Abstract：
This article examines a recent research project that explored the lived experiences of 5 final year social work students in Scotland who graduated during the coronavirus pandemic. The project used Photovoice as the primary data collection method, followed by a 3 hour long online focus group where the participants and the researcher worked collaboratively to identify themes for further analysis. The findings demonstrated that while the data collected by participants through the photographs and captions were highly personal to each participant, there were recurring themes that connected all of them which were identified broadly as; (dis)connection, closure and identity - all of which were discussed in great detail in a virtual focus group after the data was collected. This article focusses predominantly on the Photovoice method adopted for the study and how this was an effective method for participatory research. This article also focusses on how the pandemic affected the transitionary period between the participants\' identity shift from students to professionals. This study followed the principles of Participatory Action Research which meant that participants and the researcher worked together to cultivate and analyse the data collected and the findings that are discussed here reflect this collaborative process. As this report is being written, numerous new studies, reports and predictions as to the pandemics impact on our collective mental health emerge daily and so it is hoped that this project will serve as a small time stamp as to how the pandemic impacted this small group of students in Scotland and will honour their stories, creating a lasting space for them to be heard among the ever-increasing bombardment of news.
摘要：
本文研究了最近的一项研究项目，该项目探索了在冠状病毒大流行期间毕业的苏格兰5最后一年社会工作学生的生活经历。该项目使用Photovoice作为主要的数据收集方法，随后是一个3小时长的在线焦点小组，参与者和研究人员合作确定主题以进行进一步分析。研究结果表明，虽然参与者通过照片和字幕收集的数据对每个参与者来说都是高度个人化的，有反复出现的主题将所有这些主题联系在一起，这些主题被广泛地确定为；(DIS)连接，关闭和身份-所有这些都在收集数据后在虚拟焦点小组中进行了详细讨论。本文主要关注该研究采用的Photovoice方法，以及该方法如何成为参与式研究的有效方法。本文还重点介绍了大流行如何影响参与者身份从学生转变为专业人士之间的过渡时期。这项研究遵循参与行动研究的原则，这意味着参与者和研究人员共同努力培养和分析收集到的数据，这里讨论的发现反映了这一合作过程。在撰写这份报告时，许多新的研究,关于流行病对我们集体心理健康影响的报告和预测每天都在出现，因此希望这个项目将作为一个小时间戳，说明流行病如何影响苏格兰的这一小群学生，并纪念他们的故事，为他们创造了一个持久的空间，让他们在不断增加的新闻轰炸中被听到。
