Attitudes et perception de contrôle des personnes âgées envers la prise de médicaments à action anxiolytique, sédative et hypnotique (ASH)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 April 2011
Abstract
This study examines the importance of variables from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (i.e.,attitudes toward behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived control) for the prediction of consumption of anxiolytic and sedative-hypnotic (ASH) medications in a sample of older persons, aged 69 years on average, 62 consumers and 92 non-consumers. A favourable attitude toward ASH and a sense of having less control regarding these drugs predict both current usage and intention to continue. Perceived control predicts intention to start consumption of ASH in current non-consumers. This study underlines the importance of considering the role of the older person’s decisional power in the consumption of these medications.
Résumé
Cette étude examine la contribution des variables de la Théorie du Comportement Planifié (attitudes envers le comportement, normes subjectives, perception de contrôle) à la prédiction de la consommation de médicaments à action anxiolytique, sédative et hypnotique (ASH) au sein d’un échantillon de personnes âgées en moyenne de 69 ans, constitué de 62 personnes qui consomment ces médicaments et de 92 qui n’en consomment pas. Les résultats indiquent que, chez les consommateurs, des attitudes favorables à l’égard des ASH et le fait de ressentir peu de contrôle envers cette consommation en prédisent le recours actuel, de même que l’intention de continuer. Par ailleurs, la perception de contrôle prédit l’intention de débuter la prise d’ASH chez les non-consommateurs. Cette étude souligne l’importance de tenir compte du pouvoir décisionnel des personnes âgées quant à la prise de ces médicaments.
