Summary

This study tested a virtual reality program designed to help family caregivers of people with dementia. 92 caregivers in Taiwan used VR to experience dementia symptoms, alongside e-books and support groups. The goal was to improve their knowledge, empathy, and confidence while reducing the stress of caregiving.
