目的：为了澄清潜在用户对家庭护理机器人在日本，爱尔兰和Finland.Methods的发展和社会实施的看法：未签名，自我管理的问卷调查分发给65岁或以上的成年人，家庭护理人员，家庭护理/健康和社会护理专业人员（HSCP）。结果：在日本，许多人在日常生活中已经熟悉了机器人。关于他们对家庭护理机器人的看法，最值得注意的发现与安全有关。此外，93.7%的日本受访者表示，“如果用户无法决定是否使用家庭护理机器人，那么应该由熟悉用户的家庭成员决定”，其次是爱尔兰的76.4%和芬兰的83.1%（p < .001）。在爱尔兰，81.8%的受访者表示，“我想通过参与家庭护理机器人的研发来帮助其他人和社会”（日本：69.9%;芬兰：67.5%）（p = .006）。在芬兰，许多人对机器人的印象比其他两个国家差。芬兰有最高比例的受访者（75.4%）表示，“医疗保健专业人员应该被允许使用家庭护理机器人收集的二级信息”（日本和爱尔兰：64%）（p = .024）。此外，爱尔兰和芬兰还强调了保障人类护理权利的必要性。结论：要在重视人类尊严的同时，从各个角度出发，制定家庭护理机器人的开发和社会实施的最佳战略，就需要考察各国与机器人相关的历史、文化、政策和价值观等方面的特点。
Purpose: To clarify potential users' perceptions toward the development and social implementation of home-care robots in Japan, Ireland, and Finland.Methods: Unsigned, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to adults aged 65 or older, family caregivers, and home-care/health and social care professionals (HSCPs). A total of 1004 responses were collected.Results: In Japan, many people were already familiar with robots in their daily lives. The most notable finding about their perspectives on home-care robots was related to safety. Moreover, 93.7 % of the Japanese respondents said, "If the user cannot decide whether to use a home-care robot, family members who know the user well should decide," followed by 76.4 % in Ireland and 83.1 % in Finland (p < .001). In Ireland, 81.8 % of the respondents said, "I want to help other people and society by participating in the research and development of home-care robots" (Japan: 69.9 %; Finland: 67.5 %) (p = .006). In Finland, many people had a negative impression of robots compared to the other two countries. Finland had the highest percentage (75.4 %) of respondents who said, "Health care professionals should be allowed to use secondary information collected by a home-care robot" (Japan and Ireland: 64 %) (p = .024). Moreover, Ireland and Finland emphasized the need to guarantee the entitlement to receive human care.Conclusions: Devising optimal strategies for the development and social implementation of home-care robots by incorporating various perspectives while valuing human dignity will require examination of each country's characteristics with respect to history, culture, policies, and values related to robots.
