“…did this by memo-writing during coding, focusing on connections between codes and changes over time, and through reflective discussions with co-authors. 32 As M.K. began to code data, it became apparent that Banks et al's types of co-impact could overlap, something which Banks et al also highlighted.…”

Conceptualizing impact in community-based participatory action research to engage communities in end-of-life issues

Background: A health promotion approach to end-of-life (EoL) care is gaining traction internationally. However, there is a lack of evaluations of the impact of this approach, particularly regarding community-based initiatives. Conceptualizations of impact in participatory action research (PAR) may contribute to understanding ways in which impact can be investigated in community-based health promotion approaches to EoL issues. We aim to investigate impact and the process of impact development in our community-based PAR project, Studio DöBra, a Swedish health promotion initiative to engage communities in EoL issues. Methods: We do this through a qualitative framework analysis expanding on Banks et al.’s theory of co-impact in PAR, based on longitudinal empirical data of Studio DöBra. Studio DöBra was developed in partnership with a range of community organizations and engaged children (9 years old) and older adults (most 80+) with topics related to dying, death, and loss through arts activities. The analyzed empirical data reflect the perspectives of community-partners and academic partners from interviews and meetings spanning 4.5 years. Findings: We present a model of impact development consisting of impact on individual and group development, action-oriented impact, and strategy-oriented impact; ways they relate to and evolve from one another; and how they may be affected by contextual influences. Conclusion: Besides contributing to conceptualizations of impact in PAR, findings contribute a community perspective to the limited literature investigating the impact of health promotion initiatives related to EoL issues.

“…One of the prime developers of QLL methodology Saldaña (2003) has advocated on the inclusion of visual methods within QLL studies, as "visual images, whether still or in motion, provide some of the richest and most tangible data for accessing change through time" (p. 25; also see Chapter 12 of this volume). Visual images, and especially photographs, can be uniquely informative about time and place because their particular properties (e.g., facial expressions, gestures, clothes) evoke an era, linking people to historical epochs about which they have no experience.…”

“…Longitudinal study has the unique potential of allowing for planning in data collection, including in the long term, making it possible to follow through an interest in topics through times of change. In QLL interview studies it is also possible to take advantage of initially unforeseen opportunities and serendipity; the flexible approach to devising actual questions and interviewing style means that adaptations can be made to meet the needs of research situations as they are encountered at moments in time (Farrall, 2006;Holland, Thompson, & Henderson, 2006;Saldaña, 2003).…”

“…Moreover, whenever there has been sustained methodological discussion of how to generate, maintain, and analyze longitudinal data sets, this has generally focused exclusively on large-scale quantitative methods. When qualitative longitudinal (QLL) study has been discussed, it has appeared to be an intriguing but minority interest among the possibilities that such methods offer for studying time and change (Saldaña, 2003).…”

“…Conducting interviews with experts allowed us to gain in-depth understanding of their views and experiences in light of their 'specific knowledge' [37]. In addition, taking a longitudinal approach with residents, where the same individuals were interviewed on multiple occasions at different time points, meant that participant accounts could be collected as biographically transformative experiences (such as moving house) were lived through [38], enabling exploration of change over time [39]. Bringing together these expert and resident perspectives enables us to explore how developers' decisions impact on resident experiences, highlighting practical insights relevant for future Active Home developments.…”

Active Buildings can contribute to efforts to address decarbonisation and climate change targets, and have the potential to support social aspirations for technical and infrastructural change. Yet achieving such goals is challenging. Active Homes as a type of Active Building represent a particularly interesting prospect; altering how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed, but also how homes are designed, constructed, and lived in are studied. Active Homes are designed with expectations of how residents will engage with them, but residents do not always live in the homes in ways envisaged by developers. Hence, there is a risk that the homes will not be experienced as comfortable living environments, or otherwise perform as anticipated. Thus, understanding resident perspectives is crucial to the successful wider rollout of Active Homes. We draw on social science research with designers, developers, and residents to explore expectations of life in an Active Home. Our longitudinal research design enables us to contrast early expectations with post-occupancy experiences, elucidating what residents consider to be successful aspects of Active Home developments. Our research reveals instances where expectations remain unfulfilled, or where living in the homes has been experienced as challenging or disruptive. In highlighting such insights, we offer recommendations relevant for future developments.
