AB  - BACKGROUND: Reminiscence therapy (RT) is the most common non-pharmacological 
      treatment for dementia care. The therapy stimulates the senses to evoke memories 
      having the potential to reduce Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia 
      (BPSD). Digital RT, such as web-based reminiscence therapy (WBRT), has the 
      potential to support dementia care and reduce the caregiving burden. AIMS: This 
      study aimed to explore healthcare professionals (HCPs) perceptions of utilizing 
      WBRT in institutionalized settings to support persons with dementia during the 
      COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A qualitative phenomenological descriptive study was 
      adopted and guided by Graham's Knowledge to Action framework. Online training on 
      the use of WBRT was conducted, followed by interviews with HCPs. RESULTS: Four 
      major themes were identified on the potential use of WBRT in dementia care, 
      including usability and efficacy, impact on caregiving, capability of reducing 
      BPSD, and. feasibility during COVID-19 social distancing. DISCUSSION: This study 
      recognized the potential use of WBRT to support the person with dementia during 
      the pandemic in institutionalized settings. CONCLUSION: The knowledge generated 
      from this study will guide the future application of WBRT to support dementia 
      care in diverse healthcare settings.
