Résumé
La recherche dans le domaine de la motivation a démontré que la présence de buts personnels est associée au bien-être psychologique (BEP). Un programme de 14 semaines conçu pour aider les participants à réaliser leurs projets a été offert à des personnes âgées (≥ 65 ans) dépressives (BDI-II ≥ 9; M = 22,05) afin d’améliorer leur BEP. Les niveaux de BEP, de dépression et d’anxiété des personnes qui ont participé au programme (n = 24) ont été comparés à ceux d’un groupe contrôle (n = 18). Les analyses ont montré que les participants au programme se sont améliorés significativement sur la plupart des indicateurs de BEP, incluant la dépression, ce qui semble indiquer qu’un programme de gestion des buts pourrait être une manière innovatrice de promouvoir la santé mentale des aînés dépressifs. Toutefois, l’amélioration est observée uniquement pour la sérénité et le sens à la vie dans les analyses comparatives avec le groupe contrôle. Les études ultérieures devraient tenter de développer des programmes de promotion de la santé mentale qui offrent aux individus des moyens d’atteindre un état de fonctionnement optimal.

Abstract
Research on motivation has shown that the presence of personal goals is related to psychological well-being (PWB). A 14-week program designed to help participants realize meaningful personal projects was created to improve the PWB of depressed (BDI-II ≥ 9; M = 22,05) older adults (≥ 65 years). The levels of PWB, depression, and anxiety of the persons who took part in the program (n = 24) were compared to those of a control group (n = 18). Analyses showed that the program participants improved significantly on most indicators of well-being, including depression, indicating that a goal intervention program could be an innovative way to promote the mental health of depressive older adults. However, the improvement was observed only for serenity and meaning in life in the comparative analyses with the control group. Future studies should try to develop mental health promotion program that provide individuals with means to achieve an optimal state of functioning.
