Since Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Gulf War veterans have expressed concerns about health effects that could be associated with their deployment and service during the war. Although similar concerns were raised after other military operations, the Gulf War deployment focused national attention on the potential, but uncertain, relationship between the presence of chemical and biological (CB) agents and other harmful agents in theater and health symptoms reported by military personnel.
The objective of the "Culture-Aware Robots and Environmental Sensor Systems for Elderly Support' (CARESSES) project is to build culturally competent robots that are able to re-configure their way of acting and speaking when offering a service to a person they are assisting, and match his / her culture, customs and etiquette. This study will test and evaluate robots that have been configured to provide a culturally-competent care to older adults residing in care homes. It is hypothesised that by introducing robots, which are more sensitive to the user's needs and able to adapt to his / her cultural background, the CARESSES' innovative solution will offer a safe, reliable and intuitive system that fosters independence and autonomy, improves quality of life of older adults, and also reduces informal carer's burden. The methodology adopted to develop this culturally competent solution is based on the principles of Transcultural Nursing, specifically on Hofstede's Cultural dimensions theory (for describing general cultural characteristics at national level) and on Papadopoulos, Tilki and Taylor's model of cultural competence. 2ff7e9595c
