摘要

背景:花时间在自然环境中有益于心理健康和认知功能。不幸的是,许多有可能从这些有益影响中获益的老年人,却很少或根本没有机会接触自然环境。虚拟现实可以在不需要交通工具的情况下提供置身于自然环境中的体验。目的:本研究的目的是了解养老院的居民和工作人员如何使用和体验不同的虚拟自然环境,从而帮助虚拟自然环境的设计。方法:采用定性方法,通过访谈和观察收集资料。采用定性内容分析法对数据进行分析。结果:虚拟自然环境能激发被试的多种情绪反应,促进技能发展和社会互动。工作人员认为虚拟的自然环境可能有用,例如,可以改善居民的焦虑。我们确定了几个用户界面改进。结论:本研究讨论了虚拟自然环境的各个方面如何与用户的体验相关,以及这可能如何影响老年人的健康。在设计用于居家护理设施的虚拟自然环境时,这些方面可能是有价值的。

Designing virtual natural environments for older adults in residential care facilities
BACKGROUND: Spending time in natural environments is beneficial for mental health and cognitive function. Unfortunately, many elderly citizens, who would potentially gain from these beneficial effects, have limited or no access to natural environments. Virtual reality may provide the experience of being present in a natural environment without the need of transportation. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to acquire an understanding of how residents and staff at a residential care facility may use and experience different virtual natural environments, and thus aid the design of virtual natural environments. METHODS: We used qualitative method, collecting data through interviews and observations. The data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. RESULTS: Exposure to virtual natural environments provoked various emotional reactions, and promoted skill development and social interaction among participants. The staff perceived virtual natural environments as potentially useful for, for example, improving residents’ anxiety. We identified several user interface improvements. CONCLUSIONS: The present study discusses how various aspects of virtual natural environments work in relation to the experience of a user and how this might affect wellbeing in older adults. These aspects may be valuable to consider in the design of virtual natural environments for use at residential care facilities.
