- To illuminate the meaning of picking behavior in institutionalized people with dementia, the narratives of 15 care providers were interpreted using a method inspired by Ricoeur's phenomenologic hermeneutics. The care providers saw the behavior as a form of meaningful communication. The behavior was described as occurring in combination with wandering and in connection with restlessness and stress related to fatigue, difficulty communicating, and lack of occupation. The behavior also was seen as an attempt to engage in meaningful activities. Some care providers reported that the picking behavior caused them strain, whereas others reported a more positive reaction because the behavior made the ward more alive. Most care providers perceived the meaning of the picking behavior relative to the dementia sufferer's previous life and said they reacted by diverting, allowing, or understanding the picking.
