Effect of a Robotic Pet on Social and Physical Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The current randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of a robotic pet on social and physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults. The intervention group (n = 107) received a robotic pet and the control group (n = 113) received usual care following hospital discharge. Social and physical frailty were measured using the Questionnaire to Define Social Frailty Status and the FRAIL questionnaire. Cognitive function and depression were assessed using the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire and Geriatric Depression Scale, respectively. Continuous outcomes were compared between groups using t tests or Wilcoxon rank sum tests, as appropriate. Categorical outcomes were compared between groups using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests, as appropriate. Main findings showed the robotic pet positively impacted cognitive status in participants who reported they enjoyed engaging with their pet. This finding supported the theoretical premise of the current study that greater engagement with the robotic pet would yield greater improvement in study outcomes.

期刊介绍：
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
