This research aims to 1) assess the impact of photovoice workshops on participants' emotional and social well-being, 2) document the realities of recovery from critical illness through the photos and stories of ICU survivors and their caregivers, and 3) create a virtual photo exhibit to promote awareness of critical illness recovery. The first workshop for caregivers will start on November 6 from 5:30-7:30 PM Pacific.
You will take part in 5 weekly virtual group photo discussion sessions, facilitated by our patient partner. Over this time, you will generate photographs to illustrate your experiences of recovering from critical illness following hospital discharge OR your experiences of providing care for someone recovering from critical illness following hospital discharge. At the weekly virtual meetings, you will share and discuss your photos and the aspects of your experience the photos represent. The content of your photos is up to you. Participants will receive an honorarium as a thank-you for their time and contribution.
