Supporting Current Home Care Services with a Robot-mediated Interactive Intervention (RMII) to Reduce Loneliness in Older Adults: A Feasibility and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Supporting Current Home Care Services with a Robot-mediated Interactive Intervention (RMII) to Reduce Loneliness in Older Adults: A Feasibility and Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of supplementing a robot-mediated interactive intervention (RMII) to current home care services in HK for older adults who live alone or with an older spouse at home, and to examine the preliminary efficacy of RMII on reducing loneliness. The objectives of the study are: 1. To assess the feasibility (recruitment rate, retention rate, intervention adherence, implementation fidelity, and safety) of RMII; 2. To assess the acceptability (participant satisfaction and usability of the features, cultural acceptance, electricity cost, etc.) of RMII; 3. To examine the preliminary efficacy of the RMII on loneliness, visuo-motor function, psychological distress, and quality of life among older adults.

探索性研究/预试验
Participants will be randomly assigned to the IG or CG in a 1:1 ratio by an independent statistician using a computer program.
After receiving consent from the participant, a research assistant, who will be blinded to the group allocations, will collect demographic information and administer the baseline outcome measures (T0). This research assistant will again administer the outcome measures at week 2,4, 6, 8 and 3 months after the intervention through phone.
