“…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.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and field test the Cougar Home Safety Assessment version 2.0 (Cougar 2.0). Method: First, the Cougar 2.0 was adapted and developed from the Cougar 1.0 — a tool made for a prior study. The Cougar 2.0 was then field tested in the residences of 44 older adults who lived alone. Additionally, the residents and a panel of occupational therapy home care specialists completed questionnaires about the assessment. Results: A number of concerning safety hazards were identified. An overall mean safety score of 89% was obtained. Fire risk criteria were the most unsafe. Favourable face validity feedback was obtained. Conclusion: There is a need for occupational therapy home safety assessment for older people who live alone. The Cougar 2.0 appears to be a valid tool in this regard.
