Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study developed an educational program using virtual reality technology to foster a positive attitude towards persons living with dementia (PLWD) among community members. The program aimed to provide a deeper understanding of the difficulties experienced by PLWD in their daily lives and the characteristics of their relationships with those around them. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted before and after the program’s implementation, as well as three months later, to evaluate its effectiveness. Results showed that community members’ attitudes towards PLWD and their intention to help improved significantly after the program’s implementation, and these effects were maintained after three months. Further work is needed to disseminate and implement dementia education for various targets within the community.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究において、VRによる認知症のある人の一人称体験を通して、認知症のある人が経験する困難や周囲の人の対応をより深く理解し、自分自身の支援について考える認知症教育プログラムが開発された。このプログラムにより参加者の認知症のある人への態度と援助行動意図の改善に効果があることが、高いエビデンスレベルの研究デザインにより示された。今後、このプログラムを地域の認知症啓発に実装することで、認知症にやさしいまち(Dementia-friendly Community)づくりに大きく貢献できると期待できる。
