| Abstract | Background: This study sought to determine the effects of a heritage-in-health intervention on well-being. Benefits of arts-in-health interventions are relatively well-documented yet little robust research has been conducted using heritage-in-health interventions, such as those involving museum objects. Methods: Hospital patients (n = 57) participated in semi-structured, 30-40 minute facilitated interview sessions, discussing and handling museum objects comprising selections of six artefacts and specimens loaned from archaeology, art, geology and natural history collections. Well-being measures (Positive Affect Negative Affect Scale, Visual Analogue Scales) evaluated the sessions while inductive and deductive thematic analysis investigated psycho-educational features accounting for changes. Results: Comparison of pre- and post-session quantitative measures showed significant increases in well-being and happiness. Qualitative investigation revealed thinking and meaning-making opportunities for participants engaged with objects. Conclusions: Heritage-in-health sessions enhanced positive mood and social interaction, endorsing the need for provision of well-being-related museum and gallery activities for socially excluded or vulnerable healthcare audiences. © 2013 Taylor & Francis. |
Mixed methods evaluation of well-being benefits derived from a heritage-in-health intervention with hospital patients. Theoretical Framework The multi-disciplinary study reported here used a mixed-methods approach to assess the well-being benefits of handling and discussing museum objects with a range of hospital patients. Instead the article focuses on participant themes and highlights important features of the participants role in the sessions. Results from the quantitative and qualitative analysis inferred that object handling sessions contributed positively to individual participant well-being and that a mixed method approach afforded a more nuanced view of the impact of object handling. In keeping with Brown and Wraggs work on the acquisition of learning skills the majority of questions asked by participants were cognitive in that they were keen to gain knowledge.
