Objective: This study aimed to analyze the literature on the use of photo elicitation in children and adolescents with chronic diseases and identify the benefits derived from using this method and considerations for its implementation.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Databases of CINAHL, PubMed, CiNii, and Ichushi Web were searched for relevant studies.
Results: Nine studies were extracted, and photo elicitation was used to understand and gain knowledge about the experiences of children living with chronic diseases. Its advantages included stimulating and clarifying children’s memories. Among the nine studies, seven used the method in which the child took the images. In this method, the researcher explained the contents of the image, number of images, and precautions to observe when taking images.
Conclusion: Photo elicitation is a useful research method; however, portrait rights and privacy must be protected.
