ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to use photovoice to explore first-generation student experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and its influence on their social isolation, as well as what contributed to or alleviated their social isolation.

PARTICIPANTS:

Nine undergraduate students who identified as first-generation and who experienced feeling socially isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic were included in this study.

METHODS:

In this study, participants were recruited via purposive sampling. Moreover, semi-structured interviews that incorporated the SHOWed technique were conducted with participants. In addition, First & Second Cycle Coding was used to help analyze participant interviews.

RESULTS:

A total of 11 themes emerged from this study that depicted their experience of feeling isolated, as well as what contributed to and alleviated their isolation.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study highlights the importance of capturing first-generation students' experiences to help lessen the influence of social isolation among this group and ensure their academic success.
