Abstract: Background: Researchers have an ethical responsibility to share their findings with their studies’ participants and those who can influence policy and practice. Storytelling is an arts-based approach increasingly used in nursing research to share findings, but little has been written about how to use the approach in participatory research involving people from minority ethnic and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Aim: To present a guide to cocreating digital stories to share research findings with minority ethnic and socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. Discussion: The authors and peer researchers from minority communities used a rigorous method to cocreate composite digital stories from their qualitative research’s findings. The authors describe and reflect on the stages of the creative process, focusing on the actions required before, at and after the collaborative workshop. Conclusion: A rigorous process is required to create composite, naturalistic digital stories that authentically reflect research findings and are accessible to listeners. Implications for practice: Digital stories are an engaging, feasible and equitable way to share research findings with minority ethnic and disadvantaged communities.
