The aim of the study was to explore the feasibility of using telepresence robots to encourage interactive communication in dementia care, from the perspective of family carers.
Qualitative findings from semi-structured interviews with six family carers.
Generally, family carers reported a feeling of presence and connectedness when talking to their family member via the telepresence robots. They reported the robots as helping to enhance longer conversations and social connection with their family member.
Telepresence may offer potential to encourage social connection, in particular where families are unable to make regular visits to the nursing home.
本研究旨在从家庭护理人员的角度探讨使用远程临场感机器人促进痴呆症护理中互动交流的可行性。
对六位家庭护理人员进行半结构化访谈的定性研究结果。
总体而言,家庭护理人员报告称,通过远程临场感机器人与家人交谈时,有在场感和联系感。他们表示,这些机器人有助于延长与家人的对话时间并增强社交联系。
远程临场感可能具有促进社交联系的潜力,尤其是在家庭无法定期探访养老院的情况下。
