Summary
This study tests whether an 8-hour digital learning program using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can improve dementia care knowledge, attitudes, and teamwork among long-term care professionals. About 150 staff from 12 care institutions in Taiwan take part, with some receiving the training first and others later. The program includes VR simulations of dementia symptoms and AR skill practice, aiming to make learning more engaging and practical.
