This study investigated whether multiple health-care robots could have any benefits or cause any problems in an aged care facility.
Fifty-three residents and 53 staff participated in a non-randomised controlled trial over 12 weeks. Six robots provided entertainment, communication and health-monitoring functions in staff rooms and activity lounges. These settings were compared to control settings without robots.
There were no significant differences between groups in resident or staff outcomes, except a significant increase in job satisfaction in the control group only. The intervention group perceived the robots had more agency and experience than the control group did. Perceived agency of the robots decreased over time in both groups. Overall, we received very mixed responses with positive, neutral and negative comments.
The robots had no major benefits or problems. Future research could give robots stronger operational roles, use more specific outcome measures, and perform cost-benefit analyses.
本研究调查了多个医疗保健机器人在老年护理机构中是否有任何益处或引发任何问题。
53名居民和53名工作人员参与了一项为期12周的非随机对照试验。六个机器人在员工休息室和活动休息室提供娱乐、通信和健康监测功能。将这些场所与没有机器人的对照场所进行比较。
除仅对照组的工作满意度显著提高外，两组在居民或工作人员的结果方面没有显著差异。干预组认为机器人比对照组更具能动性和经验。两组中机器人的感知能动性均随时间下降。总体而言，我们收到了非常多样化的反馈，包括积极、中性和负面的评论。
这些机器人没有带来重大益处或问题。未来的研究可以赋予机器人更强的操作角色，使用更具体的结果指标，并进行成本效益分析。
