Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to intervene in the cognitive functions of the community elderly through the "Robot Dementia Prevention Course" training. It is expected that through the eight-week course design activities, the cognitive functions, social activities, emotional management (such as alleviating depression), well-being, reduce loneliness and can be achieved, thereby preventing or delaying cognitive decline.
This study is a quasi-experimental design. It adopts pre-test and post-test methods for the experimental group and the control group. Before the intervention of the "Robotic Dementia Prevention Course", the community elderly were given a pre-test. After receiving an 8-week course (two months), the first post-test will be conducted, and three months later, the second post-test (post-post-test) will be conducted to analyze the delay effect. The experimental group conducted a two-month "Robot Dementia Prevention Course" intervention. The research subjects were 40 people. Each group of 5 people was assigned a Kebbi robot. The course intervention was divided into 8 groups. The Kebbi robot mainly taught and communicated with the elderly interactively. There is a well-trained teaching assistant in the class to enhance the learning effect of the elderly. The two classes per week are about 2 hours long, with 50 minutes of course knowledge introduction, 10 minutes of rest, 50 minutes of interaction with Kebbi Artificial Intelligence-based board games, and 10 minutes of prize-based quizzes after class. They are held once a week, with a total of 8 weeks of courses (duration two months), classes were taken in the elderly's original care center or long-term care base; the control group did not receive any course intervention. Statistical methods were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, and descriptive statistics, paired t tests, generalized estimating equations, etc. were used to test the changes before and after the intervention.
