Objective:
Recent trends in health care indicate a shift toward client-centered care and an emphasis on dialog between clients and providers. The aim of this study is to assess the role of video-mediated moral deliberation in stimulating dialog between clients and providers.
Methods:
A participatory video project carried out in a long-term care facility of a psychiatric hospital was investigated as a case study. Data were collected through interviews, a focus group and a dialog session with providers, clients, managers and a family member.
Results:
Data analysis produced four themes: (1) the video elicits discussion by affecting viewers; (2) the video raises awareness and discussion of clients' needs and desires; (3) the video and discussion give a voice to clients; and (4) the video and discussions draw attention to client-provider relations.
Conclusion:
The study shows that video-mediated moral deliberation can be a useful tool for starting dialog between clients and care providers. It can also contribute to changes in care provision by acting as a catalyst.
Practice Implications:
This study provides an example of how video-mediated moral deliberation can be applied in the context of psychiatric care. Opportunities regarding the usefulness of video-mediated moral deliberation include training purposes and education.
