ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a virtual reality intervention for dementia care education in Japanese acute care nurses. Non-randomised controlled trial was used to assess the effectiveness of the intervention pre- and post-intervention and at a 1-month follow-up. This study enrolled 20 and 19 nurses in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Generalized estimating equation analyses revealed significant differences in scores on the Dementia Nursing Competency Scale in Acute Hospitals and Staff Experiences of Working with Dementia Residents questionnaire in the intervention group. A post hoc test revealed significantly higher scores on the Dementia Nursing Competency Scale in Acute Hospitals at 1 month after compared with pre-intervention. Staff Experiences of Working with Dementia Residents questionnaire scores were significantly lower at pre- than that at post-intervention and 1 month after intervention. These findings could improve competency of dementia nursing care and attitudes toward people with dementia.
