Impacts of Art Museum-Based Dementia Programming on Participating Care Partners
Lamar, Katherine L.; Luke, Jessica J.
Journal of Museum Education, v41 n3 p210-219 2016
The purpose of this study was to describe the impacts of art museum-based dementia programming on participating care partners (CPs). Data were collected through telephone interviews with 29 caregivers who participated in one of three dementia programs: "here: now" at The Frye Art Museum, Seattle; "Meaningful Moments" at the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; and "Minds on Art" at the Detroit Institute of the Arts, Michigan. CPs reported that the program afforded them multiple benefits for their well-being, including stress relief and reduced feelings of social isolation. Results suggest the value of programs such as these within the growing population affected by dementia.
