Virtual Reality as a Possible Means to Meet the Psycho-spiritual Needs of Older Adults in Nursing Homes
Original language description
This article presents how virtual reality can contribute to meeting the needs of residents in nursing homes. As part of the VIREAS project, we conducted a qualitative study in January 2021 in a South Bohemian nursing home. The research sample consisted of 12 residents aged 63 to 100 with different cognitive and sensory-motor levels. Our results show that a properly designed virtual experience can support the fulfilment of self-esteem and value, meaning and continuity of life story, the need to be part of a community, and the need to transcend everyday life. To meet these needs, several factors are important: high-quality content; user-friendly form; proper time for the virtual experience; sufficiently educated activity workers; appropriate communication with older persons before, during, and after the virtual experience; and the opportunity to share their virtual experience with others. We also define some factors that may limit the use of this method in nursing homes.
