Description of questionnaires for parents.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a research methodology for the assessment of the acceptability of a humanoid robot at home for children with cochlear implants (CI). The quality of audiology rehabilitation for cochlear implanted child administrated at the hospital with pluri-weekly sessions is a major prognostic factor in the outcome on communications abilities, but represents also a constraint for families related to the access to care that are more difficult. Further, home training with tools would balance the equitable distribution of care in the territory and promote the child’s progress. The humanoid robot should allow an ecological approach to this complementary training. Before developing this approach, it is necessary to study the acceptability of the humanoid robot at home, both by cochlear implanted child and their families. Ten families were chosen to have a humanoid robot at home, to explore their acceptability of the humanoid robot Pepper. The study lasts for 1 month per participants (i.e. cochlear implemented children and parent). Participants were invited to use the robot at home as much as they want. The humanoid robot Pepper was able to communicate and proposed activities not related to rehabilitation. Once a week during the study, data were collected from participants (questionnaires and robot’s logs) and the smooth running of the study was checked. Questionnaires are used to evaluate the acceptability of the robot by children and parents. User data from the robot’s logs are used to quantify the time and the actual use of the robot over the period of the study. Results of the experimentation will be reported, once all 10 participants have completed their passation. The robot is anticipated to be used and accepted by children with cochlear implants and their families.Clinical trial registration: Clinical Trials ID: NCT04832373; https://clinicaltrials.gov/.本论文旨在提出一套评估人工耳蜗植入（cochlear implants, CI）儿童在家使用类人机器人接受度的研究方法。针对人工耳蜗植入儿童的医院听力康复多采用周频多疗程方案，其质量是影响患儿沟通能力预后的核心因素，但同时也给家庭带来就医获取的不便，成为家庭照护的一大负担。此外，借助工具开展家庭训练可平衡区域内医疗资源的公平分配，并促进患儿的康复进展。类人机器人可为该补充康复训练提供生态化的实施路径。在开发该训练方案前，需分别评估人工耳蜗植入儿童及其家庭对在家使用类人机器人的接受度。本研究招募10个家庭，为其在家部署类人机器人Pepper，以探索家庭对该机器人的接受度。每位参与者（即人工耳蜗植入儿童及其家长）的研究周期为1个月，期间鼓励参与者按需在家使用该机器人。类人机器人Pepper可进行交互沟通，并提供与康复训练无关的活动内容。研究期间每周收集一次参与者的问卷数据与机器人运行日志，并核查研究流程的顺畅性。本研究采用问卷评估儿童与家长对机器人的接受度，借助机器人运行日志中的用户数据量化研究周期内机器人的使用时长与实际使用情况。待全部10名参与者完成全部研究流程后，将报告本试验的研究结果。本研究预期人工耳蜗植入儿童及其家庭能够使用并接受该机器人。临床试验注册信息：临床试验编号NCT04832373，网址：https://clinicaltrials.gov/
