我们使用两个焦点小组研究了家庭远程护理中对机器人的要求。第一组由六名参与老年护理的医疗保健专业人员组成，第二组由六名生活在社区的残疾老年人组成。一个家庭的远程呈现机器人的概念是用一个移动的机器人的照片来说明，然后要求参与者提出潜在的医疗保健应用。访谈资料来自每个小组讨论的文字记录进行了分析，采用定性归纳的基础上内容分析。分析得出的意见可分为三个主题：潜在的应用、可用性问题和用户需求。家庭中的遥控移动的机器人系统被认为是有用的，通过改善患者和医疗保健专业人员之间的沟通，并在某些条件下提供喘息和支持，以协助多学科的患者护理。从传统的以医院为中心的老年病护理模式转变为以家庭为基础的模式，为在家庭远程护理中使用具有移动的机器人系统的远程呈现创造了机会。
We examined the requirements for robots in home telecare using two focus groups. The first comprised six healthcare professionals involved in geriatric care and the second comprised six elderly people with disabilities living in the community. The concept of an in-home telepresence robot was illustrated using a photograph of a mobile robot, and participants were then asked to suggest potential health care applications. Interview data derived from the transcript of each group discussion were analyzed using qualitative induction based on content analysis. The analyses yielded statements that were categorized under three themes: potential applications, usability issues and user requirements. Teleoperated mobile robotic systems in the home were thought to be useful in assisting multidisciplinary patient care through improved communication between patients and healthcare professionals, and offering respite and support to caregivers under certain conditions. The shift from a traditional hospital-centred model of care in geriatrics to a home-based model creates opportunities for using telepresence with mobile robotic systems in home telecare.
