Understanding factors that impact patient access and engagement with biomedical and traditional care for hip fractures in The Gambia: An ethnographic study using a social ecological model
Across Africa, the average age of the population is increasing, leading to a rise in health challenges such as hip fractures. Surgical fixation is the standard of care for hip fracture in older adults. In The Gambia, traditional bone setters (TBS) remain an important source of fracture care, though concerns exist regarding complications. In resource-constrained settings, system constraints may also result in post-operative complications. Currentl…
Traditional bone setter practices and the interaction with biomedical care in the treatment of hip fractures in The Gambia: A qualitative study
A growing ageing population in Africa underscores the need to reorient health systems to provide care for non-communicable conditions impacting older populations such as hip fractures. In The Gambia, the number of hip fractures are expected to quadruple for both men and women in the next 30 years. This is comparable to hip fracture incidence rates in other South and West African countries. Moreover, mortality rates post-hip fracture are 2–3 fold …

Interdisciplinary perspectives on multimorbidity in Africa: Developing an expanded conceptual model
Multimorbidity is an emerging challenge for health systems globally. It is commonly defined as the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in one person, but its meaning remains a lively area of academic debate, and the utility of the concept beyond high-income settings is uncertain. This article presents the findings from an interdisciplinary research initiative that drew together 60 academic and applied partners working in 10 African co…
Improving Experiences of the Menopause for Women in Zimbabwe and South Africa: Co-Producing an Information Resource
Women in sub-Saharan Africa report multiple impacts of menopause on daily life and have requested further information to support themselves. This study co-produced contextually relevant resources—booklets and poster—about menopause with women in Zimbabwe and South Africa. The study was conducted in four stages: interviews with women about the menopause; the development of prototype information resources; workshops with women to discuss country-sp…
Financial Challenges of Cancer for Adolescents and Young Adults and Their Parent Caregivers
This study examined the financial impact of cancer and the use of income support in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer and their parent caregivers. As part of a national Australian study exploring the psychosocial impacts of cancer, 196 AYAs ages 15 to 25 years, six to 24 months from diagnosis, and 204 parent caregivers from 18 cancer sites were surveyed. Logistic regression and chi-square analyses were conducted to assess the influe…
From photographs to findings: Visual meaning-making and interpretive engagement in the analysis of participant-generated images
Although the use of visual research is gaining increased acceptance, there remains a lack of attention directed to how to rigorously analyse visual images. A framework of ‘interpretive engagement’ is proposed to describe analytic processes for meaning-making of participant-generated visual images. The ‘interpretive engagement’ framework comprises three stages of meaning-making; these are meaning-making through participant engagement (Stage 1), th…
Exploring ethical frontiers of visual methods
Visual research is a fast-growing interdisciplinary field. The flexibility and diversity of visual research methods are seen as strengths by their adherents, yet adoption of such approaches often requires researchers to negotiate complex ethical terrain. The digital technological explosion has also provided visual researchers with access to an increasingly diverse array of visual methodologies and tools that, far from being ethically neutral, req…
Parenting a child with cancer: Perceptions of adolescents and parents of adolescents and younger children following completion of childhood cancer treatment
Objective: Research examining the impact of childhood cancer on parenting is limited. This qualitative study explored perceptions from adolescents and parents of the impact of childhood cancer on parenting 2–5 years post-end of treatment. Methods: Fifty-seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with: (a) 14 parents of preadolescent children (the ‘parents of children’ group); and (b) 21 adolescents and 22 parents of adolescents (the ‘adolesc…

Collecting Data or Creating Meaning
Plagued by doubt and methodological unease, two researchers from a large Australian study resolve their quandary by revisiting methodological literature related to narrative inquiry, visual approaches and contemporary interviewing to find that the application of poststructuralist theory to methodology provides a useful way of addressing their concerns. Before embarking on extensive writing about the project, they trouble issues of data authentici…
Questions of process in participant-generated visual methodologies
There is an increasing literature on visual methodologies in which images are generated by participants as part of the research, as distinct from the analysis of existing images or images taken by the researcher. Although there are growing numbers of publications that present frameworks for analysing images and their meaning, this is an area requiring further deliberation and consolidation. Our contribution is to give serious attention to the pro…
Visual Storytelling: A Beneficial But Challenging Method for Health Research With Young People
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. Them…
Ethnography Versus Case Study ‐ Positioning Research and Researchers
In this paper we narrate a story of working on a large project funded by an Australian Research Council Linkage grant the ‘Keeping Connected: Young People, Identity and Schooling’ project. The purpose of the study is to consider the social connection and schooling of young people who have experienced long‐term chronic illness. While the research involves both quantitative and qualitative elements, the qualitative component is the largest and invo…

Self-Reconstruction and Biographical Revisioning: Survival Following Cancer in Childhood or Adolescence
Narratives of long-term survival reveal a social process involving complex negotiation of identity issues, future planning and future health concerns which enables survivors to combine both fear and hope in order to develop ideas about an imagined future. Young men and women provided personal accounts, and central to their stories are efforts at biographical revisioning and self-reconstruction, which illustrate that long-term survival throws into…
