Résumé
La population québécoise est vieillissante, et ce phénomène ne fera que s’accroître au cours des prochaines décennies. Alors qu’en 2017 près d’une personne sur 5 appartenait au groupe des 65 ans et plus, il en sera ainsi pour le quart des Québécois en 2031, et près du tiers d’entre eux en 2061.
Par ailleurs, les trajectoires de vieillissement sont uniques à chacun et dépendront de différents facteurs, tels les vulnérabilités et forces de l’individu et son interaction avec les proches et la société. Malheureusement, la vieillesse s’illustre souvent comme un cumul de pertes dans différents registres. Cela crée des contraintes qui diminuent l’autonomie et augmentent la dépendance. La maladie peut confronter l’individu vieillissant à une diminution des capacités de réparation, et devenir un rappel de la mort inéluctable qui se rapproche et peut devenir parfois une certaine forme de traumatisme. Ce processus invite alors les soignants à réfléchir à un projet thérapeutique favorisant la résilience, concept qui va au-delà de l’ajustement à l’épreuve, et qui suggère un potentiel de développement et de rebond psychologique.
À l’Hôpital en santé mentale Albert-Prévost, la clientèle en gérontopsychiatrie cumule souvent une triple vulnérabilité : troubles cognitifs, incapacités physiques et maladie psychiatrique chronique ou de novo. Les besoins sont donc multiples et complexes.
C’est ainsi que dès 2017, nous avons élaboré une approche de psychiatrie positive dans notre service de gérontopsychiatrie. Notre objectif est de promouvoir le bien-être et la résilience de nos patients selon différents niveaux d’interventions positives. Les stratégies peuvent alors aller de la simple orientation positive pendant l’entretien psychiatrique à la psychothérapie positive, en passant par la psychoéducation, la bibliothérapie et la prescription de certaines interventions de psychologie positive (IPP).

Abstract
Quebec’s population is aging, a situation that will only increase over the next decades. While in 2017 approximately 1 in 5 people belonged to the 65 and over the age group, this will be the case for a quarter of Quebecers in 2031, and almost a third of them by 2061.
The trajectories of aging are unique and depend on various factors, such as the vulnerabilities and strengths of the individual and his interaction with his loved ones and society.
Old age is often accompanied by a series of losses. This creates constraints that hamper autonomy. Disease can be very confronting for the aging individual with reduced capacities and become a reminder of an inevitable death approaching. It can sometimes become a certain form of trauma. This process challenges caregivers to think about a therapeutic projects promoting resilience, a concept that goes beyond adjustment, and that suggests potential for development and psychological rebound.
At Albert-Prévost Mental Health Hospital, geriatric psychiatry patients often have a triple vulnerability: cognitive impairment, physical disability and chronic or de novo psychiatric illness. Their needs are therefore multiple and complex.
This is how, in 2017, we developed a positive psychiatry approach in our geriatric psychiatry service. Our goal is to promote the well-being and resilience of our patients through different levels of positive intervention. The strategies can then range from simple positive orientation during the psychiatric interview to positive psychotherapy, including psychoeducation, bibliotherapy and the prescription of certain positive psychology intervention.
