Résumé

Contexte : La consommation de benzodiazépines est une pratique courante chez les personnes aînées. Cette consommation peut entraîner un problème de dépendance dont les critères du Manuel diagnostic et statistique des troubles mentaux, 4e édition révisée (DSM-IV-TR) ne s’appliqueraient pas toujours à la situation de l’aîné. Cette recherche vise à examiner l’association entre le sentiment de dépendance aux benzodiazépines et l’utilisation des services de santé par les aînés. Un objectif secondaire consiste à décrire l’utilisation des benzodiazépines chez les aînés vivant dans la communauté.

Méthode : Les données proviennent d’une enquête menée au Québec en 2005-2006 auprès d’un échantillon représentatif de 707 francophones âgés de 65 ans et plus vivant dans la communauté. Le sentiment de dépendance aux benzodiazépines a été évalué par une variable composite intégrant deux questions inspirées du DSM-IV-TR. L’utilisation des services de santé a été mesurée par l’incidence cumulée des consultations auprès des professionnels de la santé au cours d’une période de 12 mois.

Résultats : Les aînés ont consommé au total 745 benzodiazépines parmi lesquelles 117 (16,5 %) avaient une longue demi-vie d’élimination. La proportion d’aînés qui ont rapporté un sentiment de dépendance aux benzodiazépines a été estimée à 35,1 %. Ces aînés n’ont pas significativement davantage utilisé les services de santé pour leurs problèmes de dépendance aux benzodiazépines.

Conclusion : Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que l’utilisation des benzodiazépines chez les aînés au Québec est loin d’être optimale. Par ailleurs, le besoin ressenti de dépendance ne constitue pas un facteur suffisant pour amener les aînés à utiliser les services de santé pour la prise en charge d’un problème de dépendance. Il existe donc un besoin de recherche afin de mieux cerner les barrières associées à l’utilisation des services de santé par les aînés dépendants aux benzodiazépines.
