“…From January 2022 to December 2023, our project involved co-creating, implementing, and evaluating dementia-friendly videos (Zinnia TV) in a hospital and a long-term care home. [11][12][13] Our interdisciplinary team included industry partners, patients, family members, healthcare providers (nurses, care aides, and rehabilitation staff), researchers, and trainees. Zinnia TV is an industry partner offering a series of dementia-friendly TV videos designed for people with moderate to severe dementia.…”

Background The rapid advancement of gerontechnology, technologies for older adults, needs a collaborative approach, integrating the efforts of researchers, industry and community partners. Multisectoral collaboration fosters a holistic view, merging industry expertise, academic rigour, and the lived experiences of older adults and caregivers. This paper explores the role of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) perspectives in such collaboration. Methods We present two case studies from Canada and Australia. Study one involves a Dementia Television project, and study two an innovative rural dementia care project. Data sources included case studies’ focus group transcripts, research meeting notes, or publications between 2021–2023 and 2016–2024, respectively. Utilizing Rofel’s reflective model, we reflected on lessons learned regarding challenges, strategies, and their implications for future research. Our analysis focused on two questions: 1) What were the common challenges we encountered in partnering with industry and community in the research process? And 2) How can EDI be applied to help overcome those challenges? Results Thematic analysis identified five common themes of challenges and ten practical strategies. The challenges are (1) implicit bias, (2) underrepresentation, (3) communication gaps, (4) mistrust and (5) power dynamics. Based on the lessons learned, we identified ten practical strategies through EDI principles: (1) diverse representation, (2) establish transparent agreements, (3) inclusive language and cultural sensitivity, (4) apply flexibility to learn and adapt, (5) embed team reflection (6) take time to build trust and relationships, (7) meaningful engagement, (8) equitable recognition (9) foster a respectful environment for shared learning, and (10) cultivate a long-term sustained relationship. Conclusion The older population is diverse, and their needs are complex. EDI considerations contribute to fostering research excellence and maximizing the potential to develop aging technologies that truly meet the diverse needs of older adults for societal impact. Multisector collaboration requires clear communication and intentional efforts to build trust. EDI considerations should be embedded at every stage of the research process. This paper outlined common challenges, strategies, and implications as practical tips for future research and practice.

IntroductionThe rapid growth of the ageing population underscores the critical need for dementia care training among care providers. Innovative virtual reality (VR) technology has created opportunities to improve dementia care training. This scoping review will specifically focus on the barriers, facilitators and impacts of implementing fully immersive VR training for dementia care among staff in long-term care (LTC) settings.Methods and analysisWe will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute’s scoping review methodology to ensure scientific rigour. We will collect literature of all languages with abstracts in English from CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and ProQuest database until 31 December 2023. Grey literature from Google Scholar and AgeWell websites will be included. Inclusion criteria encompass papers involving paid staff (Population), fully immersive VR training on dementia care (Concept) and LTC settings (Context). Literature referring only to non-paid caregivers, non-fully immersive VR or other chronic diseases will be excluded. Literature screening, data extraction and analysis will be conducted by two reviewers separately. We will present a narrative summary with a charting table on the main findings.Ethics and disseminationThis work does not require ethics approval, given the public data availability for this scoping review. Through a comprehensive overview of the current evidence regarding impacts, barriers and facilitators on this topic, potential insights and practical recommendations will be generated to support the implementation of VR training to enhance staff competence in LTC settings. The findings will be presented in a journal article and shared with practitioners on the frontline.

“…Staff in institutional care/LTC settings are among the likeliest people who help older adults use technology [ 10 ]. The support from staff to implement technology-based interventions for dementia care is crucial, and the effectiveness of technologies and the use of robots depend on the staff and their knowledge, so that residents can benefit from the robots [ 11 ].…”

Although there is a growing literature on the use of telepresence robots in institutional dementia care settings, limited research focused on the perspectives of frontline staff members who deliver dementia care. Our objective was to understand staff perspectives on using telepresence robots to support residents with dementia and their families. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, we conducted four focus groups and 11 semi-structured interviews across four long-term care (LTC) homes and one hospital in Canada. We included 22 interdisciplinary staff members (e.g., registered nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, recreational therapists) to understand their experiences with telepresence robots. Thematic analysis identified three key themes: 1) Staff Training and Support; 2) Robot Features; 3) Environmental dynamics for Implementation. Our results underscore the imperative of structural support at micro-, meso- and macro-levels for staff in dementia care settings to effectively implement technology. This study contributes to future research and practice by elucidating factors facilitating staff involvement in technology research, integrating staff voices into technology implementation planning, and devising strategies to provide structural support to staff, care teams, and care homes.
