Quality of Life Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Art Museum Activity Program for the Elderly on Health: A Pilot Observational Study
Older adults, defined as 65 years or older, are increasing in number and representing a larger part of Canadian population. Assessing and addressing the needs of this growing number of individuals is essential. Practicing art and/or being involved in cultural programs could enhance health and quality of life of older adults. The overall objective of the proposal is to describe the characteristics (i.e.; socio-demographic, health condition and quality of life) and their changes in older adults participating in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA; Quebec, Canada) art activities program called "Les Beaux Jeudis". An observational, prospective, cohort study, before and after participation in MMFA art activities program "Les Beaux Jeudis" will be performed.
The population is aging. Aging is often associated with worsening health, which increases the
risk of a poor quality of life. It has been reported that practicing art and/or being
involved in cultural programs, especially participatory-based art activities, enhances the
quality of life of patients. No effect on health and quality of life has been reported in
community-dwellers living independently at home. Since October 2015, the Montreal Museum of
Fine Arts (MMFA; Quebec, Canada) has successfully initiated a series of participatory-based
art activities called "Les Beaux Jeudis" for older community-dwellers. This art museum
program includes several activities such as: cultural mediation workshops, supervised museum
visit and tours as well as a combination of both activities. Here, the investigator has the
unique opportunity to examine whether and how the MMFA art activities program influences
health conditions and the quality of life in older community-dwellers.
Objectives
The objectives of the proposal are to examine: 1) The socio-demographic, health and quality
of life characteristics of older adults before, during and after their participation in the
MMFA art activities program "Les Beaux Jeudis" 2) Compliance to the MMFA art activities
program 3) Self-assessment of health and quality of life feasibility using a personalized
e-Health application, accessible online on the web platform of the Telehealth McGill
integrated university health network.
Methods
The design of this study is: observational, prospective, cohort study, before and after
participation in the MMFA art activities program "Les Beaux Jeudis". The recruited population
will be older adults who are participants of the MMFA art activities program. Three
participatory-based art activities are examined: 1) Cultural mediation workshop 2) Supervised
museum visit and tour of museum 3) Cultural mediation workshop combined with supervised
museum visit and tour of museum. Each participatory-based art activity is a weekly activity.
The duration of the MMFA art activities program is 3 months. Five outcomes are examined:
Socio-demographic characteristics, health condition, quality of life, compliance to the MMFA
art activities program and the usability of a personalized e-Health application.
