Video-reflexive ethnographers seek to forge critical relationships with participants who are active partners in the research; working with the researcher to video practices of interest and then collaboratively reviewing the footage. Video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) requires both parties to be open and vulnerable to i) the uncertainty created by such research relationships, and ii) scrutinising footage and confronting their own practices and behaviours. A small body of literature exists on researchers’ experiences of doing VRE research including the methodological and ethical challenges they have faced, and descriptions of the use of researcher reflexivity to create and maintain productive research relationships. There has been little empirical research, however, on the experiences of participants who have engaged in VRE research. This presentation offers insights regarding patient participants’ perceptions and experiences of being involved in a VRE study aimed at exploring and supporting patient involvement in infection prevention and control. The findings presented may inform researchers’ future approach to VRE research with patients and recommendations to enhance patients’ research experiences will be made.
