Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, social isolation had a devastating effect on well-being. Veterans were among the most vulnerable given their high rates of military trauma-related conditions. Research supports that dogs can provide veterans with a sense of purpose, social support, and stress management. Digital storytelling provided a unique perspective with focus on a recognized hero, the veteran's dog, and an opportunity for engagement with other veterans during COVID-19. The purpose of the study was to assess the feasibility of this digital storytelling intervention based on Story Theory framework and tailored to encompass components of cross-generational collaboration in combination with individual and group virtual sessions as a mechanism to promote social engagement. The research was conducted using a descriptive exploratory design. Veterans (N = 8) were paired with a trained student and grouped in sets of four. There were eight guided 1-hour weekly virtual sessions to create their digital story. Demographic and pre-post intervention survey data were also collected. Based on eight established criteria, this article systematically evaluates the feasibility of the digital storytelling intervention for veterans. The findings suggest practical considerations to ensure viability of digital storytelling as a therapeutic intervention for veterans and other populations at-risk for suboptimal well-being.

Abstract

The KP aims to support the Bank in adopting a significantly more systematic approach to multisectoral action in countries to maximize investment in other sectors for health results, in line with its comparative advantage. It will help to meet the Bank s twin goals and add value to its work in countries, by providing task teams with data on the burden of disease and risks and their upstream determinants, which multisectoral action could address, toward the goal of reducing poverty. It will assist in demonstrating the links between upstream determinants, such as poverty and inequality, and health outcomes. KP will identify proven and cost-effective multisectoral solutions from international best practice that have the potential for transferability to local contexts. It will then help understand the drivers, opportunities and constraints of work across practices and sectors on a common agenda to meet the Bank s goals. Finally, contributing to the effective delivery of existing Bank work across sectors within countries, and provide foresight and priorities for future action.

The article describes the processes, identifies strengths and challenges and highlights key lessons for future efforts by drawing on the perspectives of those who participated in the design and implementation of the multistakeholder dialogues. It cites the lessons learned based on convener and consultant experiences which include the need for systematic analysis and time to identify participants and conduct key stakeholder interviews before the meetings.
