First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a scenario-driven virtual reality game can improve nursing students' attitudes and knowledge about dementia. 200 Indonesian nursing students will be assigned to different combinations of VR and classroom education. The goal is to see if interactive VR helps students better understand and empathize with people living with dementia.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that interactive VR is an effective tool for teaching healthcare students about dementia, potentially improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage educational study, not a medical treatment. Results may not apply to other settings or student groups, and the VR format may not suit all learners.
