The Use of Photovoice as a Teaching Strategy for Nursing Students: A Scoping Review

Background: University education has shifted from being professor-centered to student-centered, through the use of new methodological strategies, one of which is Photovoice, which can be especially useful for nursing students. Aims: Review the current evidence on the use of Photovoice as a teaching method for nursing students. Methods: A scoping review of articles published in peer-reviewed journals about use of Photovoice as an educational strategy was conducted using the databases PubMed, Scopus, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, and Web of Science, with no restrictions on language or date of publication. From a total of 343 articles found in the search process, 18 were included for final analysis. Conclusion: Photovoice can be a valuable educational strategy for nurse students, particularly when a holistic student-centered approach that can elicit not only knowledge but also perceptions, attitudes, empathy, community sense, and skills is desired.
