“…For, in fact, there is an upward trend in the publication of studies on virtual reality, as evidenced by the many high-quality papers devoted to the effectiveness of virtual reality in enhancing student engagement (Li et al, 2022;Riner et al, 2022;Y. Song et al, 2023), motivation (H.-L. Chen & Liao, 2022;Liu et al, 2022;Ozdemir & Ozturk, 2022), and learning outcomes (Banjo-Ogunnowo & Chisholm, 2022;C.-H. Chen et al, 2021;Yamaguchi et al, 2022) recently published in credible journals. This is also supported by quite a number of emerging systematic studies on the use of virtual environments for enhancing the learning experience of students across different education levels and subjects (Coban et al, 2022;Ding & Li, 2022;Long et al, 2023;Luo et al, 2021;Putranto et al, 2023;Villena-Taranilla et al, 2022).…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study sought to investigate the current state of innovative teaching research and identify emerging themes and trends in the field from 2013 to 2023. The Scopus database was searched for the term “innovative teaching,” resulting in 1005 documents. After manual screening, 903 articles were exported in the BibTeX format for further processing in Bibliometrix using three bibliometric analysis types: network analysis, science mapping, and performance analysis. Performance analysis revealed bursts in publication output in 2015 and 2021, with a moderate boost in 2018. Ten top-cited journal papers were identified. The citation rates were low between 2019 and 2021, but there has been an upturn since 2022. The top keywords included simulation and nursing education, and there was a shift in research topics from broad educational concepts to more specific approaches, such as e-learning. Innovative teaching has been predominantly investigated in higher education, particularly in nursing education, with themes like “teaching/learning strategies” suggesting an emphasis on enhancing teaching practices not just through technology infusion. This study can aid educators and researchers in staying current with innovative teaching developments and inform their teaching practices.</p>

“…Moreover, a VR‐based educational programme for community members has significantly improved their attitudes towards PLWD and their sense of community (Sari et al., 2020). However, a VR‐based dementia educational programme designed for nurses in acute hospitals showed no significant effect in improving their attitudes towards PLWD (Yamaguchi et al., 2022). This programme presented three VR scenarios involving inpatients with dementia: refusal to take medication, post‐surgical delirium and being physically restrained.…”

BackgroundPoor awareness of dementia care by healthcare professionals affects the quality of care for people living with dementia in acute care settings.ObjectivesThis study examined the effectiveness of a virtual reality‐based educational programme for dementia for nurses working in acute care hospitals in Japan.MethodsA dementia education programme for nurses was designed. The programme comprised short movies, virtual reality videos based on the short movies, a lecture, discussions and role‐playing based on the experimental learning model. Virtual reality video content was created to promote empathy for people living with dementia through a first‐person experience of dementia. The educational programme involved nurses working in an acute care hospital in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Before and after the programme, we employed structured questionnaires using validated instruments to assess participants' attitudes towards people living with dementia, their intentions of helping behaviour and their confidence in providing dementia care.ResultsSeventy‐six nurses participated in and completed the pre‐ and post‐tests. The mean age was 34.9 ± 9.2 years, and 90.8% of the participants were female. A paired t‐test showed significant before‐after improvement in the participants’ attitudes towards people living with dementia (41.9 ± 5.1 vs. 44.5 ± 4.8), intentions of helping behaviour towards people living with dementia (10.8 ± 2.5 vs. 12.8 ± 2.1) and confidence in providing dementia care (25.9 ± 6.7 vs. 29.2 ± 6.0).ConclusionThe programme effectively improved nurses’ attitudes towards people living with dementia and confidence in providing dementia care in acute care settings. Future research is important to explore the long‐term effects of this programme and its effects on actual dementia care.Implications for practiceThe dementia education programme may promote person‐centred care in acute hospitals. Future studies should consider the provision of more flexible programs so that nurses can more easily participate in them.

Background The provision of consistent, high-quality dementia care training for healthcare professionals in acute care hospital settings has been largely overlooked until recent years. Purpose This study was designed to investigate the effect of current healthcare professional dementia care training courses on related knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy in hospital nurses and to understand their training-related experiences, willingness, and perceived barriers. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, 201 nurses were recruited from a teaching medical center in Taiwan. A questionnaire was developed by the researchers to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy related to caring for people with dementia and to elucidate participant experiences and preferences regarding dementia care training courses. Five academic and clinical dementia care experts held three content validity evaluation rounds for the developed questionnaire. Inferential statistics were used to compare the knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy related to caring for people with dementia between participants who had and had not attended a dementia care training course. Results Nearly all (96.5%) of the participants had prior experience caring for people with dementia, but only 25.9% and 7.0% respectively reported haven taken basic and advanced healthcare professional dementia care training courses. Those who had taken either the basic or advanced course earned higher mean knowledge scores than those who had taken neither (p = .009 and p = .027, respectively). Time constraints and scheduling conflicts were identified as the major barriers to attending dementia care training (n = 164, 81.6%). Conclusions/Implications for Practice The participants who had attended either the basic or advanced healthcare professional dementia care training course were found to have better dementia care knowledge than those who had not. Stakeholders should work to further reduce the barriers faced by nurses to attending essential dementia care training.
