Official title
Emotional Assessment and Tiered Individualized Psychological Support for Newly Diagnosed Postoperative Gynecologic Patients: Development and Testing of the E-MOTE Artificial Intelligence Robot
Overview
To develop the E-MOTE robot and evaluate its effectiveness in addressing psychological distress, physical symptom, stress index, and quality of life, as well as to explore its clinical applicability.
Detailed description
This study is grounded in the Social Cognitive Theory of Self-Regulation as its theoretical framework and aims to develop a robot equipped with functions of Emotion, Monitor, Optimize, Tailor, and Engage (E-MOTE). The intervention is designed to support newly diagnosed gynecological cancer patients in more effectively managing their emotions throughout the surgical treatment process, with the goal of positively influencing symptom management and quality of life.At the same time, the investigators will conduct qualitative interviews with nursing staff to understand their perceptions and thoughts about the robot.
Interventions
- Other E-MOTE group
Participants in the experimental group will receive the E-MOTE robot intervention on the first and second days after surgery. The intervention includes an emotional assessment, followed by appropriate dialogue modules tailored to the level of emotional distress. These are supplemented with emotion-generated empathetic conversations for deeper engagement, a session of self-affirmation relaxation training, and a subsequent Q\&A session.
Primary outcome measures
- Distress [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
- Depression [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Usability of the robot [Time frame: Measurements will be taken three days post-surgery.]
- Quality of Life Measurement [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
- Loneliness [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
- Symptom Severity [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
- Physiological objective indicators [Time frame: Measurements will be taken before the intervention, three days after surgery, and one week after discharge.]
