Abstract

Abstract Aims To examine the effects of immersive virtual reality (VR) on self-identified daily activities and quality of life (QOL) of older adults with and without cognitive impairments and identify their preferred VR apps. Methods One group, pretest-posttest study of a total of eight 30-minute VR sessions over five weeks at a senior center. Measures included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, the World Health Organization QOL-BREF, and a preference questionnaire. Results Improvements in activity performance (p = 0.047) and satisfaction (p = 0.016) for all participants (n = 16; mean age = 69.76, SD = 5.14; 14 females), no differences in QOL, with reported preferences of leisure-oriented apps. Upon subgroup analysis based on cognition, the group with cognitive impairments (n = 7) did not report increases in activity performance (p = 0.497) while the group without cognitive impairment (n = 9) reported performance increases (p = 0.018). Conclusions In a community-based setting, leisure-oriented immersive VR may improve daily activity perceptions for older adults, regardless of mild cognitive impairments.

基于社区的虚拟现实对日常活动和生活质量的影响

目的研究沉浸式虚拟现实(VR)对有和无认知障碍老年人自我认定的日常活动和生活质量(QOL)的影响，并确定他们偏好的VR应用程序。方法一组在老年中心进行为期五周的共八次30分钟的VR前-后测试研究。测量方法包括加拿大职业绩效测量、世界卫生组织QOL-BREF和偏好问卷。结果所有参与者的活动表现(p = 0.047)和满意度(p = 0.016)均有改善(n = 16;平均年龄69.76岁，SD = 5.14;(14名女性)，生活质量没有差异，报告显示他们更喜欢休闲应用。在基于认知的亚组分析中，有认知障碍的组(n = 7)没有报告活动表现的提高(p = 0.497)，而没有认知障碍的组(n = 9)报告了活动表现的提高(p = 0.018)。在以社区为基础的环境中，以休闲为导向的沉浸式VR可以改善老年人的日常活动感知，而不考虑轻度认知障碍。本文的补充数据可在https://doi.org/10.1080/02703181.2022.2033903上在线获得。

期刊介绍： This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
