Introduction/Background: People in nursing homes frequently live their lives inactive and with little social contact. Consequently, the nursing home residents loose opportunity to live their lives to the fullest. Person-centred practice require good relationship between residents and staff, power sharing and a supportive organisation. At three nursing homes video bikes and VR-glasses were used to increase engagement and social activity in order to contribute to person-centred practice and yield person-centred outcomes. Aim: The aims of the study were to explore how staff members experience activity with video bike and VR-glasses and how the activity contributed to person-centred practice. Method: The study has an explorative design with a qualitative approach. The sampling of informants was purposeful. We conducted nine individual interviews with staff and volunteers who had experience from leading the activity. Data was analysed with systematic text condesation. The study is conducted in compliance with research ethics principles. Result: Analysis of data yielded four categories: K1 The activity promoted engagement and well being. K2 The activity promoted a sense of community. K3 The activity contributed to person-centred practice by being proactive and adaptive to the resident’s preferences and needs. K4 The activity was promoted and hindered by several factors. Conclusion with implication for practice (educational and/or clinical): Staff members and volunteers experienced that the activity with video bike and VR promoted moments of engagement, well being and a sense of community between the resident and the staff. Thus, it seems reasonable to assert that the activity resembles person-centred processes which yielded person-centred outcomes. Though, there are need for available personnel resources and dedicated persons with responsibility for the activity to succeed in creating person-centred practice.
