Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Frequency of professional caregiver support per week
This concerns support provided by professional caregivers to the participant regarding the selected activities for which the social robot is used. This support is recorded daily by professional caregivers during the entire study period of 13 weeks and during the two-week follow-up measurement.
During the whole study period (13 weeks) and follow-up 6 months after start of the intervention (2 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (7)

Goal attainment assessed by Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)
Differs per cluster: week 4-13 (cluster 1), week 5-13 (cluster 2), week 6-13 (cluster 3), and week 7-13 (cluster 4) and follow-up 6 months after start of the intervention (2 weeks)
Psychosocial impact of technology assessed by the 10-item Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS-10)

Study Arms (4)

Cluster 1

EXPERIMENTAL

As explained earlier on, all clusters receive the person-oriented intervention, which involves deploying the social robot on personal goals related to selected activities. In this study, randomization determines the duration of study periods. For cluster 1, periods are planned as follows: * Control: 2 weeks (week 1-2) * Intervention: 6 weeks (week 3-8) * Effect measurement: 5 weeks (week 9-13) * Follow-up: 2 weeks (week 34-35)

Device: Robot Tessa

Cluster 2

EXPERIMENTAL

For cluster 2, periods are planned as follows: * Control: 3 weeks (week 1-3) * Intervention: 6 weeks (week 4-9) * Effect measurement: 4 weeks (week 10-13) * Follow-up: 2 weeks (week 35-36)

Device: Robot Tessa

Cluster 3

EXPERIMENTAL

Interventions

Robot TessaDevice

Tessa is a small flowerpot shaped robot with two amber LED-lit eyes. The robot is always connected to the power network and internet and speaks reminders at a preset time. These notifications are installed by the user, who can be the professional caregiver or in some cases the participant themselves, using an accessible web app. Together with the participant and their professional caregiver, selected activities are translated into goals that the robot will support using Goal Attainment Scaling (Kiresuk \& Sherman, 1968), an individualized evaluation method to monitor the progress of (treatment) goals. The goals are evaluated weekly during the study period using a 5-point scale.

Intervention Model

SINGLE GROUP

Model Details: This is a multiple baseline single case (MBSC) study, involving individuals receiving long-term disability care and experiencing difficulties in daily structure and planning. Each participant serves as its own control and receives the person-oriented intervention involving a social robot. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four clusters. This randomization determines the duration of three phases during the 13-week study period: * Control period (care as usual): 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks, depending on cluster. * Intervention period (start using the robot): 6 weeks. * Effect measurement period: 5, 4, 3 or 2 weeks, depending on cluster. The study period lasts 13 weeks, with a 2-week follow-up measurement scheduled 6 months after the intervention period. The goal is to integrate the social robot into the participants' care plan, with the intention that they continue using the social robot after the study.
