“…Certains s’attardent spécifiquement à l’environnement physique (Fisher et Ewonishon, 2006; Sanford, Pynoos, Tejral et Browne, 2002) ou aux risques de chute (Clemson, Fitzgerald et Heard, 1999), mais ne permettent pas une évaluation exhaustive de la sécurité à domicile. Un autre outil a été élaboré pour une utilisation en milieu hospitalier (Robnett, Hopkins et Kimball, 2002). McNulty et Fisher (2001) ont toutefois observé qu’une évaluation en milieu naturel permet une estimation plus fidèle de la sécurité à domicile des personnes.…”

“…S’inspirant des travaux de Robnett et collaborateurs (2002) sur la prédiction de la sécurité à domicile suite à l’obtention du congé d’une unité de soins, ainsi que sur la documentation scientifique selon laquelle la sécurité à domicile n’est pas dichotomique, mais qu’elle se présente plutôt selon un continuum, l’ESGR s’inscrit dans une vision générique privilégiant le jugement clinique plutôt qu’un seuil critique. Il est conçu sous la forme d’une grille dont les énoncés s’appuient sur des données de recherche et vise à soutenir le raisonnement clinique et l’évaluation de l’ergothérapeute, laquelle se fera par observations, mises en situation et entrevues.…”

“…The Safe at Home Assessment is a standardized and function-based screening tool which determines the client's ability to identify and correct home safety problems (Robnett, Hopkins, & Kimball, 2002). Robnett, Hopkins, et al (2002), from the University of New England, developed the Safe at Home assessment. The first part of their study involved constructing 12 unsafe home situations.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine if recommendations made as a result of the administration of the Cougar Home Safety Assessment Version 4.0 (CHSA 4.0) were effective in causing older residents to make environmental safety modifications in their homes. Initial data were collected during the administration of the CHSA 4.0 in the homes of 40 older people in four northeastern states. After completing the initial assessments, the researchers provided the participants with recommendations for improving the environmental safety of their homes. Approximately one month later, each home was reassessed with the CHSA 4.0. Overall, improvement in environmental safety was demonstrated in the homes with the greatest increases being in fire safety, emergency phone number placement, and bathroom safety. A t-test demonstrated a significant gain in compliance (t = 7.8, p < .001) by comparing the difference between the mean initial and reassessment home safety scores. A very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.7) was also found, indicating a high magnitude of difference between initial and reassessment safety ratings. The assessment proved to be beneficial in increasing the environmental safety of homes.

“…A variety of assessment tools has been developed during the past 15 years to assist in reducing environmental fall hazards in the home. However, a large proportion of these tools were designed by and for professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in the area of environmental assessment and home safety (Clemson, Fitzgerald, Heard, & Cumming, 1999;Clemson, Roland, & Cumming, 1997;Robnett, Hopkins, & Kimball, 2002). There is some evidence that the use of these tools during home visits by therapists can effectively reduce the number of hazards there are in the homes of seniors (Cumming et al, 1999;Peel, Steinberg, & Williams, 2000;Stevens et al, 2001).…”
