Published Date: May 19, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Care Robots (CRs) are capable of performing a multitude of caregiving tasks, demonstrating potential in addressing the aging crisis. However, the implementation of CRs faces challenges, and user attitudes are vital for implementation of CRs. Informal caregivers (ICs), who are the primary providers of care and bear the heavy burden of caregiving, are seldom studied in terms of their attitudes toward CRs.
