Questionnaires and data-gathering in crisis: adapted methodologies for delivery and implementation of Expressive Writing and Telling in Crisis, Lebanon

Expressive Writing and Telling in Crisis is a humanities-based program which values individual voices and experience. In terms of research, it attempts to take a 'with' not 'on' approach.This project established that even in crisis, once primary needs are fulfilled, there may be a place for expressive telling as a psychosocial support for client beneficiaries and also as support to aid workers or social workers in both providing care and gathering information.As part of this research, new questionnaire techniques were developed. Due to Covid, these had to be adapted to the lockdown situation. This collection showcases the following:- Questionnaire and headline results data from the two Joint Analysis Workshops held during the project. - Pre and post questionnaires from the Youth Curriculum in Expressive Telling, piloted by SHiFT International Tripoli.- Monitoring and Evaluation forms co-developed and implemented by AND NGO in Akkar Lebanon, to assess both quantitively and qualitatively, the effective delivery of EWT by social workers there.Headline results from EWT in crisis are that participants 'felt better after', 'found it calming' and 'want to do it again'. EWT providers believe that results are possible because of the nature of the program:- it does not assume one size fits all- it allows for conversations to develop over time, meaning that Covid vaccines and stigmas re Covid could be addressed- participants can develop at their own pace as it is participatory and respondents can feel they are part of shaping the outcomes- it has the idea that something can change, or may transform, at the heart of the program and this permeates the ethos of the whole.

《危机中的表达性写作与讲述》是一项基于人文学科的计划，该计划重视个体的声音与经历。在研究方法上，该计划试图采取一种‘与’而非‘对’的态度。本项目确立，即便在危机之中，一旦基本需求得到满足，表达性讲述作为一种心理社会支持手段，既可以为受助客户提供支持，亦可为援助工作者或社会工作者提供在提供照护与收集信息方面的辅助。作为研究的一部分，新式的问卷技术被开发出来。鉴于新冠疫情，这些技术不得不适应封控状态。本收集展示如下：- 来自项目期间举办的两场联合分析研讨会的问题调查和头条结果数据。- 由 SHiFT 国际在的黎波里试点进行的表达性讲述青年课程的前后问卷。- AND 非政府组织在阿卡克尔黎巴嫩共同开发并实施的监测与评估表格，用于定量和定性评估当地社会工作者有效实施 EWT 的情况。危机中 EWT 的头条结果是参与者‘感觉好转’，‘觉得它令人平静’，并‘希望再次参与’。EWT 提供者认为，这些成果的实现归功于该计划本身的性质：- 它不假设一种模式适用于所有人- 它允许对话随着时间的推移而发展，这意味着可以针对新冠疫苗接种和新冠的污名化进行讨论- 参与者可以按照自己的节奏发展，因为它是参与式的，受访者可以感觉到他们参与了成果的塑造- 该计划的核心思想是事物有可能改变，或可能发生转变，这一理念贯穿了整个计划的伦理精神。
