Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
As the intervention group, the participants should participate in three weekly scheduled mindfulness-positive psychological intervention sessions using virtual reality for 15 - 20 minutes per session.
culturally tailored mindfulness-positive psychological intervention
This 3-week culturally tailored mindfulness-positive psychological intervention instructs techniques to enhance positive emotions and meditation exercise lasting approximately 30 minutes. The culturally tailored mindfulness-positive psychological intervention consists of four modules: 1) noticing positive events, 2) amplifying positive events, 3) gratitude, and 4) mindfulness and meditation. This 3-dimensional software includes gamification features, including a virtual living room, Japanese garden, art gallery, and meditation garden.
A private office and/or space was utilized to implement the culturally tailored mindfulness-positive psychological intervention for older Korean Americans/immigrants, provided by the recruitment sites such as non-profit organization and church. The private room at the sites had a desktop (or laptop) computer, a virtual reality device (Oculus Quest 2), a chair, and a desk.
Waitlist group
As the waitlist group, no treatment was given to the participants, while the intervention group participated in the mindfulness-positive psychological intervention for three weeks. After the three-week waiting period, the participants were contacted and asked to complete the post-measurements. After completion, the participants started with the three-week mindfulness-positive psychological intervention using virtual reality for 15 - 20 minutes. No further data was obtained from these participants after the completion of the program.
