Abstract

This study examines the links between four organizational features of private housing for older persons (service level, perception of environmental control level, tolerance level of caregivers toward seniors and their input in decision making) and the social integration of seniors. This last variable is assessed according to four indicators: presence or absence of meaningful relationships, satisfaction with social life, feeling of loneliness and number of contacts with neighbours. The results obtained by analysing the logistic or ordinal regression and the odd ratio associate two of the four organizational variables studied to most of the social integration indicators irrespective of the subjects' vulnerability level. The two features are service level and perception of environmental control level.

Résumé

Le présent article traite des associations qui existent entre quatre caractéristiques organisationnelles des résidences privées pour aîné(e)s (niveau de service, perception du niveau de contrôle environnemental, niveau de tolérance des intervenants et place accordée aux personnes âgées dans la prise de décision) et l'intégration sociale des personnes âgées. Cette dernière variable étant mesurée à partir de quatre indicateurs: présence ou absence de relations significatives, satisfaction face à la vie sociale, sentiment de solitude et nombre de voisins fréquentés. Les résultats obtenus à partir d'analyses utilisant la régression logistique ou ordinale et le rapport des cotes (RC) permettent d'identifier que deux des quatre variables organisationnelles étudiées sont associées à la plupart des indicateurs de l'intégration sociale et ce, indépendamment du niveau de vulnérabilité des sujets. Ces deux caractéristiques sont le niveau de service et la perception du niveau de contrôle environnemental.
