Detailed Description

During the past decade, museums have become involved in the care of patients by using art to improve their quality of life and well-being. Museums have, thus, emerged as new partners in public health. Very few programs developed by museums have focused on primary care patients who are a target audience for museum health program preventions. For the development of appropriate museum programs based on visit tour, there is a need to improve knowledge the effects of a museum visit prescribed by a primary care physician in patients. The objective of this study is to examine effects on mental and physical health and quality of life in primary care patients visiting the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA), this visit being prescribed by their physician. Based on a cross-sectional study it will be prescribed to all patients consulting their primary care physician to visit the MMFA and to complete after this visit a series of self-administered questionnaires within the two days after their visit at the museum. The period of recruitment will be one year. The outcomes are the scores of the different questionnaires.
