Background:

Hospitalization is a stressful experience for children, potentially leading to negative psychological outcomes like anxiety and fear.
There is a need for interventions to support the emotional well-being of hospitalized children.
Play-based activities are recognized as beneficial for children's emotional regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of play-based activities with a CoderBot robot on the well-being of hospitalized children.
To assess children's and caregivers' perceptions of robot-assisted interventions.
To explore the potential of technology in mitigating the adverse psychological effects of hospitalization.

Main Methods:

A single-setting intervention study involving 61 children in a pediatric short-term recovery ward.
Utilized a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative data from children, parents, and nurses.
Included field observation and multiple data sources to analyze the intervention's impact.

Main Results:

Robot-based play activities were associated with enhanced well-being, particularly an increase in positive emotions among children.
Both children and their caregivers reported the activity as enjoyable and interesting due to its innovative nature.
The intervention demonstrated a positive effect on the emotional domain of hospitalized children.

Conclusions:

Play-based activities with a CoderBot robot show promise as an intervention to improve the well-being of hospitalized children.
The technologically innovative aspect of the robot contributed to the positive reception of the activity.
Further research is warranted to explore the potential and limitations of robot-assisted interventions in pediatric settings.
