Overview
Brief Summary
This study is conducted for a mixed methods study. Subjects are 20 child patients and 20 their carers. First, Participants use and interact with a social robot. The robot is controlled by researcher with the wizard of oz. method. The interaction is video-recorded for the later analysis of the child's engagement through amount of his vocalization and sentences. After using social robot, a survey and an in-depth interview will be done.
This study investigates the usability, satisfaction, emotion, and other dimensions of social robots of pediatric patients and carers and evaluate the degree of interaction with them with the recording data, survey and in-depth interview. This study is a basis for using social robots to pediatric patients in the hospital environments.
Detailed Description
This study is conducted for a mixed methods study. Subjects are 20 child patients and 20 their carers. First, Participants use and interact with a social robot. The robot is controlled by researcher with the wizard of oz. method. And another researcher observes the participants-robot interaction. The interaction is video-recorded for the later analysis of the child's engagement through amount of his vocalization and sentences. After using social robot, a survey and an in-depth interview will be done. This study investigates the usability, satisfaction, emotion, and other dimensions of social robots of pediatric patients and carers and evaluate the degree of interaction with them with the recording data, survey and in-depth interview.
