A qualitative study on the obstacles and promoting factors of the application of blood collection robot in the follow-up clinic for HIV-infected patients
Objective This study aims to explore the experiences and needs of HIV-infected individuals regarding the use of blood collection robots,as well as to identify the obstacles and promoting factors to the implementation of blood collection robots in HIV follow-up clinics.Methods A descriptive qualitative research approach was employed.A purposive sampling method was used to select 18 HIV-infected patients who had undergone robotic blood collection at the Shenzhen Third People's Hospital in June 2023.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants,and content analysis was performed to analyze and extract key themes from the data.Results Among the 18 interviewees,17 were male and aged between 22 and 50 years old.Their pain scores ranged from 0 to 6,and the blood collection duration varied from 168 to 251 seconds.Overall,17 participants were satisfied.Three obstacles were identified as limited knowledge among patients regarding blood collection robots,poor human-machine-environment interactions,and a lack of humanistic care.Three facilitators were identified as perceived benefits of using blood collection robots among HIV-infected individuals,awareness of discrimination,and the potential for broader application scenarios.Conclusions Future efforts should focus on improving HIV-infected individuals'understanding of blood collection robots,enhancing the hardware and functional design of such robots,improving the overall user experience,and encouraging patients to actively participate in decisions regarding the use of blood collection robots.
