目的：本研究的目的是确定银色护理机器人计划对机构老年人认知功能、抑郁和日常生活活动的影响。方法：本研究采用非等效对照组前测后测设计。研究对象为42名机构老年人（实验组17名，对照组25名）。银护理机器人计划作为干预措施，每周进行两次，持续5周。“银护机器人计划”是一个综合娱乐计划，旨在帮助老年人的心理、情感和身体健康。对两组进行前测，5周后进行后测，以检验干预效果。结果：两组患者治疗后认知功能及日常生活活动能力（ADL）均有显著差异。但两组老年人在抑郁方面的差异无统计学意义。结论：银护机器人项目应作为一项针对机构老年人认知功能和日常生活活动的常规项目。
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects on cognitive function, depression, and activities of daily living of Silver-Care-Robot Program for institutionalized elders. Methods: This study was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 42 institutionalized elders (17 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group). The Silver-Care-Robot Program was provided as an intervention which was conducted twice a week for 5 weeks. The Silver-Care-Robot Program is an integrated entertainment program to help the mental, emotional, and physical health of elderly people. Pre-test was conducted on the two groups, and, in order to examine the effects of intervention, a post-test was conducted after 5 weeks. Results: There were significant differences in cognitive function and ADL (activities of daily living) between two groups after the program. But the difference in depression in the institutionalized elders was not statistically significant between the two groups. Conclusion: The Silver-Care-Robot Program should be considered as a regular program for cognitive function and activities of daily living for institutionalized elders.
