摘要
RESUMELes centres pour personnes agees ont ete identifies comme des points focaux pour la prestation de services pour la population vieillissante, qui est en forte croissance au Canada et aux Etats-Unis. Malgre ce role important des centres pour personnes agees, peu de recherches leur ont ete consacrees. Cet examen de portee a cible les etudes empiriques en langue anglaise portant sur les centres pour personnes agees qui ont ete publiees dans des revues scientifiques depuis 2000. Un total de 58 etudes ont ete reperees (n = 51 pour les etudes americaines, n = 7 pour les etudes canadiennes). La majorite de ces articles etait centree sur des themes lies a la participation d'individus dans les centres pour personnes agees, et quelques etudes seulement traitaient du milieu associe aux centres pour personnes agees. Ces resultats suggerent que les recherches futures devraient cibler les avantages de la programmation des centres pour personnes agees, avec une attention particuliere sur les besoins des baby-boomers, sur les facteurs cles lies au financement, aux espaces et au personnel, ainsi que sur les caracteristiques et les roles des centres pour personnes agees dans le contexte canadien. ABSTRACTSenior centres have been identified as a focal point for delivering services to the rapidly growing older adult populations in Canada and the United States. Despite this important role, academic research studying senior centres has been limited. This scoping review identified English-language empirical research studies focusing on senior centres that were published in an academic journal in 2000 or later. A total of 58 studies were identified (n = 51 American and n = 7 Canadian). The majority of the articles focused on themes related to the participation of individuals at senior centres; a smaller number focused on themes related to the senior centre environment. Based on the findings, it is suggested that future research focus on benefits of senior centre programming, with specific focus on needs of baby boomers; key factors related to funding, space, and staffing; and the characteristics and role of senior centres in the Canadian context.
