The Utilization of Nature‐Based Virtual Reality (VR) Practice for the Wellbeing of Older Adults with Dementia

Despite abundant evidence supporting the health benefits of nature‐based programs and activities, older adults with dementia experience practical limitations to their participation in these nature‐based activities. Utilizing a Nature‐based Virtual Reality (VR) Program can be a good alternative to outdoor nature activities by minimizing physical and structural barriers that older adults with dementia often encounter. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the changes in the emotional health and health‐related quality of life among older adults with dementia after the Nature‐based VR program participation.
