  • Summary

    This chapter demonstrates how a community of professional caregivers changes its view of a mealtime situation as a result of a communication intervention involving video guidance. We use data from a Finnish communication intervention model called OIVA, in which caregivers film everyday interactions and discuss these scenarios with a trained OIVA guide. In the 90-minute session investigated in this chapter, the community analyzes the interaction in a video where a caregiver spoon-feeds a resident living with dementia. This chapter focuses on how the OIVA guide uses practices such as hypothetical questions and reformulations of previous contributions to redirect the work community’s focus towards the interaction between the caregiver and the resident in the video. It is argued that, during the video guidance session, the caregivers begin to view the task of feeding as a social event and an opportunity to communicate with the resident.
