Photography can be an effective addition for education-based telehealth services delivered by an occupational therapist. In this study, photography was used as antecedent to telehealth sessions delivered by an occupational therapist focused on narrative learning about home safety. After taking photographs of past home safety challenges, six participants experienced three web-based occupational therapy sessions. Sessions were recorded and transcribed. Data were examined using content analysis. The content analysis identified the following themes: the value of photos to support learning; the value of narrative learning related to home safety education; and abstract versus concrete learners. Procedural findings are included to support future endeavors. Findings indicate that within a wellness context, home safety education for older adults can be delivered effectively via telehealth when using photography as a part of an occupational therapy intervention.
摄影可以有效地辅助职业治疗师提供的基于教育的远程医疗服务。在本研究中，摄影被用作职业治疗师提供的远程医疗会话的前期手段，这些会话聚焦于关于家庭安全的叙事学习。在拍摄了过去家庭安全挑战的照片后，六名参与者参加了三次基于网络的职业治疗会话。会话被录制并转录。使用内容分析法对数据进行了检查。内容分析确定了以下主题：照片对支持学习的价值；与家庭安全教育相关的叙事学习的价值；以及抽象型学习者与具体型学习者。还包括程序结果以支持未来的努力。研究结果表明，在健康背景下，当将摄影作为职业治疗干预的一部分时，通过远程医疗可以有效地为老年人提供家庭安全教育。
