Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Artificial Intelligence (AI) in gerontology education can combat loneliness in long-term care (LTC) homes. Students see AI robots as beneficial companions for older adults, but ethical and technical issues require careful consideration.
Area Of Science
- Gerontology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Human-Robot Interaction
Background
- Long-term care (LTC) homes face challenges with staff shortages and resident loneliness.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled service robots offer potential solutions to improve quality of life for older adults.
- Gerontology education currently lacks integration of AI and service robots, with limited understanding of student perspectives.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore university students' perspectives on deploying an AI robot (Aether) in long-term care (LTC) settings.
- To identify anticipated uses, challenges, and future possibilities of AI robots in geriatric care from a student viewpoint.
- To inform the integration of AI technology into gerontology curricula.
Main Methods
- Qualitative study involving focus groups with 22 university students.
- Thematic analysis of student discussions regarding the AI robot Aether in LTC environments.
Main Results
- Students anticipate Aether providing companionship and supporting LTC staff.
- Identified challenges include technical and emotional aspects of AI robot deployment.
- Students suggested expanding functionalities and personalization features for future AI integration.
Conclusions
- University students generally hold a positive view of AI robots in geriatric care.
- Addressing ethical and practical considerations is crucial for successful AI implementation.
- Incorporating student perspectives is essential for effective AI integration in gerontology education.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Documentation in long-term care facilities and home healthcare settings is crucial for ensuring continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive care for patients. Each setting has its specific documentation processes and tools:
Long-Term Care Facilities
• Purpose: Documentation in long-term care facilities is critical for interprofessional resident assessment and planning. It ensures that all aspects of a resident's care - from medical needs to daily living assistance - are thoroughly...
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...
