Effectiveness of Socially Assistive Robots in Promoting Positive Emotional Responses and Alleviating Postoperative Pain Among Children: Quantitative Study
Background: Pain remains a critical issue among hospitalized children and may negatively affect postoperative recovery. In addition to pharmacological pain management, nonpharmacological approaches have been used to support pediatric care. Among these emerging approaches, socially assistive robots (SARs) may offer an opportunity to support children during hospitalization. However, limited evidence exists regarding the use of SARs in pediatric postoperative recovery and their influence on childre
