ABSTRACT

Video technology is increasingly popular for disseminating research results because its multi-sensory avenues for communication provide richer information than is often available in printed reports. Despite this advantage, issues inherent in video-based dissemination research have not been well articulated in nursing literature. In this article, issues of power, representation, participant autonomy, confidentiality, informed consent, intellectual property, and commercial use and profits are described and critically analyzed. The discussion is contextualized with examples from two original qualitative research projects involving women recovering from eating disorders and adolescents living with diabetes. Recommendations for future video research include giving as much control as possible to participants through negotiation of consent, confidentiality, and copyright ownership issues on an on-going case by case basis.
