Dementia can be overwhelming for those who experience it, as well as their families. Despite substantial effort from health care workers, nursing home residents with dementia (NHRD) often experience isolation and low quality of life. Increasing interest has been directed towards digital solutions as a supplement to pharmaceutical treatment. In particular, virtual reality simulations that reproduces nature experiences (or “virtual nature”) have emerged as a promising cost-effective solution to promote health and wellbeing, enhancing the quality of life and, possibly, decelerating the cognitive impairment among NHRDs. The purpose of this project is to i) investigate the acute affective and behavioral responses to a virtual nature experience, and ii) assess the long-term effects of a virtual nature-intervention on various indicators of health and wellbeing among NHRDs. The study will be designed as a randomized controlled trial with parallel conditions. Sixty NHRDs will be recruited with previous provision of informed consent either from the participant or their caregivers. Individuals who report or show high intolerance toward the virtual reality experience will be excluded. The treatment group will undergo a 12-week VN-intervention, consisting of viewing 360° nature videos twice a week, in addition to the normal medications and activities at their nursing homes. The control group will only undergo normal medications and activities at their nursing homes. Measurements will be performed at baseline, in concomitance with the first VR-experience, and after 4- and 12- weeks into the intervention. Data collection is planned to start in September 2025.
