| Abstract | This paper presents research findings that help to understand how museum programs created opportunities to enhance wellbeing and health, and changed experiences of social isolation in older adults. The research conceptualized how program elements enabled both individual experiences and relational processes to occur. These components operated within a context that was enriched by the museum as a place to support wellbeing and enhance social interaction. To meaningfully support socially isolated older people as part of local public health strategies, museums need to be accessible and engaging places that purposively support social interaction by involving people and objects, participating in multiple sessions over time, that are facilitated by skilled and knowledgeable staff. © 2017 The Authors |
Museum-based programs for socially isolated older adults: Understanding what works. The present study sought to understand how museum-based social prescribing programs reduced social isolation for older people by determining the specific elements and processes involved and how these interacted to create a social and physical environment that enhanced psychological wellbeing. Education can increase cultural exposure and connect with values thus improving self-esteem. The social and relational aspects that emerged in the current study were important both in terms of self-esteem wellbeing and social resources. In this current study the process of judging others and the value placed on the risk of forming relationships held some participants back from connecting with new people.
