Summary

Dementia is a growing public health concern, and improving knowledge and attitudes toward dementia is important for reducing stigma and promoting supportive care. Virtual reality (VR) has been increasingly used as an educational tool because it can provide immersive and engaging learning experiences.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of different types of virtual reality-based dementia education on college students' knowledge of dementia and their attitudes toward people living with dementia. College students were randomly assigned to one of two educational approaches: a VR-360 experience based on real-life scenarios or a computer-generated VR (CG-VR) learning environment.

Participants completed questionnaires assessing dementia-related knowledge and attitudes before and after the educational intervention. By comparing changes between the two groups, this study aims to determine whether different VR formats lead to different learning outcomes. The findings of this study may help inform the design of future dementia education programs using immersive technologies.
