隨著老年人口日漸增加，台灣的獨居長者亦不在少數，深入關懷他們並提供協助成為關切的重點之一，如何提升其心理健康也是一重要議題。因此，本研究目的為開發設計一款虛擬實境（VR）應用系統導入於懷舊治療，藉由在場景中呈現獨居長者過往經歷之懷舊影像，期望透過沉浸式的數位懷舊治療，使能更投入於情境中，在敘事引導中能夠正向影響其心理健康，並重新找回自我價值，始能提升獨居長者之幸福感。研究方法採單組前後測驗，研究對象為77歲之女性獨居長者。依實驗需求將問卷測量指標分為四個幸福感構面進行調查，實驗後透過訪談及問卷進行分析。研究結果顯示運用VR懷舊治療系統能有效使獨居長者改善其心理健康、重新肯定自我價值，期待本研究計畫可透過懷舊VR應用系統導入於獨居長者之日常，而有助於其幸福感之提升。
