Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of VR educational program on improving attitude and empathy toward dementia among caregivers. We plan to recruit around 600 participants and randomly assign them to either a control group or an experimental group. The experimental group will participate in a dementia educational program combining VR lasting approximately 2-3 hours. Data would be collected from related questionnaires to investigate whether combining VR with dementia education can effectively improve participants' empathy and attitude toward dementia.


Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to evaluate the effect of VR educational program on improving attitude and empathy toward dementia among caregivers. We plan to recruit around 600 participants and randomly assign them to either a control group or an experimental group. The control group will receive traditional education on dementia which is primarily taught by instructors. The experimental group will participate in a dementia educational program combining VR lasting approximately 2-3 hours. The virtual reality educational modules predominantly offer first-person narratives that delineate various symptoms associated with dementia. Before, immediately after, and 4 weeks after the traditional and VR educational program, all participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about dementia empathy and attitude to explore whether combining VR with dementia education can effectively improve participants' empathy and attitude toward dementia. ;
