Heritage, Health and Wellbeing - Mapping Future Priorities and Potential

“遗产、健康和福祉”项目是AHRC资助的“医院遗产”项目（AH/G000506/1）的后续项目，该项目评估了博物馆物品处理作为医院和养老院丰富干预措施的治疗潜力。“遗产、健康和福利项目”汇集了参与实施解决健康和福利问题方案的部门工作人员，以便规划英国和主要海外贡献，并为该部门制定了一个具有健全评估和衡量标准的健康和福利框架。这是一种针对遗产的测量和评价方法，包括评估该部门对健康和福祉的影响的潜在定量和定性方法。该项目举办了3个区域研讨会（伦敦、东北和西北），他们能够分享案例研究、最佳实践、评估方法和主要发现。他们建立了一个博物馆、健康和福利网络，该网络考虑需要一种特定部门的方法来衡量和评估对健康和福利的贡献。他们还探索了一系列定量（如生活质量、生活满意度和幸福量表）和定性（如扎根理论、内容分析、民族志方法）的方法。博物馆参与了关于“特定遗产、健康和福祉结果测量方法”的讨论，以确定未来的优先事项。建立了一个遗产、健康和福利网络，为建立网络和会见部门同事提供了新的机会。项目团队在伦敦大学学院建立了一个项目特定的网站，其中包括一个全面的部门贡献组合。

The 'Heritage, Health and Wellbeing' project is a follow-on from the AHRC funded 'Heritage in Hospitals' project (AH/G000506/1), which assessed the therapeutic potential of museum object handling as an enrichment intervention in hospitals and care homes for the elderly. The 'Heritage, Health and Wellbeing project' brought together sector workers involved in delivering programmes which address health and wellbeing in order to map out UK and key overseas contributions, and formulated a health and wellbeing framework for the sector with robust evaluation and measurement criteria. This was a heritage specific measurement and evaluation methodology comprising potential quantitative and qualitative approaches for assessing the sectors impact on health and wellbeing. The project held 3 regional workshops (London, North East, and North West) and they were able to share case studies, best practice, evaluation methodologies and key findings. They established a museums, health and wellbeing network, which considered the need for a sector specific methodological approach for measuring and evaluating contributions to health and wellbeing. They also explored a range of quantitative (e.g. quality of life, life satisfaction and wellbeing scales), and qualitative (e.g. grounded theory, content analysis, ethnographic methodologies) approaches. Museums were involved in discussions about a 'heritage-specific, health and wellbeing outcomes measurement methodology' in order to identify future priorities. A Heritage, Health and Wellbeing network was established, presenting new opportunities for networking and meeting fellow sector workers. The project team established a project specific website hosted at UCL which includes a comprehensive portfolio of sector contributions.
