Older Adults’ Acceptance of a Virtual Reality Group Intervention in Nursing Homes: Pre-Post Study Under Naturalistic Conditions

The Senior Technology Acceptance Model [50] states that older adults with strong social relationships believed in the utility of technologies and were more inclined to use them compared to older adults with weaker social networks.
