Nurses in Korea see a need for care robots to reduce workload, especially for non-value-added tasks. Priority roles include monitoring, mobility, and safety, though concerns about malfunction and patient rapport remain.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics in healthcare
  • Nursing informatics
  • Geriatric care technology

Background:

  • Korea's projected super-aged society by 2030 necessitates solutions for elderly care challenges.
  • Integrated nursing care services, staffed by professional nurses, aim to address gaps left by informal caregivers.
  • A government-backed care robot development project supports these integrated nursing care services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the demand for care robots among nurses.
  • To identify priority areas for robotic integration within nursing services.
  • To understand nurses' perspectives on robotic care.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey design was employed.
  • Data were collected from 302 Registered Nurses across five Korean hospitals (three tertiary, two secondary).

  • The survey questionnaire covered nurse demographics and attitudes towards robotic care.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses with more experience (≥10 years) showed positive attitudes towards care robots.
    • Top desired functions for care robots: measuring/monitoring, mobility/activity support, and safety care.
    • Key benefit identified: workload reduction, particularly in non-value-added nursing tasks. Concerns include device malfunction and impact on patient interaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Care robots are poised to enhance integrated nursing care, especially for monitoring tasks.
    • Robots can effectively reduce nurse workload and minimize non-value-added activities.
    • Successful implementation requires robots to function collaboratively with and under the control of nurses.
