초록

가상현실 치매체험 프로그램(EDuVR, Empathy for Dementia using Virtual Reality)은 환자가족, 조호자, 일반인들에게 치매환자에 대한 이해와 공감을 유도하기 위해 제주특별자치도 광역치매센터에서 개발한 360도 가상현실 콘텐츠이다. 치매에 대한 인식개선도구 개발의 필요성에 따라, 치매환자가 겪는 기억력, 지남력, 언어능력, 판단력과 같은 인지기능 저하와 이로 인한 일상생활의 어려움을 환자 일인칭 시점으로 체험하도록 하였다. 본 보고의 전반부에서는 EDuVR에 대하여 소개하였고 후반부에서는 EDuVR 체험이 인식개선에 미치는 효과를 기술하였다. 총 66명의 피험자를 EDuVR 집단(34명)과 교육집단(32명)에 할당한 후, 치매태도검사, 치매인식검사를 사전과 사후에 각각 측정하였다. EDuVR 집단은 추가적으로 VR 경험에 따른 멀미감과 현실감 수준을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 치매환자에 대한 태도 및 인식은 EDuVR의 체험에 따라 긍정적으로 변화하였으며, 이러한 변화는 치매교육의 효과와 다르지 않았다. EDuVR의 체험 후 유의한 수준으로 멀미를 느낀 사람은 1명에 불과하였다. 본 결과는 EDuVR은 짧은 체험시간만으로도 교육과 유사한 수준의 인식개선 및 태도변화를 일으키며, 멀미감이 크게 유발되지 않아 일반대중이 체험하기에 용이한 콘텐츠임을 시사한다. 즉, EDuVR은 치매에 대한 이해와 공감수준을 높이는 유용한 인식개선 도구이다.

The Empathy for Dementia using Virtual Reality (EDuVR) system, developed by the Jeju Provincial Dementia Center, is a 3D video system capturing the experience of dementia in a first-person perspective using 360 degree vritual reality (VR) technology. It was developed to create a greater understanding of dementia and to help people empathize with individuals with dementia through an immersive VR experience. The EDuVR shows how a dementia patient has impairments in memory, orientation, language, judgment and problem solving, as well as problems with activities of daily living. The present study reported the effectiveness of the EDuVR experience in changing public awareness of, and attitude toward, dementia. Sixty-six participants were assigned to the EDuVR (n = 34) or the conventional education (n = 32) groups, and two types of questionnaires - attitude and awareness questionnaires - were administered to the subjects before and after the EDuVR experience or education. The simulator sickness and presence questionnaires were administered to the EDuVR group to assess cybersickness and presence of the VR experience. As a results, the attitude and awareness toward dementia patients changed positively in both the EDuVR and the conventional education groups, and these changes did not differ between two groups. Only one person reported a significant level of cybersicness after experiencing the EDuVR system. These results suggest that the EDuVR enhances the level of understanding and empathy for dementia and would be a useful tool for improving awareness in the general public.
