简要总结
This study evaluates the effects of MMFA visits on psychological, health, social conditions and personal interactions in older community dwellers with a precarious state and to determine whether these effects may change precarity.
详细描述
Precarity is a vulnerable state exposing individuals to adverse health, psychological social events. Older adults are exposed to precarity, especially those who were the old generation of immigrants in Canada. Art-based activities have also been proposed to community dwellers and have shown positive effects on health outcomes and are determinants for well-being with aging. The effects of participatory art-based activities on precarity in older adults have never been examined. Recently, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) developed a new participatory art-based activity which is a 3 month-period of weekly museum visits for precarious populations.

It will be used a questionnaire called: Evaluation of Health Precariousness and Inequalities in Health Examination Centers(EPICE). This questionnaire has 11 questions that summarize 90% a precarious state. The answer to each question is assigned a coefficient, the sum of the 11 answers gives the EPICES score. The score is continuous and ranges from 0 (no precarious social conditions) to 100 (maximum level of precarious conditions).The threshold of 30 defined a precarious state.
