Abstract

This study presents an approach by video camera to embodied expertise of nurses in feeding and swallowing technique for peoples with dysphagia. Two methods are used to collect data: one is the participant observation by video recording and the other is retrospective reports by watching the recorded video. The research participants were three nurses who worked in a short stay. An expert nurse pointed out an angle of the video camera to a researcher. In the narratives, embodied expertise of her was found. And then, the angle of it was modified according as nurses' views. On the other hand, the other nurse's action and conversation changed, nurses around her got wise to her change and responded to her. In this way, the team of nurses became activated. This approach by video camera was significant to clarify what was embodied expertise of nurses and how they acquirement of embodied expertise in supporting feeding and swallowing of peoples with dysphagia.
