Brief Summary:
Background Older adults experience significant physical cognitive and environmental losses in their later life Self-supported aging-in-place has benefits for mental health and the quality of life for older people In the field of gerontological nursing person-centered holistic care highlights the importance of enabling older people and their significant others such as older spouse or other family caregivers to establish healthful relationships so to improve older adults physical psychological mental and social wellbeing However globally and also most recommended by Hong Kong government home-based care services for older adults have not been fully developed Research on the use of robots supporting older adults is given increasing attention in the globe but most of them were focused on aiding older adults who are living with dementia or residing in nursing homes More robotic research needs to be conducted at their own homes in the community and support older people in having an independent lifestyle
Study Aim This study aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of home-based physical robot HUMANE by community-dwelling Chinese older adults and soon-to-be-aged adults and their family caregivers
Study design and method This study will employ a two-arm pilot randomized control trial with qualitative interviews People aged 50 or above who are receiving home care from family members will be recruited to this study Purposive sampling will be adopted in recruitment The robot HUMANE will be used by the intervention group for a 6-week trial Loneliness cognitive function emotional status self-efficacy mutuality and sense of coherence will be measured at baseline day-1 and immediately post-intervention week-6 to examine preliminary effect of using robot at home
Data analysis SPSS Statistics 26 will be adopted for all analyses Descriptive statistics generalized estimating equations GEE models and a deductive content analysis approach will be used in data analysis
Significances of the study The study will add evidences in the field that social robot may be able to address some of the unmet needs of older people living at their own homes in the community particularly relating to loneliness enhancing the development of home-based care services for older adults
