Description
Marie Savundranayagam and six co-authors studied whether care organizations are ready for a virtual reality training program in a 2023 paper. The program teaches frontline care workers to communicate with people living with dementia in a person-centered way. Before rolling out such a tool, leaders need to know what helps or blocks adoption.
The team interviewed nine managers from home care and long-term care settings in Canada. Using a standard framework for putting new practices in place, they sorted the answers into themes. Four themes stood out: openness to virtual reality as a training tool, the logistics of staffing and training time, a culture that supports staff growth, and outside pressures to keep organizations sustainable. The findings tell program designers what to fix first, from scheduling to leadership buy-in, before the headsets arrive.
