The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR)-based cognitive health education for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Taiwan. The study aims to assess whether VR-supported interventions improve cognitive health knowledge, health literacy, and self-management skills among participants. The primary research questions are: 1. Does the VR-based intervention enhance participants' knowledge related to dementia and their health literacy? 2. Does the VR-based intervention improve cognitive function, mental well-being, and self-efficacy compared to a control group? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Intervention group: This group will receive the "VR Dementia Prevention Health Education Module," an immersive virtual reality program designed to enhance dementia-related knowledge and coping strategies. 2. Control group: This group will receive standard, routine health education without VR exposure.
