简要总结
Older people belong to an age group that has been increasing in recent decades, leading to a progressive ageing of the population. With the aim of reducing the generational digital divide, the use of technology in retirement homes was proposed. To this end, virtual reality glasses were used to allow the visualization of an external virtual world and, subsequently, it was evaluated whether their application improved the quality of life of the elderly by reducing the difficulties they have in participating in recreational activities outside these centers. A prospective quasi-experimental longitudinal study was carried out in the centers belonging to the basic health area of Valls, with a study period from May 2023 to March 2024. Quality of life was measured using the ad hoc "Escala de Calidad de Vida Rivas-Bordas".

Level of Quality of Life
时间窗: pre-intervention and immediately after post-intervention
The Quality of Life was evaluated using the ad hoc "Rivas-Borda Quality of Life Scale." Developed by the principal investigators, it consists of 26 items. The scale measures participants' Quality of Life across four areas (emotional, cognitive, socio-economic, and physical) using a 4-point Likert scale (1 = Never or almost never, 4 = Always or almost always). The lowest possible score on the scale is 23, and the highest is 104. A score between 104 and 81 indicates an adequate Quality of Life, between 80 and 54 points suggests a risk of Quality of Life deterioration, and between 53 and 23 indicates an altered Quality of Life. At the end of the scale, there are 3 additional questions assessing satisfaction with the activity, also rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = Not at all, 4 = Very much).
