初探博物館規劃長期性社會處方箋活動的現況與挑戰──以英國泰恩威爾郡檔案與博物館為例

A preliminary study on the current situation and challenges of Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums planning long-term social prescribing schemes

近年，國內博物館界出現鼓吹發展臺灣版社會處方箋聲音，多所博物館對於發展社會處方箋活動表達興趣，但仍不清楚該從何開始。於此，本文以英國泰恩威爾郡檔案與博物館（Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums, TWAM）社會處方箋活動為個案，探討該館活動規劃目標、策略與挑戰。本研究透過半結構式訪談與非參與式觀察，蒐集與分析資料。研究結果顯示，TWAM社會處方箋活動強調強化或改善長者認知、情緒、身體及社交功能、協助長者了解居住環境歷史脈絡；活動規劃策略立基於「五大要素」與「五感體驗」，並以長者需求為中心，滾動式調整。此外，該館也重視跨領域作業並與外部單位建立合作模式及共識。挑戰方面，該館目前仍未設有專款支持處方箋活動，及現今專職人員數量及館內友善平權培訓仍稍嫌不足。

In recent years, there have been voices in the museum sector advocating the development of the Taiwan version of social prescribing. Many museums have expressed interest in developing social prescribing schemes, but where to start remains to be seen. Hence, this study took the social prescribing programs of Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums (TWAM) as a case study to discuss the objectives of programs, core principles, and challenges that the museum faced. This study collected and analyzed data through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation. The research results showed that the TWAM social prescription activities emphasized strengthening or improving cognitive, emotional, physical, and social functions in older adults; and assisting the elderly in understanding the historical context of surrounding development. In addition, the core principles of planning and implementing social prescribing programs were based on the 'five ways to well-being' and 'multiple sensory stimulations.' Also, TWAM placed older adults’ needs at the center of program planning and implementation. Moreover, TWAM regarded interdisciplinary collaboration as crucial, established a cooperation strategy, and build consensus with stakeholders. In terms of challenges, TWAM currently needs a specific fund to support social prescribing programs that run for a long time. The number of full-time professionals and the dementia-friendly and social inclusion training in TWAM still need to be increased.
