Description générale. L'objectif ultime de l'ergothérapeute est d'améliorer ou de maintenir la qualité de vie de sa clientèle. But. Il est cependant difficile de trouver une définition opérationnelle de ce concept. Cet article présente les résultats d'une analyse du concept qualité de vie dans le contexte des personnes âgées avec incapacités physiques. Résultats. La qualité de vie se définit par une évaluation subjective des circonstances de vie d'un individu, compte tenu de ses valeurs. Les résultats indiquent l'importance du bien-être physique, psychique, social et spirituel, de la satisfaction envers sa vie et de la réalisation d'occupations valorisantes. Un état fonctionnel satisfaisant, manifesté par la présence de comportements adaptés, et un sentiment de contrôle sur sa vie sont aussijugés utiles. Conséquences pour la pratique. Cette définition suggère aux ergothérapeutes d'avoir une vision plus élargie de leurs objectifs d'intervention (au-delà de la réalisation des activités de la vie quotidienne et domestiques) et offre certaines pistes d'intervention pour l'amélioration de la qualité de vie.
