Objective To broaden the current understanding of the usage willingness about artificial intelligence (AI) robots and relevant influence factors for elderly patients. Methods The elderly patients in the inpatient ward, outpatient department and physical examination of the Department of Geriatrics, West China Hospital of Sichuan University were selected by convenient sampling for investigation between February and April 2020, to explore the willingness of elderly patients to use AI robots and related influencing factors. Results A total of 446 elderly patients were included. There were 244 males and 202 females. The willingness to use AI robots was (14.40±3.62) points. There were statistically significant differences among the elderly patients with different ages, marital status, living conditions, educational level, current health status, current vision status, current hearing status, self-care ability and family support in their willingness to use AI robots (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education level and family support were the influencing factors of use intention (P<0.05). Among the elderly patients, 60.76% had heard of AI robots, but only 28.03% knew the medical application of AI robots, and only 13.90% had used AI robot services. Most elderly patients (>60%) thought that some adverse factors may reduce their usage willingness, like “the price is too expensive” and “the use is complex, or I don’t know how to use”. Conclusions Elderly patients’ cognition of AI robots is still at a low level, and their willingness to use AI robots is mainly affected by age, education level and family support. It is suggested to consider the personalized needs of the elderly in terms of different ages, education levels and family support, and promote the cheap and user-friendly AI robots, so as to improve the use of AI robots by elderly patients.
ObjectiveTo analyze the methods and effects of the reformation of undergraduate course of geriatric nursing in China.

ObjectiveTo improve activities of daily living (referring to Barthel Index) in the older inpatients.MethodsIn January 2016, a quality control circle (QCC) was established. According to 10 steps in activity of QCC, we figured out the causes of low Barthel Index score in older inpatients by using Plato method and Fishbone Diagram which were common methods of QCC. In addition, we designed and implemented a rectification program to improve Barthel Index score.ResultsAfter intervention of QCC, the average Barthel Index score of the older inpatients increased from 72.40±6.42 to 89.30±5.87 with a statistical difference (P<0.01); the satisfaction percent of hospitalized patients increased from 94.5% to 98.7% with a statistical difference (P<0.01). The percentage of registered nurses whose theoretical test score were over 90 increased from 57% to 88% (P<0.01) and the satisfaction percent of nurses increased from 90.5% to 95.6% (P<0.01). Moreover, the member’s ability of learning, discovery, analysis and problem solving, communication, application of QCC skills were improved.ConclusionThe application of QCC activities will increase older inpatients’ Barthel Index score, improve the satisfaction of patients and nursing staff, and enhance the members’ ability of solving problems by using QCC skills.
