In recent years, cultural institutions have supported public wellbeing (e.g. increasing offers of activities and volunteering opportunities) and can be considered 'community assets' that are central to social prescribing. Social prescribing aims to empower people to address 'non-medical' challenges (e.g. isolation, anxiety, low mood) that affect how they feel physically and psychologically. The NHS has seen the introduction of link workers, employed to work in GP practices to facilitate social prescribing by connecting people to community assets (e.g. groups, organisations, charities). This might include connections to cultural institutions, which can ameliorate social isolation and give people a focus away from their worries. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting what the cultural sector can offer, at a time when significant mental and/or social consequences of the crisis are anticipated, especially among older people. From the outset, this population was identified as 'at risk' from the condition itself and responses to it, including extreme isolation, especially if unfamiliar with online communication. Our research will explore how cultural institutions adapt to support older people's wellbeing. This will allow us to provide recommendations on being 'referral-ready'[1] cultural institutions for social prescribing for older people in the context of the current pandemic and future ones. We will use a realist approach to explore what works, for whom, why and in what circumstances. We will synthesise existing evidence to develop a programme theory on how cultural institutions might be best mobilised and engaged to support older people's resilience during and after the pandemic. We will refine this programme theory by testing it through further data collection: interviews with older people/cultural institution staff and survey with link workers.

近年来，文化机构支持公共福利(例如，增加活动和志愿服务机会)，可被视为对社会处方至关重要的“社区资产”。社交处方的目的是让人们能够应对影响他们身体和心理感觉的“非医学”挑战(如孤立、焦虑、情绪低落)。NHS已经引入了LINK工人，他们受雇在全科医生诊所工作，通过将人们与社区资产(例如团体、组织、慈善机构)联系起来，促进社会处方。这可能包括与文化机构的联系，这可以改善社会孤立，让人们从担忧中解脱出来。新冠肺炎大流行正在影响文化部门所能提供的东西，而此时预计这场危机将产生重大的精神和/或社会后果，特别是在老年人中。从一开始，这一群体就被认为是这种疾病本身及其反应的“危险”，包括极端孤立，特别是如果不熟悉在线交流的话。我们的研究将探索文化机构如何适应支持老年人的福祉。这将使我们能够就在当前和未来的大流行背景下为老年人提供社会处方的‘转诊准备’[1]文化机构提出建议。我们将使用现实主义的方法来探索什么对谁有效，为什么有效，在什么情况下有效。我们将综合现有证据，开发一种方案理论，说明如何最好地动员和参与文化机构，以支持老年人在大流行期间和之后的复原力。我们将通过进一步的数据收集来检验这一方案理论：与老年人/文化机构工作人员的访谈和与LINK工作人员的调查。
