AbstractFormal care providers who take care of the growing elderly population are also getting older, so the role of caring robots in care field is highly anticipated. However, we still do not know which caring area has the most difficulty when the caregivers provide care in the older adults and disabled. It is intended to suggest the direction of caring robot development by figuring out what the burden of care is. At present, Korean government and private companies are trying to develop several types of caring robot and caring objects. The purpose of the study was to examine the level of difficulty in activities of daily living (ADLs) care and the functional level of care recipient’s ADL in formal caregivers of older adults and disabled in Korea.Keywords: care burden, care attitude, older adults, persons with disability
