Immersive virtual reality (VR) offers an innovative approach to training by simulating real-life caregiving scenarios in a risk-free environment. Prior to implementation, the environments and the technique's feasibility and acceptability must be assessed by the professionals who will use it to train caregivers, establishing a performance benchmark based on experienced health care professionals.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aims to test feasibility and develop exploratory benchmarks and acceptability of immersive VR training for home caregiving tasks, using experienced professionals to establish a reference standard for execution quality.<h4>Methods<JMIR serious gamese75104https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12679075biostudies-literaturePerformance and Perceptions of Health Care Professionals Using an Immersive Virtual Reality Tool for Home Care Training: Observational Feasibility and Acceptability Study.PMC12679075Abed NArroyo AMira JGuilabert-Mora MPerez-Esteve CBallester MPGil-Hernandez ERios JRibeiro-Neves VfalsePerformance and Perceptions of Health Care Professionals Using an Immersive Virtual Reality Tool for Home Care Training: Observational Feasibility and Acceptability Study.<h4>Background</h4>Informal caregivers play a crucial role in home care and many lack formal training, potentially compromising patient safety.
