“…At the home level, our findings point to potential strategies related to the built environment, care philosophy, human resources (e.g., training, hiring, and retention), communication and staff roles and responsibilities within the home. Other innovations, such as incorporating creative art 72 and technology installations, 73 although not included in our review, may also present promising approaches. While our review was initiated before the COVID‐19 pandemic and the included studies did not occur or discuss their findings in the context of pandemics or infectious disease outbreaks, COVID‐19 highlighted social connection as an important public health issue for nursing homes.…”

Background and Aims: Social connection is associated with better physical and mental health and is an important aspect of the quality of care for nursing home residents. The primary objective of this scoping review was to answer the question: what nursing home and community characteristics have been tested as predictors of social connection in nursing home residents? The secondary objective was to describe the measures of social connection used in these studies.Methods: We searched MEDLINE(R) ALL (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), APA PsycINFO (Ovid), Scopus, Sociological Abstracts (ProQuest), Embase and Embase Classic (Ovid), Emcare Nursing (Ovid), and AgeLine (EBSCO) for research that quantified associations between nursing home and/or community characteristics and resident social connection. Searches were limited to English-language articles published from database inception to search date (July 2019) and update (January 2021). Results:We found 45 studies that examined small-scale home-like settings (17 studies), facility characteristics (14 studies), staffing characteristics (11 studies), care philosophy (nine studies), and community characteristics (five studies). Eight studies assessed multiple home or community-level exposures. The most frequent measures of social connection were study-specific assessments of social engagement (11 studies), the Index of Social Engagement (eight studies) and Qualidem social relations (six studies), and/or social isolation (five studies) subscales. Ten studies assessed multiple social connection outcomes. Conclusion:Research has assessed small-scale home-like settings, facility characteristics, staffing characteristics, care philosophy, and community characteristics as predictors of social connection in nursing home residents. In these studies, there was no broad consensus on best approach(es) to the measurement of social connection.Further research is needed to build an evidence-base on how modifiable built

Virtual borders are employed to allow humans the interactive and flexible restriction of their mobile robots' workspaces in human-centered environments, e.g. to exclude privacy zones from the workspace or to indicate certain areas for working. They have been successfully specified in interaction processes using methods from human-robot interaction. However, these methods often lack an expressive feedback system, are restricted to robot's on-board interaction capabilities and require a direct line of sight between human and robot. This negatively affects the user experience and interaction time. Therefore, we investigate the effect of a smart environment on the teaching of virtual borders with the objective to enhance the perceptual and interaction capabilities of a robot. For this purpose, we propose a novel interaction method based on a laser pointer, that leverages a smart home environment in the interaction process. This interaction method comprises an architecture for a smart home environment designed to support the interaction process, the cooperation of human, robot and smart environment in the interaction process, a cooperative perception including stationary and mobile cameras to perceive laser spots and an algorithm to extract virtual borders from multiple camera observations. The results of an experimental evaluation support our hypotheses that our novel interaction method features a significantly shorter interaction time and a better user experience compared to an approach without support of a smart environment. Moreover, the interaction method does not negatively affect other user requirements concerning completeness and accuracy.

“…Our research mainly followed another direction where the explorations aimed to influence residents' social behavior or feelings by designing shared displays [14]. [13]. Both of the case studies conducted field trials and found a similar problem that many residents tended to passively watch instead of actively interacting with the displays.…”

R2S: Designing a Public Augmented Printed Media System to Promote Care Home Residents’ Social Interaction

Social interaction between care home residents was found to be limited and positive peer relationships were difficult to establish. Our research explores the potential of designing socio-technical interventions through digitally augmenting residents' daily activities in public spaces. In this paper, we present 'R2S', a system aiming to support residents' social interaction by augmenting public print media in care homes. We describe the design motivations, design process and a user trial of R2S. The result indicates a promising design direction to create shared experiences by augmenting individual behaviors in care homes. Implications are also discussed in three levels to inform future design of social technologies in public caring environments
