Centenarians’ care arrangements
Although centenarians represent a growing population, little is known about the support they rely on to address their specific needs. This study explores the types and combinations of care they receive, as well as the factors shaping these care arrangements. Based on data from the Swiss Centenarian Study ( N = 169; mean age = 101.8) and adopting an inductive approach, findings reveal diverse care arrangements, with both professional and non-profe…
Sociopolitical consequences of Covid‐19 in the Americas, Europe, and Asia
Although different social crises may eventually favor undemocratic and authoritarian forms of governance, at some point, such antidemocratic practices require the support of a significant part of the population to be implemented. The present research investigates how and whether the COVID‐19 pandemic might have favoured greater support for antidemocratic governmental practices, on the premise of regaining control and security. Using data from 17 …
L’assistance à mourir par-delà les frontières
L’assistance à mourir est désormais un sujet débattu, ainsi qu’une pratique légale, dans plusieurs juridictions à travers le monde. Le présent article porte sur les personnes, les termes et les thèmes qui circulent entre des contextes où l’assistance à mourir est autorisée. À partir des concepts de « jugement », de « propriété » et de « responsabilité » développés par Gusfield, nous explorons comment les débats nationaux sur l’assistance à mourir…
L’assistance à mourir
Euthanasie, suicide assisté, aide médicale à mourir, mort dans la dignité : ces termes, et bien d’autres, sont utilisés à travers le monde pour désigner différents types d’assistance à mourir. Cette diversité terminologique peut créer une certaine confusion au sein des débats universitaires et parmi les actrices et acteurs politiques, notamment quand il n’apparaît pas clairement quel type d’action ou d’inaction l’on cherche à saisir, par qui et d…
The association between recall of historical events and well-being ( La asociación del recuerdo de eventos históricos con el bienestar )
This study explores the relationship between remembered sociohistorical events and well-being. Its objective is to ascertain the content of historical memory and the way it is associated with this construct. The PHI remembered well-being scale and the CEVI instrument, which asks respondents to describe four relevant historical events during their lifetime, were applied to a convenience sample from the Basque Country ( N = 434, range 20–88 years, …
Group music making in nursing homes
A significant number of studies suggest that engagement with music, in its different forms, can play an important role in terms of health and well-being for a diverse range of people, including older adults. Research focusing on the impact of these activities on the practitioners, namely the musicians carrying out the interventions, is at a more preliminary stage. This study investigated how tertiary-level music students experienced group music m…
Social Isolation and Loneliness among Near-Centenarians and Centenarians
Social isolation and loneliness have been recognized as problems older people face due to their adverse effects on health and mortality, but very few researchers have analyzed their co-occurrence, which might be particularly prevalent and critical among the very old. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of combinations of social isolation and loneliness among near-centenarians and centenarians. We used data collected from 94 individuals …
Music in the life of nursing home residents
Music plays a central role in facilitating positive wellbeing and quality of life in nursing homes
Assistance in dying across borders
Assistance in dying has become a transnational issue debated and lawfully practiced in several jurisdictions around the world. This article focuses on persons, terms and themes that circulate from one context authorizing assistance in dying to another. Building on Joseph Gusfield's concepts of judgment, ownership and responsibility, we explore how national debates on assistance in dying draw on transnational circulations which are instrumental in…
Assistance in dying
Euthanasia, assisted suicide, medical assistance in dying, death with dignity: these and many other different terms are used around the world to capture various types of assistance in dying. This diversity in terminology can create confusion both in academic debates and in policy-making if it is unclear what type of action or inaction is intended to be captured, by whom, and under what circumstances. By defining and contrasting several terms and …
Le suicide assisté en Suisse sous l’angle de la déprise
Profitant d’un contexte législatif particulier, deux des huit Associations pour le Droit de Mourir dans la Dignité (ADMD) de Suisse ont élaboré des protocoles d’assistance au suicide pour les personnes souffrant de « polypathologies invalidantes liées à l’âge ». Elles proposent à leurs membres âgés d’envisager le suicide comme une option raisonnable, permettant d’éviter des processus de réaménagement induits par des circonstances difficiles, comm…
Vivir el envejecer
Cet article s’intéresse aux interrogations suscitées par l’avènement des journaux gratuits Metro et 20 Minutes en France et aux initiatives de la presse d’information payante pour y répondre. Deux temps ont rythmé ce processus, marqué par des mouvements de résistance de la part de la presse quotidienne traditionnelle. Le premier est représenté par une chronologie resserrée (2002-2003), pendant laquelle les éditeurs de presse payante se mobilisent…
Histoire et parcours de vie
Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la mémoire de l'histoire rapportée par des adultes appartenant à cinq groupes d'âge allant de 20-24 à 80-84 ans. En particulier, nous nous focalisons sur les événements et changements sociohistoriques, survenus au cours de leur vie, que ces personnes ont retenus comme particulièrement saillants. Sur la base de deux enquêtes menées à Genève en 2004 et 2009, nous avons procédé à une double comparaison : ent…
Reconstrucción subjetiva del curso de la vida en Chile
En el desarrollo de la vida hay eventos que marcan las trayectorias individuales y que son usados por las personas como referencias para la reconstrucción de su propia biografía: los puntos de inflexión. En el presente estudio se les ha pedido a chilenos de cinco grupos de edad que mencionen los principales puntos de inflexión en sus vidas, para acceder a la reconstrucción subjetiva de su existencia. Los resultados muestran que los chilenos recon…
Bereavement in Very Old Age
This article deals with the following two questions: In very old age, which are the main sources of bereavement? And what are the consequences of such losses on health and on relationships? The findings are based on the complete set of data compiled in the course of the Swiss Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study on the Oldest Old (SWILSOO), which provided a 10-year follow-up of a first cohort (1994-2004) and a 5-year follow-up of a second (1999-2…

The Death of a Loved One
The death of a significant other is seen as a major life disruption. What are the consequences when such a loss occurs during advanced old age? Based on observation of an octogenarian cohort over a period of five years (1994–1999), this study investigates the impact of losing a significant other (close relative or friend) on the health of elders and on their family and social life. The bereaved are compared with two control groups: one declaring …
