photo elicitation. It appears well suited to research with young people. We explored the feasibility of this approach, reflecting on benefits and challenges encountered while using it during a study of chronic disease self-management in adolescents. During in-depth interviews, 68 participants were questioned about the value of visual storytelling. Thematic analysis was applied. Visual storytelling was valued for (a) being a draw card during recruitment and increasing positive feelings about the research; (b) being fun; (c) promoting self-understanding; and (d) promoting expression, communication, and focus during interviews. Deciding what to photograph was difficult. More time and effort was required by researchers than for a standard qualitative interview study. The technique facilitated rich interviews, drawing into focus details of young peoples' lives that otherwise might not have been discussed.
视觉叙事是一种借鉴既定的照片发声法和照片引发法的新研究方法。它似乎非常适合针对年轻人的研究。我们探讨了这种方法的可行性，反思了在一项青少年慢性病自我管理研究中使用该方法时遇到的益处和挑战。在深度访谈中，68名参与者被问及视觉叙事的价值。采用了主题分析法。视觉叙事的价值在于：(a) 在招募过程中具有吸引力，并增强对研究的积极感受；(b) 有趣；(c) 促进自我理解；(d) 在访谈过程中促进表达、交流和专注。决定拍摄什么很困难。与标准的定性访谈研究相比，研究人员需要更多的时间和精力。该技术促进了丰富的访谈，使年轻人生活中的细节成为焦点，否则这些细节可能不会被讨论。
