Brief summary
This study is conducted for a mixed methods study. Subjects are 20 child patients and 20 their carers. First, Participants use and interact with a social robot. The robot is controlled by researcher with the wizard of oz. method. The interaction is video-recorded for the later analysis of the child's engagement through amount of his vocalization and sentences. After using social robot, a survey and an in-depth interview will be done. This study investigates the usability, satisfaction, emotion, and other dimensions of social robots of pediatric patients and carers and evaluate the degree of interaction with them with the recording data, survey and in-depth interview. This study is a basis for using social robots to pediatric patients in the hospital environments.
Detailed description
This study is conducted for a mixed methods study. Subjects are 20 child patients and 20 their carers. First, Participants use and interact with a social robot. The robot is controlled by researcher with the wizard of oz. method. And another researcher observes the participants-robot interaction. The interaction is video-recorded for the later analysis of the child's engagement through amount of his vocalization and sentences. After using social robot, a survey and an in-depth interview will be done. This study investigates the usability, satisfaction, emotion, and other dimensions of social robots of pediatric patients and carers and evaluate the degree of interaction with them with the recording data, survey and in-depth interview.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Duration and time of robot communication with the participants | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessment of how long the duration and time of the communication between the participants ans robot is. |
| Number of conversations exchanged between the participant and the robot | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessment of the number of conversations exchanged between the participant and the robot |
| The amount of the incidence of participants' vocalization when interacting with the robot | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessment of the incidence of participants' vocalization when interacting with the robot. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A qualitative study on user experience | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | A qualitative study on user experience using a in-depth interview |
| A quantitative study on the user experience | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | A quantitative study on the user experience using User Experience Questionnaire. The items have the form of a semantic differential, i.e. each item is represented by two terms with opposite meanings. The items are scaled from -3 to +3. Thus, -3 represents the most negative answer, 0 a neutral answer, and +3 the most positive answer. |
