该研究通过对14名痴呆护理相关人员访谈，明确了居家社交机器人设计需融入日常作息、提供情境化定向支持等关键方向，以辅助痴呆患者定向障碍检测与干预。
AI 中文摘要
定向障碍是痴呆患者常见且令人痛苦的经历，常表现为对时间、地点或个人情况的困惑，这类发作会增加焦虑、躁动和安全风险，尤其是对于居家独立生活的痴呆患者（PwDs）。尽管辅助技术已探索了提醒、监测和活动支持，但很少有研究探讨社交辅助机器人如何在日常生活场景中支持定向障碍的检测与管理，因此，定向障碍检测与干预作为社会技术挑战仍未得到充分研究。我们对痴呆护理者和从业者进行了14次半结构化访谈，包括家庭护理者、专业护理者、职业治疗师、心理健康从业者、痴呆护理从业者以及福祉与技术负责人。研究结果显示，定向障碍反复发作且波动出现，常通过重复提问、不当活动时间安排和日常作息紊乱等行为线索显现。护理者表示定向问题带有情感色彩，直接纠正可能加剧患者痛苦。参与者对机器人辅助普遍持接受态度，前提是将其定位为支持性而非纠正性工具。基于这些见解，我们确定了社交辅助机器人的关键设计启示，该机器人可提供情境感知的定向支持、融入日常作息并通过及时升级机制为护理者提供支持。
英文摘要
Dementia disorientation detection and intervention remain under-examined as socio-technical challenges for socially assistive robots (SARs). We conducted 14 semi-structured interviews with dementia caregivers and practitioners (DCPs) to investigate how disorientation is experienced, recognised, and managed in everyday life. The findings reveal that disorientation is recurrent and fluctuating. It often emerges through behavioural cues such as repeated questioning, inappropriate activity timing and disrupted daily routines. Caregivers described orientation as emotionally charged, and direct correction may increase distress. The DCPs were generally receptive to robotic assistance when framed as supportive rather than corrective. Based on the insights, we identify essential design implications for SARs that provide context-aware orientation support, integrate into daily routines and support caregivers through timely escalation.
