abstract = {In the lives of people with dementia, loneliness is an
important issue with psychological and physical
consequences. Active assisted living (AAL) technology has
been gaining visibility in the care of persons living with
dementia, including addressing loneliness. However, to the
best of our knowledge, there is a lack of evidence
concerning the factors influencing the implementation of AAL
technology within the context of dementia, loneliness, and
long-term care (LTC).We aimed to identify the familiarity
with AAL technology that is promising for addressing
loneliness in persons living with dementia in LTC in Europe
and the factors influencing AAL technology implementation.A
web-based survey was developed based on findings from our
previous literature review. The Consolidated Framework for
Implementation Research guided the development and analysis
of the survey. Participants included 24 representatives of
Alzheimer Europe member associations from 15 European
countries. The data were analyzed using basic statistical
methods (descriptive statistics).The baby seal robot Paro
was reported to be the most familiar AAL technology by 19 of
24 participants addressing loneliness in people with
dementia living in LTC. Participants from Norway (n=2)
reported familiarity with 14 AAL technologies, and
participants from Serbia (n=1) reported zero familiarity. It
seems that countries that invest less in LTC facilities are
familiar with fewer AAL technologies. At the same time,
these countries report a more positive attitude toward AAL
technology, express a higher need for it, and see more
advantages than disadvantages than those countries that
invest more in LTC. However, a country's investment in LTC
facilities does not seem to be linked to other
implementation aspects such as costs, planning, and the
impact of infrastructure.Implementation of AAL technology to
address loneliness in dementia seems to be linked to
familiarity with the technology in a country as well as
national investment in LTC facilities. This survey confirms
the literature on higher investment countries' critical
stance in regard to AAL technology implementation to address
loneliness in persons living with dementia living in LTC.
Further research is needed to clarify the potential reasons
why familiarity with more AAL technology does not seem to be
directly linked with acceptance, positive attitude, or
satisfaction with AAL technology addressing loneliness in
persons living with dementia.},
