Abstract
With the aging population, the demand for innovative well-being support has intensified. This study analyzed the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) intervention on the quality of life of older individuals through a meta-analysis of 13 domestic and foreign literature reviews. The overall effect size of AI intervention programs on the quality of life of older adults, assessed using the random-effects model, was found to be small (Hedges’ g = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.10–0.51). Additionally, the effect size of quality of life was examined based on the subfactors of the AI intervention program, revealing a range of 5–11 weeks. Robot intervention exhibited a higher effect size than smart device intervention. To improve the quality of life of older patients, further investigation is warranted, including a follow-up study to develop a systematic AI nursing intervention program tailored to the type of AI program and intervention duration.
