MARIO is a social robot developed with and for people living with dementia (PLWD) to promote social connectivity and reduce loneliness and isolation by providing access to a number of applications that PLWD can access, via speech and/or touchscreen commands. These applications include My Calendar, which reminds the PLWD about daily schedules and appointments; My Music which provides access to the PLWD’s personalised music and My Memories which gives the PLWD the opportunity to reminiscence by showing them photographs of family, friends and/or significant life events. MARIO was developed, tested and evaluated with PLWD in a long stay residential setting over a 13-month period from September 2016 to October 2017. During the first 5 months of MARIO’s introduction to PLWD, researchers maintained a reflective practice diary. The aims of the study were twofold: (1) To capture the experiences of researchers of being involved in this process and (2) To help identify strategies to enhance PLWD’s engagement with the robot. These reflections were analysed in NVIVO 11.4 using thematic analysis guided by a qualitative descriptive methodology. The following themes emerged from the research: (1) Level of interest in having MARIO present in long-term residential care (LTC), (2) MARIO’s appearance and functionalities, (3) Engaging with MARIO, (4) Researchers’ Recommendations for Introducing Robots in Dementia Care and (5) Impact on researchers. From the researcher’s recommendations for introducing robots in dementia care, a number of key strategies were identified which may facilitate the engagement of PLWD with social robots. These include the use of verbal and/or physical prompting by the robot, lack of distraction, and actively engaging staff members or family members when introducing the robot to PLWD. This work highlights the important contribution of reflective practice to the introduction and development of social robots in dementia care.

向长期居住护理中的痴呆症患者介绍社交机器人MARIO:思考

MARIO是与痴呆症患者(PLWD)一起开发的社交机器人,旨在为痴呆症患者开发社交连接,并通过语音和/或触摸屏命令提供对PLWD可以访问的许多应用程序的访问,从而减少孤独感和孤独感。这些应用程序包括“我的日历”,它可以提醒PLWD有关每日的日程安排和约会。“我的音乐”可访问PLWD的个性化音乐,而“我的记忆”可让PLWD通过向他们展示家人,朋友和/或重大生活事件的照片来回忆自己。从2016年9月到2017年10月的13个月中,MARIO在长期居住的住宅环境中使用PLWD进行开发,测试和评估。在MARIO引入PLWD的前5个月中,研究人员保留了一份反思性的实践日记。该研究的目的有两个:(1)捕捉研究人员参与该过程的经验,以及(2)帮助确定提高PLWD与机器人互动性的策略。在NVIVO 11.4中,使用定性描述方法指导下的主题分析对这些反映进行了分析。该研究得出以下主题:(1)对MARIO进行长期居住护理(LTC)的兴趣水平;(2)MARIO的外观和功能性;(3)与MARIO合作,(4)研究者的建议在痴呆症护理中引入机器人,以及(5)对研究人员的影响。根据研究人员关于将机器人引入痴呆症治疗的建议,确定了许多关键策略,这些策略可能有助于PLWD与社交机器人的互动。这些措施包括机器人使用口头和/或身体提示,注意力不集中以及在将机器人引入PLWD时积极参与工作人员或家庭成员的活动。这项工作强调了反思性实践对痴呆症护理中社交机器人的引入和发展的重要贡献。
