Abstract

Residents at nursing homes need to exercise to retain self-efficacy. But all the while, many do not seem to want to prioritize exercise routines over leisure activities. The first part of this chapter analyzes the potential reasons for this lack of exercise commitment at a nursing home in Copenhagen, Denmark, and show a solution to overcome such obstacles, by augmenting the exercise routine with the accompagnement of recreational virtual environments. The second part of the chapter shares insights from the experiences from spending 3 years with the unique challenges and complex conditions that researchers face, when operating and navigating the specific field of nursing homes, due to the inherent characteristics of its context and users.
