Performance and Perceptions of Health Care Professionals Using an Immersive Virtual Reality Tool for Home Care Training: Observational Feasibility and Acceptability Study
Immersive VR training for informal caregivers is a feasible and well-accepted approach, demonstrating high perceived usefulness among health care professionals. The study establishes a preliminary benchmark for home caregiving task execution, providing a basis for future research evaluating informal caregivers' performance and targeted training interventions to enhance patient safety. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term impact of VR training on caregiver competence and home care quality.
