With recent advancements in robot technology, the use of robots has increased in the care services. Robots may contribute to improving the safety, quality, and efficiency of health care (Cresswell et al., 2018). Several studies have reported that for staff members, the labor burden of promoting care was reduced when incorporating the use of care robots (Coco et al., 2018; Huisman et al., 2019; Lee et al., 2018). With this relief in mind, in the field of nursing care the use of robots is receiving attention, as it can provide one component in dealing with the manpower shortage that arises from worldwide aging populations. Especially in Japan, which has the highest aging rate in the world, as well as continued development of robots, the potential use of care robots has become an important pillar of social policy (Japanese Cabinet Office, 2020). Social policy aims to resolve social issues through adding new assets created by innovation, and robotsupported caregiving is expected to extend healthy life expectancy and to reduce social costs.
