The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' need for care robots in children's hospitals and to help develop care robots that can be used by combining robot-care, game-care, and edu-care. This study employed a mixed-methods design; 198 nurses were recruited for quantitative research and 12 for qualitative research. The findings were as follows. Robot-care: Participants had an overwhelming preference for robots made of plastic or steel that could easily be washed and sterilized. Game-care: Among nursing procedures, vital sign measurements were the most common actions that could be implemented using game elements. Edu-care: The educational content that participants felt should be presented to child patients and caregivers through care robots included information about hospitalization, discharge, infection control, falls, and pressure ulcer prevention. Qualitative data divided the role of care robots into five subcategories associated with children and one subcategory associated with guardians. The findings of this study are meaningful in that it clarified the needs of nurses in the development of care robots for use in children's hospitals.
本研究的目的是调查儿童医院护士对护理机器人的需求，并助力开发可通过结合机器人护理、游戏护理和教育护理来使用的护理机器人。本研究采用了混合研究设计；招募了198名护士进行定量研究，12名护士进行定性研究。研究结果如下。机器人护理：参与者对由塑料或钢铁制成、易于清洗和消毒的机器人有着压倒性的偏好。游戏护理：在护理程序中，生命体征测量是最常见的可通过游戏元素实施的操作。教育护理：参与者认为应通过护理机器人向儿童患者及其照顾者呈现的教育内容包括有关住院、出院、感染控制、跌倒和压疮预防的信息。定性数据将护理机器人的角色分为与儿童相关的五个子类别和与监护人相关的一个子类别。本研究的结果具有重要意义，因为它明确了护士在开发用于儿童医院的护理机器人方面的需求。
