Although Information and Communication Technology (ICT) care robots are being used to address the shortage of human resources in nursing care in Japan, there are few studies on the application and disadvantages of robotics in caring for older persons.
The authors surveyed seven students taking a nursing care course based on a self-administered questionnaire after they experienced various ICT nursing care robots in the education program. The responses were coded and analyzed qualitatively to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using robots in nursing care and the roles of nursing care workers.
While nursing care robots have been evaluated for their contributions to caring for older persons, they also have disadvantages, such as high cost, discomfort, and risk of injury.
Education programs for welfare students should include active experience with robots and a deep understanding of their advantages and disadvantages in caring for older people. Further collaboration between development companies, training schools, and care sites is essential to help educators and students get used to nursing care robots soon, refer to their experience in testing these robots, and simultaneously study potential disadvantages and discomforts of nursing care robots.
尽管信息通信技术（ICT）护理机器人正被用于解决日本护理人力资源短缺的问题，但关于机器人技术在老年人护理中的应用及弊端的研究却很少。
作者在教育项目中让七名参加护理课程的学生体验了各种ICT护理机器人后，通过自填式问卷对他们进行了调查。对回答进行编码并进行定性分析，以探讨在护理中使用机器人的优缺点以及护理人员的角色。
虽然护理机器人在照顾老年人方面的贡献得到了评估，但它们也存在一些弊端，如成本高、不舒适和受伤风险等。
福利专业学生的教育项目应包括对机器人的实际体验以及对其在照顾老年人方面的优缺点的深入理解。开发公司、培训学校和护理场所之间的进一步合作对于帮助教育工作者和学生尽快熟悉护理机器人、参考他们测试这些机器人的经验以及同时研究护理机器人的潜在弊端和不适至关重要。
