Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Recreational Therapy

Background:

  • Long-term care facilities face challenges in providing engaging recreational activities.
  • Virtual Reality (VR) offers a novel approach to enhance resident experiences and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of a VR recreation program in Ontario long-term care (LTC) sites.
  • To evaluate the program's implementability using the RE-AIM Framework.

Main Methods:

  • A phased approach was used, including needs assessment, VR experience development, and implementation.
  • The RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) Framework guided the evaluation of VR program implementation.
  • Data collection involved focus groups, staff surveys, observations, and analysis of implementation metrics.

Main Results:

  • The VR recreation program demonstrated high, though not consistent, implementability across LTC sites.
  • Factors supporting implementation included resident interest, ease of use, and integration into the recreation calendar.
  • Barriers included headset size, IT infrastructure limitations for casting, and variable content engagement.

Conclusions:

  • VR programs are highly implementable in long-term care settings.
  • Successful implementation is facilitated by integration into existing recreational structures, user-friendliness, and strong resident engagement.
