What this Trial Is About
This research aims to develop and evaluate an AI-assisted nursing care robot called the E-Nursing Assistant to help address workforce shortages and heavy workloads faced by nurses. The study focuses on improving nursing work efficiency and quality by reducing nurses workload using this technology. The trial is led by National Taiwan University Hospital and involves both nursing staff and patients in a clinical ward setting. The study tests the programming framework of the E-Nursing Assistant, which performs functions like guiding patients to specific ward locations, providing equipment usage instructions, playing educational care videos, reminding patients about examination precautions, offering health education on specimen collection, and answering medical questions through an expert-developed Q&A system. This intervention is implemented in the ward for nursing care tasks that do not involve patient safety. Participants will be observed regarding nursing staff workload and stress levels before and after the intervention, as well as the time and frequency spent on nursing tasks. Feedback is gathered through interviews. Outcomes include measuring workload-related stress in nursing staff, system usability of the robot, and the number of patients served. The study includes adults aged 18 and older and involves both nurses actively working in wards and patients or caregivers willing to accept the intervention.
