'Photovoice', a community-based participatory research methodology, uses images as a tool to deconstruct problems by posing meaningful questions in a community to find actionable solutions. This community-enhancing technique was used to elicit experiences of climate change among women in rural Nepal. The current analysis employs mixed methods to explore the subjective mental health experience of participating in a 4- to 5-day photovoice process focused on climate change. A secondary objective of this work was to explore whether or not photovoice training, as a one-time 4- to 5-day intensive intervention, can mobilise people to be more aware of environmental changes related to climate change and to be more resilient to these changes, while providing positive mental health outcomes.
“摄影之声”是一种基于社区的参与式研究方法,它利用图像作为工具,通过在社区中提出有意义的问题来解构问题,以找到可行的解决方案。这种促进社区发展的技术被用于了解尼泊尔农村妇女的气候变化经历。当前的分析采用混合方法,以探索参与为期4至5天的聚焦气候变化的“摄影之声”过程中的主观心理健康体验。这项工作的第二个目标是探讨作为一次性4至5天强化干预的“摄影之声”培训,能否动员人们更加意识到与气候变化相关的环境变化,并在提供积极心理健康结果的同时,对这些变化更具适应力。
