Culture, intended as the set of beliefs, values, ideas, language, norms and customs which compose a person’s life, is an essential element to know by any robot for personal assistance. Culture, intended as that person’s background, can be an invaluable source of information to drive and speed up the process of discovering and adapting to the person...
Research focusing on the development of socially assistive robots (SARs) that will promote the health, well-being and quality of life of older persons and of their caregivers has been growing in recent years. This growth has prompted a great deal of ethical reflection on the future of SARs in care, but there is an increasing awareness of the divide...
The functionalities and behaviours of socially assistive robots for the care of older people are usually defined by the robot's designers with limited room for runtime adaptation to meet the preferences, expectations and needs of the assisted person. However, adaptation plays a crucial role for the robot's acceptability and ultimately for its effec...

This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of an individualized, home-based routines intervention targeting preschool-age children's everyday sleeping and eating routines. Using a one-group, pre–post design (N = 11), single mothers with 3- to 5-year-old children participated in an intervention over 6 weeks. Data (self-report, actigraphy,...
INTRODUCTION: Everyday routines promote children's health. In the present study, we examined whether children's participation in everyday routines at ages 4 and 6 years predicted their sleep duration at age 6 years. METHOD: A secondary analysis of data was performed for 177 families who participated in the Rochester Preschool Children Injuries Stud...
In this randomized controlled trial we tested the efficacy of an intervention program (CARE: Creating Avenues for Relative Empowerment) for improving outcomes of hospitalized older adults and their family caregivers (FCGs). FCG-patient dyads (n = 407) were randomized into two groups. The CARE group received a two-session empowerment-educational pro...
Consistent daily routines have been associated with children's well-being, but children of single parents are less likely to engage in regular family meals or bedtime routines. This study explored routines and the challenges of maintaining routines as experienced by single mothers with a preschool age (3-5) child. Four focus groups (N = 12) were co...
This article provides a review of the literature on beliefs that parents of children with autism hold, with a focus on their beliefs on the cause and course of the disorder. Research on the outcomes of their beliefs also was reviewed.

PROJECT 1: Building on the evidence around the importance of spiritual support in the healthcare sector, this study set out to explore and answer the following questions:
1. To what extent has the provision of spiritual support for the COVID-19 hospitalised patients been covered by mass and social media and the websites of spiritual leaders/institutions and those of the NHS, in England, in the period between 20th March to 20th May?
2. How has the provision of spiritual support for the COVID-19 hospitalised patients been represented within by mass and social media and the websites of spiritual leaders/institutions and those of the NHS, in England in the period between 20th March to 20th May?
3. Has the COVID-19 pandemic affected how spiritual support is conceived, valued, and enacted within the NHS in England in the period between 20th March to 20th May?
4. What are the lessons we can draw from the findings of this study?
PROJECT 2:
The importance of spiritual support in health/care is an evidence, and the need for major health disasters strategic framework which plan its provision. During MHDs, the demand for spiritual support grows exponentially. Senior nurses and spiritual leaders alike bear a great responsibility for the patients’ spiritual well-being and are an indispensable workforce during health emergencies. The aim of this study is to identify the components for a national strategy for the provision of spiritual support to patients, their relatives and staff during MHDs and emergencies.
With semi-structured e-interviews, this study explores nurses managers’ and spiritual leaders’ experiences and views in relation to SCS in England during COVID-19, from March 2020 to July 2021.
Study funded by Burdett Trust for Nursing.
The aim of this study is to explore, from a cultural perspective, how managers view, define, recognize and practice compassion, and whether they receive compassion from their direct reports.
