Abstract

The research presented here argues for the development of an evaluation tool for elderly persons' adjustment to a retirement home that more specifically measures the psychospatial adjustment of home residents. Elderly persons who enter a retirement home must undergo a process that requires them to first disappropriate their old objects and then reappropriate the new ones that furnish their rooms. The order in which this process occurs is as follows: first, objects from their former residence; second, objects acquired after entry into a home; and, third, objects belonging to the retirement home. After the existence of this process had been verified in a sample of 130 residents aged 67 to 98 years, it was demonstrated that the evaluation tool used in this study significantly correlates with the scale developed by Castonguay and Ferron (1999) that measures elderly persons' adjustment to their environments (EAPAR), as well as with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), which evaluates levels of depression. In this study, this latter is an indicator of adjustment.

Résumé

Notre recherche se propose d'élaborer un outil d'évaluation de l'adaptation de la personne agée à la maison de retraite, mesurant plus spécifiquement l'adaptation psycho-spatiale des résidents. La personne agée qui entre en institution doit mettre en place un processus de désappropriation de ses anciens objets, suivi d'une réappropriation des divers objets meublant sa chambre dans l'ordre suivant: objets provenant de l'ancien domicile, objets achetés après l'entrée dans l'institution, suivi d'objets appartenant à la maison de retraite. Après avoir vérifié l'existence de ce processus auprès d'une population de 130 résidents agés de 67 à 98 ans, nous avons montré que notre outil corrèle de manière tout à fait significative avec deux instruments: (a) l'Échelle d'adaptation des personnes agées en résidence (EAPAR) mesurant l'adaptation des personnes agées à leur environnement et (b) l'Échelle de dépression gériatrique (EDG) évaluant le niveau de dépression et considéré ici comme un indicateur de l'adaptation.
