Hungarian (n = 20) and foreign (n = 20) medical students could experience what it would be like to be an elderly, demented person for 5 minutes by using a virtual reality application. Before and after the experiment, they completed a questionnaire and expressed their opinion on a Likert scale (0-6 points). The evaluation was made by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The attitude of foreign and Hungarian medical students changed significantly in a positive way regarding the importance of studying dementia in the elderly (Z = 18, p &lt; 0.078 and Z = 7.5, p &lt; 0.187 respectively), judging the difficulty of lives of elderly people with dementia (Z = 20, p &lt; 0.0078 and Z = 27.5, p &lt; 0.002 respectively), judging their empathy for elderly people with dementia (Z = 32, p &lt; 0.00112 and Z = 55.5, p &lt; 0.0005 respectively), understanding thinking of elderly people with dementia (Z = 79 p &lt; 0.0001 and Z = 59, p &lt; 0.026 respectively), regarding the likelihood of taking steps to prevent their own dementia (Z = 27.5 p &lt; 0.002 and Z = 27.5, p &lt; 0.002 respectively). The study demonstrated the importance and the effectiveness of applying virtual reality tools in educating medical students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Gamification, Education, Virtual Reality, Dementia, Medical Students<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>J\u00c1NOS KOLL\u00c1R: Gamification in Education: Changing the Attitude of Medical Students towards Dementia by Using Virtual Reality (Pilot Study).
