Abstract
Innovative educational interventions that dispel aging myths and promote empathy toward older adults can be used to reduce age bias and health care disparities. Virtual reality (VR) is one intervention that has shown promise in this area. This one-group, pretest-posttest design pilot study examined the effect of a VR experience on empathy with a sample of 121 second-degree, prelicensure nursing students. A significant improvement in empathy was observed. This study adds to the limited evidence that examines the use of VR for immersive storytelling and facilitation of empathy toward older adults in nursing students.
