Description
Care robots can ease the load on families and staff, but only if older adults will accept them, and Hee Jeong Yoon and co-authors survey what tips that acceptance in Korea. Their 2023 study questioned more than five hundred community-dwelling adults over sixty. Acceptance was modeled against background, health, and technology factors in layers.
Schooling and town living raised acceptance, as did better self-rated health and daily functioning. Among technology factors, digital literacy helped while stress about technology hurt. The authors urge programs that raise digital skills and calm tech anxiety, especially for rural, less-educated, and frailer elders, before robots are rolled out.
