“…Several studies have provided guidelines on how to effectively communicate with ethnic minority communities in times of public health crises such as COVID-19 24 33 36 39 42 46 51–54. It is crucial to consider all relevant languages and communities before developing public health messages, and this information should be easily accessible.…”

ObjectivesThis review examined the factors influencing communication and engagement with ethnic and racial minority groups in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. It aimed to answer two main questions: (1) what communication problems people from these communities typically faced during the pandemic? and (2) what strategies and recommendations were suggested to enhance communication and engagement for ethnic and racial minorities during the current COVID-19 pandemic and any similar events in the future?DesignScoping review.Data sourcesPubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PsychINFO and CINAHL. Grey literature was searched within organisations’ websites and a Google search of key terms.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesWe included original research, case studies, reports (including government and charity reports), systematic and scoping articles and literature reviews in English, published from January 2020 to August 2022.Data extraction and synthesisTwo researchers independently assessed the literature for eligibility and extracted data from the included literature. The selected papers were analysed and summarised into themes relevant to the research questions. The final review included 38 studies combining published academic papers and grey literature.ResultsKey themes relating to communication and engagement issues included a lack of trust in authority, a lack of access to information and ineffective communication channels and a lack of timely and culturally responsive materials. To reduce the issues, the papers spoke about the key role of community organisations to provide local support and community leaders as trusted spokespersons. Lastly, key recommendations to reduce inequity and strengthen future pandemic responses focused on the need for collaborations and consultations, increasing the number of bilingual workers and supporting community-led communication efforts.ConclusionsThe insights gained from the activities and experiences documented in this review during the COVID-19 pandemic should be incorporated into future decision-making and interventions to enhance communication and engagement strategies.

“…Presenting vignettes from interview and other textual data is becoming increasingly popular in several disciplines where qualitative research is used. Vignettes for presenting findings have been applied to experiences of migration and education (Vartak, 2020), institutionalized young people (Soares, 2019), incarcerated adolescents (McCuish et al, 2019), movement in physical education (Lambert, 2020), coaching (Paquette et al, 2019), families who home school (Bower, 2021), ethics of care when working with refugee families during COVID-19 (Keary et al, 2022), refugees’ sense of community (Fader et al, 2020), chronic illness (Maslen & Lupton, 2020) and Cloud computing (Wulf et al, 2021) among others. Spalding and Phillips (2007) also described the different forms a vignette could take, but their description of portrait vignettes as representing “participants’ character and experience” (p. 957) aligns closely with the narrative vignettes developed through these experiments.…”

This paper describes how one researcher learned to overcome artificial intelligence (AI) paralysis and embrace ChatPDF. This freely available AI application uses natural language processing (NLP) to respond to user queries about an uploaded PDF. Researcher insights from experimenting with the AI tool ChatPDF for qualitative data analysis are presented, highlighting the advantages, pitfalls, and application-related considerations. As a two-phase curiosity experiment, the researcher engaged in a theory-building exercise to explore key concepts for understanding when using ChatPDF to assist researchers in qualitative data analysis. The experiment generated insights about the purposeful use of AI tools that incorporate NLP for analysis and the risks of inaccuracy when researchers are not familiar with the data or skilled in prompt engineering. Insights raise questions about whether ChatPDF is a viable research assistant for qualitative researchers, ethical issues with specific forms of qualitative data, and the potential of AI tools for community and student researchers.

“…Keary and colleagues [20,21] report from two perspectives on small-scale Australian research that explores the bridging of the divide for refugee families accessing ECEC. In 2022, Keary et al [21] framed the generated data within an ethics of care framework centered on the conceptual understandings of Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings. They argued that genuinely listening to refugee families was crucial to adopting ethical principles based on feeling cared for and cared about when working with refugee children and their families in ECEC.…”

“…They argued that genuinely listening to refugee families was crucial to adopting ethical principles based on feeling cared for and cared about when working with refugee children and their families in ECEC. In 2023, Keary et al [21] engaged with a postcolonial theoretical framework employing Bhabha's notion of third space to discuss the positioning of refugee families in ECEC in Australia. They uncovered the multilayered complexities of researching with refugee families who are accessing ECEC and the challenges of the research process.…”

The involvement of refugee families in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a complex issue in many countries. In this paper, we explore how early childhood (EC) educators construct refugee families’ sense of belonging in two metropolitan and one regional EC setting in Victoria, Australia. We undertook a multiple case study, analyzing interview data. We implemented Bourdieu’s notion of cultural capital and identity capital, drawing on the Provision Articles from the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) and the Australian Early Years Learning Framework 2.0. Our study revealed the tensions between creating a sense of belonging and recognizing the identity and cultural capital of refugee children and their families as they access ECEC programs. We conclude with suggestions for ways forward to navigate this space, including the need for greater awareness of research on the importance of a sense of belonging for refugee families in ECEC settings.
