Methods
A pragmatic non-randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. The participants were home care professionals who carried out home care clients’ medication management. Home care clients were allocated into intervention groups (IG) and control groups (CG) (n = 64 and 46, respectively) based on whether or not they received the robot. Data were collected using the Working Time Tracking Form prior to and 1 and 2 months after introducing the intervention. The t-test was used to compare the groups at each three timepoints. Analysis of Covariance was used to examine the groups’ differences for the total time for medications as the number of visits per day as the covariate.
