초록

본 연구는 외국에서 이미 연구들이 진행되고 있는 노인간호 동물로봇과 관련하여 한국 노인을 위한 동물 로봇을 개발하는 경우 어떠한 속성을 포함하여야 할지 그 내용을 확인하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 재가노인 간호전문가와 시설노인전문가 13인을 대상으로 Focus group interview를 수행하였다. 자료수집은 2014년 8월 부터 12월 까지 이루어졌으며 2개 그룹으로 나누어 2명의 연구자가 인터뷰를 진행하고 인터뷰 결과에 대한 디브리핑과 필사자료를 바탕으로 내용분석을 통해 결과를 도출하였다. 그 결과 세 가지 주제 (효용성 인정, 모양, 기능)가 확인되었다. 구체적으로는 1인 가구 노인에 대한 효용성이 인정되었고, 모양과 크기는 우리나라 노인들에게 친숙한 강아지 모양, 그리고 다루기 용이한 3kg내외의 무게가 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 기능은 노인 뿐 아니라 가족들의 요구에도 부응할 수 있어야 하며 이를 위해 두 가지 핵심 기능 즉 상호작용 기능과 모니터링 기능이 필요한 것으로 드러났다. 본 연구의 결과 드러난 노인 간호 동물로봇의 요소들은 앞으로 노인을 대상으로 하여 확인할 필요가 있다. 또한 후속 연구들에서는 보다 구체적으로 각 주제별로의 컨텐츠에 대해 탐구할 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the components of the geriatric robot pet, which might be helpful in caring for elderly people in the future. Focus group interview-with two focus groups-was performed between August 2014 and December 2014. Study participants were 13 geriatric experts from nursing, medicine, social work, and physical/occupational therapy. All interview data were transcribed, followed by debriefing and a qualitative content analysis. Three main themes emerged: acknowledgment of the usefulness of geriatric robot pet, establishment of elderly-centered appearance, and the functions of the robot pet to meet the needs of elders and family members. The robot pet was considered to be useful to elders who live alone since they can benefit from companionship and care provided by the robot pet. Geriatric robot pet needs to be manageable in size and weight, like a small dog. Moreover, a function that allows for interaction with and monitoring the elderly would be beneficial. The baseline elements that could guide further development of contents for the Korean geriatric robot pet were proposed from the results of FGI. Studies that validate these elements are necessary.
