This is the first study to evaluate photovoice in the context of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A patient and caregiver centered research tool was utilized to gain a greater understanding of challenges faced when living with ALS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eight patients and three corresponding caregivers participating by taking photographs, writing descriptive text, and participating in individual and group interviews.

Despite the devasting impact of ALS, the majority of participants reported a surprising amount of positivity in the face of receiving this difficult diagnosis, and demonstrated incredible creativity and adaptability to meet the ensuing loss of function. However, patients and caregivers discussed feelings of isolation and health care system challenges. The importance of hope was a strong and recurring theme.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The photovoice research tool demonstrates the profound resilience of these participants, and challenges the medical community to find ways of fostering positivity and hope throughout the ALS disease course. Further clinic and community resources, education, and supports are needed to combat the sense of isolation and health care system challenges experienced by patients and their caregivers.<\/jats:p>\n
