Conséquences des inondations de juillet 1996 sur la conception du chez-soi et la santé biopsychosociale des préretraités et retraités
2001
In July 1996, major floods destroyed several houses occupied by pre-retirees (ages 50–59) and retirees (ages 60 and over). Faced with the task of relocating and rebuilding a new home, several of those older adults lived through difficult post-traumatic adaptation periods. The data collected during in-depth interviews with 31 aging people clearly show that the biopsychosocial health of pre-retirees and retirees, as well as their conception of home were greatly disturbed. The floods also had significant consequences on their behaviour, character and beliefs. A list of recommendations from the victims interviewed to individuals, workers and different government departments shows the need to take into account the emotional distress of victims in implementing emergency measures.
