About

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.

Full 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.
