Résumé

Échantillonnage des ménages de l'Ontario de la section de la santé de l'Enquête nationale sur la santé de la population de 1994–1995 a été relié à la base de données du Ontario Home Care Administrative System et l'on a exploré la relation entre les réponses des personnes interrogées et l'utilisation des soins à domicile dans les années qui ont suivi l'enquête dans le but d'évaluer les variables prédictives des soins à domicile. La prévalence de l'utilisation des soins à domicile chez les sujets de l'enquète s'élevait à 4,3 pour cent. Les facteur indépendants associés à une augmentation probable des soins à domicile étaient un age de 75 et plus, une contrainte des activités quotidiennes (AVQ) et des activités instrumentales de la vie quotidienne (AIVQ), une détérioration de la santé et l'utilisation antérieure de soins à domicile. Il faudra approfondir les travaux pour mieux comprendre les facteurs associés à l'utilisation des soins à domicile si l'on souhaite mieux définir le but et les objectifs des soins à domicile et contribuer à l'élaboration de modèles de financement de ces soins.
