Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight some of the work with/for/about older people being undertaken by museums during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, thinking of museums as caregivers. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the responses from museums which work with older adults, in times of pandemic. It reviews how museums have addressed older people during the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK and Portugal. Two Portuguese maritime museums which have older adults as strategic audiences are selected and their Facebook webpage during the lockdown is analyzed. Findings Museums were committed to delivering online the work they have been doing offline, not without limitations. The digital turn in times of pandemic draw attention to inequalities regarding visitors who has access and literacy to engage with the digital museum as well as museums themselves. Unlike in the UK, in the two maritime museums, there were no specific programmes targeting older people – except for COVID-19 messages. However, older adults are presented online as active and as experts on maritime issues, representing empowering versions of ageing, either online or offline. Originality/value This paper reviewed and illustrated with empirical examples from the UK and Portugal how museums are addressing older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to the wider debate on the role of arts, culture and cultural heritage for the well-being of older adults.

Abstract:
Abstract Museums, like other cultural institutions, are beginning to embrace a new role: facilitating creativity of older adults through education programs. A cohort of 20 American museums from Alaska to Puerto Rico are embarking on an ambitious two-year program, funded by Aroha Philanthropies, to develop successful creative aging programs in their communities. The cohort includes art museums, history centers, botanical gardens and a science museum. The group has received extensive training and technical assistance to build their capacity and awareness of needs and desires of older adults. The American Alliance of Museums (AAM), a partner in this initiative, is leading a deep dive into the potential of museums to enable older adults to learn, make and share the arts. With Aroha’s support, AAM has created a two-year position, the Aroha Senior Fellowship in Museums and Creative Aging to lead an exploration of how museums can deepen their engagement with creative aging.

Abstract Against a background of an overall decrease in attendance at museums, older Americans represent a contrast with a marked increase in attendance of those aged over 75. Drawing on theorists of museums and the narratives on ageing in the literature of museums, this introductory presentation gives an overview of the socio-political context of museums, the activities and roles of older people as currently presented through networks such as the Network of European Museums Organizations, and propose a fresh vision of the networks and synergies between older people, museums and gerontology.

Abstract:
Abstract Museums represent an evolving and under-recognized network of opportunity for examining aging while supporting optimal aging across the lifespan. Museums bind communities together in a civic body by “…identifying its highest values, its proudest memories, and its truest truths.”(Duncan, 1991). They represent a secular ritual of the modern state in which the spiritual heritage of the nation is offered as a public reinforcement of political values. Art museums are also sites which enable individuals to achieve liminal experience - to move beyond the psychic constraints of mundane existence, step out of time, and attain new, larger perspectives. The interaction and potential synergies between museums and aging have been insufficiently explored in gerontological scholarship, with the existing emphasis largely focussing on facilitating access to older people and those with age-related health conditions. This symposium reflects and magnifies the networking of GSA with a major art museum through an Educational Site Visit during GSA 2019 to the Blanton Art Museum. It proposes to review museums and ageing in a broader context, exploring the context within which aging is represented in the discourse of heritage and museums, museums networking to provide a repository of late-life creativity, networks of older people as a key resource and client group for museums, life-course and inter-generational engagement with museums. Finally, the insights that the ageing of art works provide for curating the longevity dividend through developing scholarly networks between gerontologists and curators.

War Museums and Agonistic MemoryWithin the EU-Horizon-2020-funded project Unsettling Remembering and Social Cohesion in Transnational Europe (UNREST),1 one work package (WP4) analyzed the memorial regimes of museums related to the history of World War I and World War II in Europe. An article by Anna Cento Bull and Hans Lauge Hansen (2016) entitled “Agonistic Memory” provided the theoretical framework for the analysis. Drawing on Chantal Mouffe’s work (2005, 2013), the authors distinguish three memorial regimes: antagonistic, cosmopolitan, and agonistic.Unexpected Encounters: Museums Nurturing Living and Ageing WellAs the world’s population ages, how can museums nurture living and aging well? The conference Unexpected Encounters: Museums Nurturing Living and Ageing Well, organized by the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) from the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester, set out to interrogate this question, and invited conference delegates to consider how museums unconsciously make assumptions about older people and perpetuate the dominant societal view of aging as a “problem.”

Abstract:
Abstract National, state, and local arts networks help build the capacity of public and private sector organizations to serve older adults through quality arts engagement opportunities. The National Endowment for the Arts has worked closely with state arts agencies to build networks through a community of practice to facilitate partnerships with artists, arts organizations, aging services, and the healthcare system. With more than 40 states participating, the initiative has resulted in new state partnerships, new state grant initiatives, and new arts learning programs for older adults. Arts service organizations also have a role to play in this work. For example, the American Alliance of Museums is building a network of museums that will develop and implement high-quality, intensive arts learning opportunities for older adults across the United States. This presentation will address how these networks are helping build capacity across the country to improve the health and well-being of older adults

Abstract:
The future of the museumsA lot of people worry on behalf of the museums. Museums are boring and dusty, and no one can be bothered to visit them, the young ones not at all, they want adventure, they want int eractive computer games. In a report published jointly by Elsebeth Gerner Nielsen, minister of cultural affairs, and Pia Gjellerup, then minister of commerce, in December 2000, the two ministers decreed that ”it is necessary for Danish economy that the cultural sector – museums, too – begin to think commercially.” If one asks what it takes, the answer is often: ”make the museum s come alive.” A visit to a museum should be an experience similar to a visit to Legoland or Disneyland. We presently see museum leaders anxious about being left behind by the development and feverishly trying to make their museums come alive. Visitors’ centres spring up like mushrooms in the Danish museum landscape, and the National Museum in Copenhagen recently hosted the Missing Link – alive! exhibition, which illustrated the development of humankind through four million years. Here, showcases contained moving robots, interactive elements where the visitors could measure their strength against the Neanderthal Man, compare hands with some of our supposed ancestors, touch copies of tools, answer questions about the development of man etc. – hardly any original material was presented. It is my belief that the idea shared by politicians and some museums – that re-enactment may attract visitors – is utterly unrealistic and that too much attention is paid to a couple of isolated successes.l am not against people having a good time. However, I do not think this an area for the museums to make themselves seriously felt. Other media deal with history coming alive. Historical plays by Shakespeare, Racine, Johann Friedrich Schiller and August Strindberg have been performed a thousand times. People have cried in torrents over the destiny of Anne Frank, they have shivered to witness the brutal murder on Julius Caesar, and they have breathlessly followed the conflict between Charles V and his son, Don Carlos, the governor of the Netherlands, which is described by Schiller in such a spellbinding fashion. Museums will never be able to create anything similar to this, no matter how much they dress the ticket seller or the museum keepers in medieval clothing, and no matter how many monkey tricks are made in the museum cafés in order to serve medieval food and sour ale.Re-enacting the past is not a museum task. Films, theatre, and literature will do that. Still, this does not mean that there is no room for museums. Because the museums have something no one else has. They have things from the past. Most things by far are lost in the course of time, and so it should be. At least that is how it is. Most furniture is worn out and goes to pieces, and the same fate befalls clothes, glasses, shoes, cars, toys, tractors, packing, calculating machines, ladles, anything. Things are perishable; they disappear due to the ravages of time. Items slip away between our hands, just as the time, and much faster than we think. In most homes only a few things are older than fifty years.So, the museums are treasuries that protect the few remaining items for eternity. Only a single pale yellow wrong-coloured Swedish three-shilling stamp from 1855 exists. It is the world’s most expensive stamp, traded in the 1990s for thirty million Dkr. It is depicted in books on stamps, you see it in newspapers, on the Internet, everywhere, but there is only a single original one. It was sold for a fortune, the rest of the millions of reproductions of it have no price – they are used for wrapping up fish, they are me rely copies. The whole truth, the whole authenticity, the radical certainty that in 1855, a Swedish printer by mistake used a three-shilling pr inting plate while printing yellow eightshilling stamps is held within the pushing presence of the original.The aura of authenticity raises the original items to a class by themselves and makes them incomparable to anything else. The real is the trump card of the museums. The more freewheeling flow of pictures, the more monitors and TV-screens that are put up wherever you turn, the more worthless copies, the more tokens are circulated, the larger is the hunger for real things. The museum is the very place where the flow of copies ends, the place where the neverending maelstrom of reproductions is stopped, in the museums there is peace, here the flicker and the noise and absent-minded clicking of the mouse ends, here the world begins. At a time where the monitor replaces reality, museums may satisfy the hunger for the real thing.The de-realisation of reality, the daily encounter with fleeting pictures of things has created a huge demand for meeting the things in themselves. Museums are a countermeasure against the monitors. The museums safeguard the spaciousness and the plasticity, the tangibly existing against the cold immateriality of cyberspace. The truth is concrete, not abstract. If the museums want it, they have a future.The museums are the owners of a marvellous raw material, which on the other hand gives no guarantee of success; it is merely the prerequisite for success – just as the best theat replay does no t guarantee a successful performance. The good exhibition makes it possible to rediscover direction and meaning in a world tortured by fear of the future. If the museums would trust themselves and open their eyes to the immense treasure of original objects that they have at their disposal and not let themselves be seduced by all the talk of the great narrative being lost and everything being hopeless, then they have a great time ahead of them. I for one am not worried.Thorkild KjærgaardNordborgTranslated by Annette Lerche Trolle

Abstract:
This study focused on investigating the relationship between leisure activity types selected by individuals aged 65 and older and their income. The target population included inhabitants of Mersin Province aged 65 and older. A purposive sample of 228 individuals was recruited to participate in the study. The questionnaire consisted of a demographic information form and the “Leisure participation scale”, including six different activity types for which the respondents were asked to determine the frequency of participation. The collected data were analysed for normality, and by applying the independent T-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In order to discover the cause of the inter-group differences (e.g. education level), Fisher’s LSD test was used. Significance was set at 0.05. The respondents’ participation in cultural activities was found to be positively correlated with their income level. Individuals in the low income group preferred “volunteering activities”, while individuals in the high income group preferred “cultural activities such as watching TV, going to cinema, concerts, museums”. Individuals in the moderate income group usually opted for “hobbies and indoor activities such as painting, reading, playing musical instruments”. Elderly people with moderate incomes, who tend to prefer indoor activities, should be encouraged to engage in outdoor activities that are more beneficial for their mental, physiological and psychological health. This results of the study can be used as recommendations concerning leisure activity types for private elderly care centers, ministries responsible for the health of elderly people, local authorities and other institutions that plan leisure activities for this social group.

Abstract:
This article is about the curation of youth dance programmes in museums that have been initiated and produced by the Norwegian Centre for Traditional Music and Dance (Sff). Located in Trondheim, Norway, this contains one of Northern Europe’s largest dance film archives. Through different channels of dissemination, the centre makes its old dance recordings relevant for different groups of users and potential users of various ages. This article explores how we can facilitate a dialogue amongst the youth on the relevance of the old dance recordings, and how we can influence the way young people understand their own dance expressions. The article also discusses whether conversations about dance and dance traditions combined with dance instruction make the links between the older and the younger generations’ dance expressions any easier.

Abstract:
BackgroundThere is a recognised need for the identification of factors that might be protective against the development of depression in older adults. Over the past decade, there has been growing research demonstrating the effects of cultural engagement (which combines a number of protective factors including social interaction, cognitive stimulation and gentle physical activity) on the treatment of depression, but as yet not on its prevention.AimsTo explore whether cultural engagement in older adults is associated with a reduced risk of developing depression over the following decade.MethodWorking with data from 2148 adults in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing who were free from depression at baseline, we used logistic regression models to explore associations between frequency of cultural engagement (including going to museums, theatre and cinema) and the risk of developing depression over the following 10 years using a combined index of the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and physician-diagnosed depression.ResultsThere was a dose–response relationship between frequency of cultural engagement and the risk of developing depression independent of sociodemographic, health-related and social confounders. This equated to a 32% lower risk of developing depression for people who attended every few months (odds ratio (OR) = 0.68, 95% CI 0.47–0.99, P = 0.046) and a 48% lower risk for people who attended once a month or more (OR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.34–0.80, P = 0.003). Results were robust to sensitivity analyses exploring reverse causality, subclinical depressive symptoms and alternative CES-D thresholds.ConclusionsCultural engagement appears to be an independent risk-reducing factor for the development of depression in older age.Declaration of interestNone.

Abstract:
Research suggests that social prescribing schemes can offer health and psychological wellbeing benefits to older people across a range of interventions. The present study sought to understand how museum programmes, designed to support socially isolated older adults, created opportunities to enhance wellbeing and change experiences of social isolation. A grounded theory approach was used to analyse initial interviews, 3-month follow-up interviews, and participant diaries, from 12 participants who took part in 10-week programmes across six different museums in London and Kent. A theoretical model was developed showing elements of museum programmes, such as the role of the facilitator, activities and physical space, that enabled both individual journeys and relational processes. In addition, individual journeys and relational processes influenced each other, enhancing the experience. These components operated within an interacting social context that was enriched by the museum programme. The theoretical model links with psychological concepts of attachment theory and self-esteem to explain how cultural group programmes could provide opportunities for change in older people. Limitations of the research, implications for clinical practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
The problem of this study was a test of a specific videotape designed to influence the actions of tour guides for older adult groups. The purposes of the study were to observe guide performances and older adult responses before and after training in techniques for sharing information with older adults in public spaces. The hypotheses were tested. 1) Guides after training would exhibit significant differences in behaviors of pointing, repeating, pausing, questioning, conversing, facing art when talking, talking inaudibly, pacing rapidly. 2) Older adult drop-outs would decrease on tours with especially trained guides.

Abstract:
The research reported in the thesis investigated exergaming acceptance and expe-rience in older people with special reference to technology acceptance, flowstate, chronic pain and balance control. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on the beneficial effects of exergaming on older people’s health, well-being and balance, including the use of exergaming as a method of pain con-trol. Nevertheless, when taken separately, specific studies vary in methodology and in type(s) of exergaming topics studied. Health benefits from exergaming may only be gained if older people take part in it. There is evidence in the literature to indicate that usage of a technology is preceded by user acceptance. Few studies, to date, have investigated how older people perceive and experience exergaming in relation to their perceived abilities and future intention to use it, from a technology acceptance point of view. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to see if (1) the exergaming technology was acceptable to healthy older people and older people with chronic pain and (2) it had any effect in the self-reported health status, pain conditions and balance in older people with chronic pain. The current thesis consists of two separate studies. In Study 1, twenty-eight healthy older people participated in six 40-minute exergaming sessions within a three-week period. In Study 2, fifty-four older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain attended a twelve 40-minute exercise intervention within a six-week period, either randomised into an exergaming group (IREXTMsystem) or standard physical exercises. A modified version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was analysed at baseline and upon completion of the intervention, including specific time points throughout the study. Self-perceived chronic pain and flow state were analysed at baseline and after exercise intervention. Rate of perceived expended physical and mental effort was recorded after every exercise session and compared between groups. Heart rate was recorded in the second study. Postural sway was assessed at the start and the end of the intervention with Centre of Pressure data being extracted via a Kistler force plate (AP SD, AP range ,ML SD, ML range and CoP velocity), where the conditions were quiet bipedal standing with eyes open and eyes closed. Evidence from both studies showed that exergaming technology was acceptable to healthy older people and older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Recorded high levels of flow indicated the occurrence of flow during the intervention. Perfor-mance expectancy emerged as the strongest predictor of older people’s behavioural intention to use exergaming. Previous behaviour was an important influence of future behaviour, within the context of exergaming. In Study 1, there were significant increases throughout the intervention in most of the flow state variables except challenge-skill-balance, paradox of control and transformation of time. Thematic analysis of olde rpeople’s responses relating to exergaming revealed that enjoyment was the most frequently cited theme. The significant increase of perceived physical exertion suggested that exergaming provided light-to-moderate intensity exercise for this cohort of healthy older people. In Study 2, an interesting pattern emerged over time where earlier on in the interven-tion, effort expectancy significantly predicted older people’s behavioural intention to use exergaming (instead of performance expectancy). This role was then taken over by performance expectancy midway through the intervention. This indicated that this sample of older people with chronic pain prioritised their personal ability to play the exergames, after which, they then considered the usability of the exergaming technology in choosing whether to use it in future, if it were readily made available. In addition, there was evidence of improvement in post-intervention pain intensity in the exergaming group, suggesting that exergaming may have alleviated older people’s experience of pain to some extent. Flow levels significantly increased from the start to the end of the intervention. Significant improvements over time in postural sway parameters in the control and exergaming groups suggested that short-term exercise contributed to improved balance in older people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The indication of improved postural sway due to significant mediolateral reductions in the eyes-closed condition in the both groups suggested that older people with chronic pain could benefit from at least subtle improvements in balance after taking part in short-term exercise. Nevertheless, exergaming may have an effect on postural sway when visual sensory information is removed, as found in the experimental group that demonstrated a statistically significantly lower reduction of CoP excursion in the medio-lateral direction, than in the control group.

Abstract:
Falls are a major cause of injury fear of falling and death affecting 24% of older people annually. Falls have a major impact on hospital services, are an important cause of carer strain and admission to long term care. Multifactorial interventions delivered to fallers are effective in reducing falls rates by 25%. However, no UK studies have evaluated the role of screening older people living in the community and offering those at high risk a falls prevention programme. This work describes two studies – the evaluation of a postal falls risk screening tool, and a randomised controlled trial assessing the benefits of offering a falls prevention programme to those identified as being at high risk. 335 older people were recruited into the screening study, using a modified version of the Falls Risk Assessment Tool. The sensitivity was 79%, specificity 58%, positive predictive value 50% and the negative predictive value 83%. In the RCT, 364 community-dwelling older people at high risk of falls were randomised into a pragmatic, multicentre trial evaluating falls prevention programmes. 181 were allocated to the control group and 183 to the intervention. The primary outcome was the rate of falls; the adjusted IRR was 0.73 (0.51-1.03), p=0.071. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the proportion of fallers, recurrent fallers, medically verified falls, injurious falls, time to first fall or time to second fall. Nor were there significant differences in terms of institutionalisation, mortality, basic or extended activities of daily living, or fear of falling. Further work on testing falls prevention interventions for acceptability is required, followed by a further adequately powered RCT to determine the clinical effectiveness of a systematic screening programme and intervention. At present, there is insufficient evidence for health care commissioners to recommend screening and intervention for falls.

Abstract:
It is evident that the global population is ageing, with an increasing proportion of people aged over 65 years. Typically associated with a high proportion of morbidity and mortality, care of the increasing ageing population presents a challenge, with age-appropriate research required to promote and facilitate healthy ageing. In the present work, a novel drug delivery technology, designed to enhance transdermal drug delivery, was considered in the context of its potential future use in the older population. Microneedles (MNs) consist of a plurality of tiny projections in the micron scale, arranged on a base plate, for application to the skin. This thesis considers the use of MNs by the older population from a number of perspectives, encompassing possible clinical uses, the possible impact of age-related changes in the skin and the feasibility and acceptability of the technology. Transdermal delivery of three drugs, commonly prescribed for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, was investigated, successfully demonstrating in vitro co-delivery of the drugs, using both a dissolving and a hydrogel­forming MN platform, achieving clinically relevant concentrations of each. MN arrays were successfully applied by a group of volunteers aged over 65 years, with breach of the stratum corneum confirmed using optical coherence tomography and 55.7% of the MN height observed to penetrate. Skin recovery was demonstrated to occur at a slower rate in those aged over 65 years than in a comparative group of volunteers aged 20 - 30 years, but was still predicted to regain original barrier function within 1.5 h of MN treatment. Qualitative methods were employed to collect the views and opinions of older people and community pharmacists regarding MNs, who were positive about the technology, identifying a number of benefits to MN-mediated drug delivery in older people. Concerns centred on practical issues associated with age-related functional decline, including, for example, reduced dexterity. This thesis is the first comprehensive investigation into the use of MNs by the older population, providing an initial demonstration of MN delivery of multiple drugs, for future extension to a relevant in vivo model. The ongoing involvement of end-users and healthcare practitioners is recommended to facilitate future acceptance of MN technology by the older population and design of an age-appropriate delivery platform.

Abstract:
There are estimated to be around 900 million older adults (aged 60 years and above), around 13 per cent of the world population. The COVID-19 pandemic helped shed light on the specific needs of older people as a group more susceptible to severe disease/infection, and revealed the lack of capacity within water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) NGOs to respond to these specific needs. This SLH Learning Paper explores the WASH needs of older people in both development and humanitarian contexts, as well as the fundamental role older people play in facilitating other people’s WASH access, health, and wellbeing. The paper refers to the data WASH actors collect on older people in order to understand their differing WASH needs, the barriers to accessing WASH, and the need to ensure older people’s participation, including their active role in helping find the solutions. Recommendations are made for planning with communities and programme design; WASH programme implementation and to reduce environmental barriers.
