The Effectiveness of the Psychological Care of AI Emotional Companion Assistants Among Patients With Advanced Cancer

Brief Summary

Psychological issues in patients with advanced cancer are frequently overlooked, resulting in delayed or insufficient treatment. Current interventions are often limited by constraints related to space, location, and manpower, underscoring the need for accessible and feasible alternatives. This study examines the use of an AI emotional companion assistant and hypothesizes that, compared with the control group, the intervention group will experience improvements in depression, anxiety, and demoralization, along with enhanced quality of life and sleep quality. The study also aims to explore patients' experiences of interacting with the system.
