Abstract
Pour répondre au vieillissement de la population, des initiatives de dépistage et de prise en charge des problèmes de santé liés à l’âge sont mises en place, notamment en médecine de famille. Les résultats préliminaires d’une étude qualitative suggèrent que les personnes âgées sont ambivalentes face à la notion d’anticipation des problèmes, tendent à les banaliser et à être réticentes à en parler spontanément à leur médecin. Cependant, elles trouvent pertinent que ce dernier aborde le sujet avec des questions spécifiques, ceci permettant d’initier une discussion sur des problématiques sensibles. Les possibilités de prise en charge des syndromes gériatriques et du déclin fonctionnel semblent peu connues des patient-e-s. Le dépistage permet donc d’aborder ces problématiques et d’informer les patient-e-s au sujet de solutions existantes.
[Among the health strategies to respond to the aging of the population, initiatives for the screening and management of age-related health issues are implemented, including in family medicine. Preliminary results of a qualitative study suggest that elderly people are ambivalent about anticipating age-related issues, tend to trivialize them and to be reluctant to discuss them spontaneously with their doctors. However, they find relevant that their family doctor brings up the topic with specific questions, because that allows initiating a discussion about some of these sensitive issue. It appears that the awareness of the existing management of geriatric syndromes and functional decline possibilities is rather low. A screening initiative is therefore an opportunity to address these different issues and to inform patients about existing solutions.]
