“…The link between QOL and accomplishment level of participation has been previously supported [51,[53][54][55], but these studies did not consider satisfaction with participation. Bubolz et al [56] did, however, consider satisfaction with participation and found that satisfaction with accomplishment is the strongest correlate (r = 0.55; P < 0.001) and alone explains 31% of QOL.…”

Purpose-This study aimed to (1) explore whether quality of life (QOL) is more associated with satisfaction with social participation (SP) than with level of accomplishment in SP and (2) examine respective correlates of accomplishment level and satisfaction with SP.Methods-A cross-sectional design was used with a convenience sample of 155 older adults (mean age = 73.7; 60% women) having various levels of activity limitations. Accomplishment level and satisfaction with SP (dependent variables) were estimated with the social roles items of the assessment of life habits. Potential correlates were human functioning components.Results-Correlations between QOL and accomplishment level and satisfaction with SP did not differ (P = 0.71). However, best correlates of accomplishment level and satisfaction with SP were different. Higher accomplishment level of SP was best explained by younger age, activity level perceived as stable, no recent stressing event, better well-being, higher activity level, and fewer obstacles in "Physical environment and accessibility" (R 2 = 0.79). Greater satisfaction with SP was best explained by activity level perceived as stable, better self-perceived health, better wellbeing, higher activity level, and more facilitators in "Social support and attitudes" (R 2 = 0.51).Conclusion-With some exceptions, these best correlates may be positively modified and thus warrant special attention in rehabilitation interventions.

“…Les aspirations de l'individu sont-elles en concordance avec les moyens dont il dispose, et l'entourage est-il suffisamment riche pour supporter (au sens anglo-saxon du terme) les investissements de l'individu? (Bubolz et al, 1980). Par extension, cette approche soulève aussi la pertinence d'évaluer la qualité de vie de l'entourage et des soignants.…”

La qualité subjective de la vie émerge ces dernières années comme un concept central dans les prises en charge thérapeutiques. Cependant la préoccupation de la réintégration des malades mentaux apparaît dès le début de la psychiatrie (1798). Différentes stratégies réadaptatives anglo-saxonnes, germaniques et latines ont été développées, en particulier depuis les années 1950. Une approche au départ objective, le concept de qualité de la vie évolue vers une approche contemporaine essentiellement subjective. L'auteur propose un modèle compréhensif des variables sous-tendant ce concept dans le cadre de la pratique clinique.In recent years, subjective quality of life has increasingly become a central concept in therapeutic treatment. However, the concern to reintegrate mental health patients has existed since the very beginning of psychiatry (1798). As a result, various Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and Latin readaptation strategies were developed, particularly since the 1950s. Considered objective at first, the concept of quality of life evolved toward a contemporary approach which is essentially subjective. To discuss the matter, the author presents a comprehensive model of the variables underlying this concept in the context of clinical practice

“…Certains chercheurs ont toutefois tenté de formuler des théories de ce qui fait la qualité de la vie et d'en identifier les facteurs responsables. On retrouve, parmi les cadres d'analyse proposés, un modèle écologique, (Bubolz et al, 1980) ; un modèle où la qualité de la vie est associée à l'ajustement entre les besoins et les ressources de l'individu, d'une part, et entre sa performance dans l'accomplissement des rôles et les attentes, d'autre part (Bigelow et al, 1982) ; un modèle qui met en étroite relation la notion de contrôle et le concept de qualité de la vie (Reich et Zautra, 1984) ; un modèle accordant une grande importance aux variables psychologiques de la qualité de la vie (Abbey et Andrews, 1985).…”

Cat article retrace l'évolution du concept de qualité de la vie, décrit certains modèles théoriques et les résultats des recherches quant aux facteurs associés à une perception positive des conditions de vie. On y considère aussi l'utilité de ce concept dans la planification et l'évaluation des services en santé mentale.The idea of maintaining or improving ' 'quality of life' ' is frequently raised as a desired objective in mental health intervention.
