Research Progress on Intervention Support for Informal Caregivers of Dementia Patients Based on Virtual Reality Technology

随着全球人口老龄化的日益加剧，痴呆患者数量也在不断增加，非正式照护者在痴呆患者的照护中发挥着关键作用。然而，非正式照护者在照护患者的过程中面临着巨大的身心压力和负担。虚拟现实(VR)技术作为一种新兴的干预手段，为痴呆患者的非正式照护者带来了新的支持途径。本研究通过综述虚拟现实技术在痴呆患者非正式照护者干预支持领域的研究进展，深入了解VR干预的内容、形式、效果评估以及现存问题与挑战，旨在为未来干预方案的构建提供新思路。With the increasing global aging population, the number of dementia patients is also on the rise, and informal caregivers play a crucial role in their care. However, these caregivers face tremendous physical and psychological pressures and burdens during the caregiving process. Virtual Reality (VR) technology, as an emerging intervention tool, offers new avenues of support for informal caregivers of dementia patients. This study reviews the progress of VR technology in the field of intervention support for informal caregivers of dementia patients, delving into the content, forms, effect evaluation, and existing problems and challenges of VR interventions. The aim is to provide new insights for the development of future intervention programs.
