摘要

全球60岁以上人口预计将增长，这引发了人们对独居老年人的担忧，尤其是那些患有慢性病的老年人。这些人需要各种各样的护理需求，包括身体、精神和社会支持，这导致了机器人辅助护理等创新解决方案的探索。然而，目前还没有研究解决患有慢性疾病的老年人对伴侣或护理机器人的需求，因此首先研究中老年人的需求是至关重要的。目的了解中老年人慢性病患者对未来护理机器人的需求。方法采用深度访谈的定性研究方法，收集2022年9月至2023年9月在门诊就诊的15名中老年患者的数据。采用内容分析法对数据进行分析。结果确定的主题是“互动和陪伴”，“协助日常生活”，“药物提醒和协助医患沟通”，“替代几种长期护理服务”，“对机器人外观和尺寸的不同要求”，以及“对未来机器人的怀疑”。结论中老年人对机器人的使用需求较为明确。为患有慢性疾病的老年人使用机器人带来了机遇和挑战，这表明医疗保健提供者应该意识到老年人的文化差异和个人需求。一旦技术更加先进，医疗保健政策更有可能包括由机器人提供的长期护理服务。

The needs of middle-aged and older adults with chronic diseases living alone for using care robots

Background

The global population of people over 60 is expected to grow, raising concerns about older adults living alone, especially those with chronic diseases. These people require various care needs, including physical, mental, and social support, leading to the exploration of innovative solutions like robot-assisted care. However, no research has addressed the needs of older adults with chronic diseases regarding companion or care robots, so it is essential first to study the needs of the middle-aged and older adults.

Aim

This study aimed to understand the needs of the middle-aged and older adults with chronic diseases for future care robots.

Methods

This qualitative study used in-depth interviews to collect data from 15 middle-aged and older adults in outpatient departments recruited from September 2022 to September 2023. The data were analysed using content analysis.

Results

The identified themes were ‘interaction and companionship’, ‘assistance with daily routines’, ‘medication reminders and assistance with physician–patient communication’, ‘replacement of several long-term care services’, ‘different requirements for robot appearance and size’, and ‘scepticism about future robots’.

Conclusion

The middle-aged and older adults had relatively explicit needs for using robots. Using robots for older adults with chronic diseases presents both opportunities and challenges, suggesting that healthcare providers should be aware of the cultural differences and individual needs of older populations. Once the technology is more advanced, healthcare policies are more likely to include long-term care services provided by robots.

期刊介绍： Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research is the official journal of Australian College of Nursing (ACN). The journal aims to reflect the broad interests of nurses and the nursing profession, and to challenge nurses on emerging areas of interest. It publishes research articles and scholarly discussion of nursing practice, policy and professional issues. Papers published in the journal are peer reviewed by a double blind process using reviewers who meet high standards of academic and clinical expertise. Invited papers that contribute to nursing knowledge and debate are published at the discretion of the Editor. The journal, online only from 2016, is available to members of ACN and also by separate subscription. ACN believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career through quality education, and further our profession through representation. ACN is the voice of influence, providing the nursing expertise and experience required when government and key stakeholders are deciding the future of health.
