    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.
