Abstract

Declines in older adults' cognitive and physical health pose challenges to maintaining their independence. Robots can improve independent living and facilitate aging-in-place. Despite recent innovations in healthcare robotics, the use of robots has not advanced significantly among older adults. This review seeks to understand human-robot interactions in older adults, focusing on their experiences and perceptions of robots for independent living. We identified 17 studies that utilized qualitative methods to investigate older adults and/or their caregivers' experiences and perceptions of robots designed to help older adults improve independent living. Drawing on content analysis, we identified eight themes: usefulness, ease of use, safety, reliability, self-efficacy, satisfaction, emotional connection with the robot and reciprocity, and intention to use. The findings provide insights to improve existing robots and guide future research about designing robots with higher acceptance. This review may have implications for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers working with robotics to support healthy aging-in-place.

评估人机互动，支持健康的就地养老。

老年人认知能力和身体健康状况的下降给保持其独立性带来了挑战。机器人可以改善老年人的独立生活，促进就地养老。尽管最近在医疗保健机器人技术方面有所创新，但机器人在老年人中的使用并没有显著进步。本综述旨在了解老年人的人机互动情况，重点关注他们对用于独立生活的机器人的体验和看法。我们确定了 17 项研究，这些研究利用定性方法调查了老年人和/或其照顾者对旨在帮助老年人改善独立生活的机器人的体验和看法。通过内容分析，我们确定了八个主题：有用性、易用性、安全性、可靠性、自我效能感、满意度、与机器人的情感联系和互惠性以及使用意向。研究结果为改进现有机器人提供了启示，并为今后设计接受度更高的机器人的研究提供了指导。这篇综述可能对决策者、从业人员和研究人员利用机器人支持健康的居家养老具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
