Exploring the Impact of a Brief Virtual Reality Dementia Simulation on Healthy Adults’ Willingness to Care, Dementia Worry and Ageing Anxiety
Literature Review. AIM: Dementia and ageing simulations are an increasingly popular method of seeking to improve attitudes towards people with dementia (PwD) and older adults. This systematic review investigates how dementia and ageing simulations are conducted, and their impact on adults’ attitudes, empathy and anxiety towards older adults and PwD. METHOD: PsycInfo, Embase and CINAHL were searched for papers meeting review criteria published in the period January 2000 to January 2018. A hand-search of grey literature sites, key authors and journals was also conducted. The quality of papers was assessed using an adapted version of the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool. Study findings were summarised using a narrative synthesis. RESULTS: Fifteen studies were included in the review. Study quality was mixed. Simulation methods identified included Ageing Equipment, Standardised Ageing Games, Immersive Multi-Sensory Experiences and virtual reality. Empathy consistently improved in response to simulation, but attitude findings were inconclusive. Few studies measured anxiety and there was some indication it heightened in response to simulation. CONCLUSIONS: Dementia and ageing simulations likely improve empathy in individuals, but they do not consistently improve attitudes. There is potential for unintended consequences regarding attitudes and anxiety. Simulation training must therefore be used with careful consideration. The developing area of dementia simulation requires further investigation to ascertain how it affects behaviour towards older adults and PwD. Empirical Paper. AIM: The aims of this study were to investigate the feasibility of delivering a brief virtual reality (VR) dementia simulation using participants’ own devices; to evaluate the impact of the simulation on healthy adults’ attitudes towards willingness to care (WTC) for people with dementia (PwD), dementia and ageing; and to explore predictors of WTC. METHOD: The study was conducted online via Qualtrics. Healthy adult participants were ...
