AbstractKorea is currently experiencing a rapid increase in the aging population compared with other OECD countries (Statistics Korea, 2020). A consequence of this has been an increase in the number of people who need care but also a lack of caregiver availability (Lim et al., 2019). To address this problem, not only Korea, but other countries are researching the effectiveness of robot care technology for both the elderly and disabled (Kim, 2019). The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the experiences of caregivers using feeding assistance robots.Keywords: care robot, feeding assistance robot, care burden, elderly care, content analysis
