Summary

Promoting good care, well-being and quality of life for geriatric patients is a long-standing initiative in Quebec, and one in which the Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM) has always been a leader. For example, the IUGM played a major role in drafting the reference framework for the AAPA (approach adapted to the needs of the elderly), which was introduced by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services Sociaux in 2011. The investigator propose to continue this work by focusing in this project on the development of a new intervention aimed at the well-being and quality of life of geriatric patients and based on music and VR. Thee investigator hypothesize (1) that a VR headset-based intervention based on listening to and observing a concert of musicians playing classical music is feasible for patients hospitalized at the IUGM's URFI and in patients attending the geriatric outpatient clinic, and (2) that this intervention can improve their mental health - i.e. their positive emotions, well-being and quality of life - and reduce their anxiety.
