Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Program satisfaction - quality: NRS
"Please rate your satisfaction with the overall quality of your experience at the museum?" NRS - 0 (extremely dissatisfied) - 10 (extremely satisfied)
Primary clinical outcome for preliminary estimate of efficacy - Social disconnection
Social disconnection scale; 12 items; scored 1 (not at all) - 5 (very much); range 12-60

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in pain during intervention: 1=Yes/0=No
Did you experience any pain relief during the museum experience? 1=Yes/0=No
Percent change in pain during intervention
If "Yes", what percent pain relief did you receive? 0%-100%
Social disconnection
Social disconnection scale; 12 items; scored 1 (not at all) - 5 (very much); range 12-60
Pain unpleasantness
Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "not unpleasant" - 10 "Most unpleasant sensation imaginable ("intolerable")"
Pain unpleasantness
Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "not unpleasant" - 10 "Most unpleasant sensation imaginable ("intolerable")"
Pain intensity: Numerical rating scale (NRS) score
Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "no pain" - 10 "worst pain imaginable"
Pain intensity: Numerical rating scale (NRS) score
Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "no pain" - 10 "worst pain imaginable"
Pain interference
PEG scale - a 3 item scale to assess average pain intensity [P], interference with enjoyment of life [E], and interference with general activity [G]. Item 1: What number best describes your pain on the average in the last week? Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "no pain" - 10 "worst pain imaginable" Item 2: What number best describes how, during the past week, pain has interfered with your enjoyment of life? Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "does not interfere" - 10 "completely interferes" Item 3: What number best describes how, during the past week, pain has interfered with your general activity? Numerical rating scale (NRS) score of 0 "does not interfere" - 10 "completely interferes"
Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS)
The PCS is a 13 item scale, with each item rated on a 5-point scale between: 0 (Not at all) and 4 (all the time). The PCS is broken into three subscales including: magnification, rumination, and helplessness. The total range of scores is between 0-52 with higher values reflecting more salient impacts of pain on one's day to day experience.
Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire 8 (CPAQ-8)
8 items scale designed to measure acceptance of pain. Likert scale 0 (never true) - 6 (always true)
Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire 8 (CPAQ-8)
8 items scale designed to measure acceptance of pain. Likert scale 0 (never true) - 6 (always true)
PHQ 4
4 item scale to measure psychological distress (2 items depression; 2 items anxiety) Likert scale 0 (not at all), 1 (several days), 2 (more than half the days) and 3 (nearly every day)
Program satisfaction - recommend: NRS
How likely would you be to recommend this program to someone with a similar condition? NRS - 0 (extremely likely) - 10 (extremely unlikely)
Affinity for art
Participants respond to the following prompt: "I like art" Likert scale: 0 (not at all) - 5 (very much)
Affinity for art
Participants respond to the following prompt: "I like art" Likert scale: 0 (not at all) - 5 (very much)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Aim 1: To conduct a formative evaluation of museum-based programming to address loneliness and social isolation. Aim 2: To develop a consensus-derived Model Museum-Based Program (MMBP) to address loneliness among individuals with chronic pain. Aim 3: To evaluate the feasibility of museum experiences to reduce loneliness and pain among isolated individuals with chronic pain. Due to safety concerns related to the covid pandemic in-person museum programming could not continue and virtual versions of the interventions were created. We will publish results on both the in-person and virtual versions of the intervention as well as a pooled analysis.
