Summary

This study tested whether a three-week virtual reality program could increase empathy in nursing assistants at long-term care facilities. 103 participants were split into two groups: one that watched short VR videos of residents' lives followed by group discussion, and a control group that continued normal care. Researchers measured empathy levels before, right after, and one month after the program.
