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.
本文提出了一些研究结果，有助于了解博物馆项目如何为增强老年人的幸福感和健康创造机会，并改变他们的社交孤立体验。该研究构想了项目要素如何使个人体验和关系过程同时发生。这些组成部分在博物馆作为支持幸福感和增强社会互动的场所的背景下运作。为了在地方公共卫生战略中切实支持社交孤立的老年人，博物馆需要成为可及和吸引人的场所，通过涉及人员和物品、随着时间的推移多次参与、由熟练和知识渊博的员工提供便利等方式，有目的地支持社交互动。
