Involving patients and families in a social robot study

Innovative research in care practice for older people can benefit from the active involvement of patient and family partners. Involvement may begin with identifying priorities, then move to formulate research questions and to plan the research methods, to data collection, and finally to analysis and...

Involving patients and families in a social robot study
description Innovative research in care practice for older people can benefit from the active involvement of patient and family partners. Involvement may begin with identifying priorities, then move to formulate research questions and to plan the research methods, to data collection, and finally to analysis and knowledge dissemination. However, in the field of dementia care, actively engaging patients and families in co-research is a novel practice that needs exploration. This paper describes the experiences and perspectives of two patient researchers and three family researchers, along with four clinicians (two physicians, a nurse, and an occupational therapist) within a social robot project in dementia care. Meeting notes, team reflection focus groups, follow–up interviews, and a research journal were used to document the research process. The results are presented in three themes: (a) identify challenges and lessons learned, (b) co-inquire enriched learning, (c) co-produce knowledge for care improvement.
