Abstract
Objectives
We examined the effectiveness of robot-assisted-activity program to support the mental health of children with cancer in a hospital.
Methods
The program using the Artificial Intelligence Robot (AIBO) was performed for 20 minutes twice a week for a 5-week-period. In each session, robot/patient interaction behaviors were recorded with a video camera and were analyzed by two psychologists using Fagot's interactive behavior code and Crowell interaction scale. Only one to six sessions were adequate for analysis.
Results
In Fagot's code, there were significant linear trends by session in the activity frequency of major muscle, fantasy play, looking at the robot, gesture for communication, the lack of interaction (p<0.05), and marginally significant linear trends in the frequency of normal play and passive physical activity (p<0.1). The activity frequency of minor muscle in the fifth session were higher than in the first (p<0.05). In Crowell interaction scale, there were no significant changes in all items except the item continuance in the play had higher score in the fifth session than in the first.
Conclusion
The robot-assisted-activity program may be helpful to have positive interaction behaviors in children with anti-cancer treatment. Further development of the robot function would be needed to increase the interaction behavior.
Key Words: robot-assisted play, activity, program, application
