世界人口正在老龄化，发达国家正在开发一种新的老年护理模式，以减少螺旋式上升的医疗费用。社会辅助机器人（SAR）等辅助技术被认为是支持护理过程或让老年人更长时间呆在家里的推动者。本文报告了一个混合方法的系统评价SAR在老年人护理，并认识到其对老年人福祉的影响，整合证据的定性和定量研究。它遵循科克伦干预措施系统评价手册中解释的原则，并对老年人护理中SAR现场试验的干预措施、措施和结局进行分类。纳入了37个研究组的86项研究。研究结果表明，SAR对老年人的幸福感有积极的影响。提出了十项重要建议，以帮助避免现有研究的局限性，并改善未来的研究及其适用性。这项审查表明，SAR可以潜在地提高老年人的福祉，减少照顾者的工作量。有必要严格的研究方法，以人为本的护理，照顾者的期望模型，多模式的互动，多模式的数据收集和建模的文化多样性群体，以促进SAR的可接受性。
The world's population is aging, and developed countries are engaged in developing a new aged-care paradigm to reduce spiraling healthcare costs. Assistive technologies like Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) are being considered as enablers to support the process of care giving or keep elderly at home longer. This article reports a mixed-method systematic review of SAR in elderly care and recognizes its impact on elderly well-being, integrating evidence from qualitative and quantitative studies. It follows the principles explained in Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and classifies interventions, measures, and outcomes of field trials of SAR in elderly care. Eighty-six studies in 37 study groups have been included. The findings imply positive effects of SAR on elderly well-being. Ten significant recommendations are made to help avoid the current limitations of existing research and to improve future research and its applicability. This review revealed that SAR can potentially enhance elderly well-being and decrease the workload on caregivers. There is a need for rigorous research methodology, person-centered care, caregiver expectation model, multimodal interaction, multimodal data collection, and modeling of culturally diverse groups to facilitate acceptability of SAR.
