“…PAR has several strengths, including bridging the gap between theory and practice (Buul et al 2014) and providing the opportunity to generate new caregiver-specific, contextual and systemic knowledge in a co-creative way (Baum 2016;Greenhalgh et al 2016). However, our experiences showed that PAR is time-and resource-consuming, as was also experienced by Young (2006). Due to the complexity of our programme, multiple iterative cycles were necessary.…”

Complex public health programmes may suffer from 'teething problems' during their implementation in practice, especially when programmes are developed top-down without the participation of end-users and service providers. Trying out and optimising a new concept in practice with stakeholder´s participation may enhance the programme´s chance of success. In this article we describe the participatory optimisation process of a German primary prevention programme for stroke caregivers, performed before its full-scale implementation.

“…First, as noted, this is an orientation and not a specific methodology. Thus, there are a variety of ways in which PAR can be carried out, which can result in individuals viewing PAR as "soft" science, entailing less rigor (Young, 2006). However, Danley and Ellison (1999) provided suggestions on maintaining rigor in PAR through researchers exploring their conscious or unconscious goals in the project, having honest conversations among the team (including both the research members and the community members), and ensuring all members have training and supervision throughout the process.…”

An increased understanding of research methodologies that can examine the outcomes or processes in counseling—as well as be inclusive of marginalized voices—is important in the counseling field. Understanding the components and interventions that are effective in counseling can help counseling professionals provide services that are more efficacious. Additionally, marginalized client voices are needed in scholarship, particularly in counseling process‐ and outcome‐based research; thus, it is imperative to utilize a variety of research methods, including emergent, qualitative methodologies. We review Q methodology, participatory action research, and photovoice, including each method's utility and application to counseling, procedural aspects, and critiques and recommendations. Compared with other research methods, these methods cater more toward the inclusion of marginalized voices by incorporating action steps toward change based on the findings.

“…These choice points can be functional for informing, consulting, involving, collaborating and empowering the participants (Vaughn & Jacquez, 2020). In a nutshell, participatory research methods are expected to fulfil the double goals: knowledge creation and change in real-world action democratically and collaboratively (Young, 2006). The researchers must deeply engage the stakeholders and also the community at each stage of the research process which eventually benefits the participants for collective wisdom and change.…”

Participatory action research, as other qualitative methods. like phenomenology, ethnography, narrative inquiry, autoethnography, and case studies, has emerged as a distinct field of study and established itself as a research design in the field of social sciences and education. This methodological conceptual paper presents a review of participatory action research papers highlighting their meaning, purpose and use in research along with their definitions, the process of conducting research through participatory action research as a methodology, its guiding principles, strengths, weaknesses and challenges, applications, misconceptions and analysis of previous studies through participatory action research in various disciplines and contexts. This paper also highlights how participatory action research elevates the marginalized communities involved in the research process, solves their workplace problems and transforms their identities throughout the research by reviewing a few sample studies through participatory action research. The findings show that participatory action research has been immensely used in the social sciences and educational research for creating new knowledge as well as improving the existing situation. This paper might provide some significant insights into understanding and employing participatory action research to the teachers, teacher educators, and researchers who opt for using research as part of their academic degrees.
