Cette recherche qualitative traite de la situation des proches aidants des aînés composant avec une problématique d'accumulation (trouble d'accumulation compulsive, autonégligence, syndrome de Diogène). Il s'agit d'un contexte de la proche aidance qui a été jusqu'à maintenant peu étudié, où les réalités du vieillissement et de la santé mentale sont en interaction. Onze proches aidants et huit intervenants sociaux des régions de la Capitale-Nationale et de Chaudière-Appalaches ont participé à des entretiens semi-dirigés, lesquels ont été soumis à une analyse thématique de contenu. Nos résultats indiquent que malgré l'interaction du vieillissement et de problématiques de santé mentale, ce sont les enjeux liés au vieillissement qui déclenchent le début de la proche aidance, puis le maintien de cet engagement dans la durée. Ils nous montrent aussi que des efforts de concertation et de coordination devraient être déployés afin que les différents acteurs interpellés prévoient des trajectoires de services pour la personne âgée et les proches avant que le problème d'accumulation engendre des enjeux de sécurité importants. Dans ces trajectoires, les organisations sociosanitaires gagneraient à davantage reconnaître les savoirs des proches et à mettre à leur disposition les services requis pour répondre à leurs besoins spécifiques.

Background: Persons living with dementia experience autonomy loss and require caregiver support on a daily basis. Dementia involves a gradual decline in communication skills, leading to fewer interactions and isolation for both people living with dementia and their caregivers, negatively impacting the quality of life for both members of the dyad. The resulting stress and burden on caregivers make them particularly susceptible to burnout.
