The Experiences of Female Student Service Members and Veterans as Depicted Through Photovoice

Pages 171-194 | Published online: 25 Jan 2022
 

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the experiences of female college student service members and veterans (FSSM/V).

Methodology: Photovoice was employed through photographs, interviews, and focus groups.

Results: Analysis revealed that FSSM/V experience both supports and poses barriers to their academic success, including challenges associated with balancing role demands, experiences of stress necessitating coping strategies, social disconnection from traditional undergraduates, and positive experiences of support from FSSM/V peers.

Limitations included a relatively small sample size that was lacking in diversity.

It was concluded that FSSM/V have distinct attributes and experiences that present strengths and needs relative to academic success and wellbeing.
