|
Background: The characteristics and needs of potential users of the serious game for dementia have been poorly estimated.
Methods: A total of 247 subjects (68.28±11.19 yr) were classified by attitude toward senile dementia. They responded to the questionnaire on the acceptance of the serious game and the needs for contents of the serious game.
Results: The average rating of the acceptance of the serious game was 72.20. Among the types of attitudes, ‘active & realistic (type 3)’ scored the highest (77.60), ‘idealistic & expectant (type 1)’ scored 71.80, and ‘aversive & defensive (type 2)’ scored the lowest (66.80) on the acceptance. In the case of the contents of the serious game, type 3 & type 1 scored higher ratings for the needs regarding all of 12 contents of the serious game. Among the 12 contents, type 3 showed the highest needs for the contents of cognitive functions, while type 1 showed the highest needs for the contents of emotion.
Conclusions: These results suggest that potential users of the serious game for dementia are likely to be type 1 or type 3, and the contents and functions for the two types of potential users should be different.
