Home Satisfaction: Related Health and Psychosocial Variables

Abstract: In later life, the home plays an increasing role as a site for leisure activities, social interaction, and personal growth. This research examined variables that were hypothesized to relate to home satisfaction for older adults. Home satisfaction was also compared to life satisfaction. Sixty-four older adults provided information on home satisfaction; health capacity; the psychosocial variables of self-esteem, locus of control, and social support; and life satisfaction. Home satisfaction was best predicted by … Show more

“…For example, research indicates that age is positively related to residential satisfaction (Adams, 1992;Goodman & Hankin, 1984) and that gender (female), marital status (married), and race (African American) are negatively correlated with residential satisfaction (Galster & Hesser, 1981). Contributions of personal needs and personality styles to neighborhood satisfaction have also been considered (Taylor, Shumaker, & Gottfredson, 1985), with research demonstrating that individuals with high self-esteem are more likely to report residential satisfaction than are their counterparts with low self-esteem (Klein, 1993). Concern for personal safety, which is independent of actual neighborhood crime rates, has also been associated with neighborhood satisfaction (Adams, 1992;Goodman & Hankin, 1984).…”

“…Researchers have specified salient influences on residential satisfaction based on both personal characteristics (Bruin & Cook, 1997;Golant, 1992;Jirovec, Jirovec, & Bosse, 1984, 1985Klein, 1993) and on environmental antecedents (Carp & Christensen, 1986;Christensen & Carp, 1987;Lawton, Brody, & Turner-Massey, 1978). The influences of P-E transactions on residential satisfaction and psychological well being have also been explored in gerontological research (Cvitkovich, 1999;Kahana et al, 1980;Lawton, 1980).…”

“…Ces résultats indiquent que la satisfaction des provisions sociales est reliée à une perception positive de la qualité de vie, conformément aux hypothèses qui découlent de la théorie sous-jacentes à l'ÉSDV. Nos résultats vont dans la même direction que ceux rapportés par plusieurs auteurs qui ont utilisé différents instruments (Klein, 1993;Andrews et al, 1978;Bowling et al, 1993) et plus particulièrement avec ceux de Baker et al (1992) obtenus avec l'instrument original, soit le Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale.…”

“…Les nombreuses recherches portant sur les difficultés d'adaptation de la personne âgée à sa résidence mettent ainsi à la fois l'accent sur des facteurs personnels et des caractéristiques organisationnelles. Parmi les facteurs personnels relevés, citons, entre autres, la perception du contrôle environnemental (Golant, 1982 ;Maltais, 1999 ;Smider, Essex et Ryff,1996), le contrôle décisionnel (Reinardy, 1992), le soutien social perçu (Ford et Procidano, 1990), la satisfaction liée au logement (Carp, 1987), la capacité d'acceptation ou « acceptance » (Dittmann-Kohli, 1990 ;Ranzijn et Luszcz, 1999), la résilience (Ryff, Singer, Love et Essex, 1998) et le locus de contrôle (Kelin, 1993). En ce qui concerne les caractéristiques organisationnelles de la maison de retraite, les auteurs s'accordent à reconnaître que les résidences qui proposent un niveau de service élevé (Maltais, 1999 ;Speare et Meyer, 1988), encouragent l'entraide entre locataires (Colling, 1985 ;Moos et Lemke, 1994), permettent leur participation aux prises de décision (Moos et Lemke, 1994 ;Saup, 1986) et/ou favorisent les contacts sociaux avec l'extérieur (Johnson et Barer, 1992) facilitent l'adaptation des personnes âgées à leur nouvel environnement.…”
