Book excerpt: Affordable, easy-to-use, and flexible transportation options are vital to older adults' quality of life. Community Mobility: Driving and Transportation Alternatives for Older Persons provides physical and occupational therapists with recent research findings on older driver assessment, remediation/rehabilitation, and the use of alternatives to the car in the event that older adults need to “retire” from driving. This unique book addresses changes in driving patterns over time, the impact of climate conditions on driving, mental and physical health issues, self-regulation by drivers, and driver safety. Community Mobility addresses changes in driving patterns over time, the impact of climate conditions on driving, mental and physical health issues, self-regulation by drivers, and driver safety. This unique book also includes summaries of recent consensus conferences held in the United States and Canada to determine the best approaches to therapist services and counseling. Community Mobility examines: the effect of alternative forms of transportation on drivers in declining mental and physical health safety interventions the relationship between chronic illness and an elderly driver’s “home range” road conditions versus driving patterns factors that can act as predictors in mobility patterns self-regulation and adaptation strategies effective remediation techniques a comprehensive driving evaluation (CDE) and much more! Community Mobility is an essential resource for anyone working with elderly drivers who face the loss of independence and the decreased access to social activities, medical services, and other basic needs that accompany “retirement” from the driver’s seat.
Download or read book Working environment and work retention written by Johann Fridrik Fridriksson and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project shows that the working environment is rarely the sole cause of early retirement, but working environment factors may explain a large fraction of the transition to disability pension in particular. Several working environment predictors of early retirement are well-documented in the Nordic countries, but workplace policies and activities to retain older workers rarely aim to improve the working environment. There may be great potentials in developing workplace interventions which combine prevention of working environment risk factors (e.g. risk factors for accidents, strenuous work/high physical work demands, insufficient recovery between work shifts, quantitative work demands, conflicts at work and bullying/harassment, and age discrimination) with increment of job satisfaction through increased control/influence, possibilities for development and recognition from management.
Download or read book Selection Optimization and Compensation in the Self Regulatory Driving Behaviors of Older Adults written by Erin J. Lea and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To combat declines in functioning, older drivers engage in selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC). Often these behaviors are either ineffective at reducing accidents or associated with negative outcomes such as depressed mood. The Compensatory Driving Behavior Scale was created to clarify self-regulatory driving behaviors related to this process. The scale yielded a five-component solution assessing Comfort, Vision Comfort, Frequency, Avoidance, and Difficulty Adapting associated with driving in challenging situations. These components demonstrated relationships with age, health, changes in driving abilities, extraversion, emotional stability, and external locus of control. Older drivers reported additional self-regulatory behaviors, including increasing attention, defensive driving, and increasing adherence to the laws. Reasons for these adaptations varied from age to concern for others. A re-conceptualization of the SOC model, focused on independence through driving rather than mobility, follows.

Download or read book Regulating Older Drivers written by David S. Loughran and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are older drivers posing increasing risk to the public? If so, what public policies might mitigate that risk? Older drivers (those 65 and older) are slightly likelier than drivers aged 25 to 64 to cause an accident, but drivers aged 15 to 24 are nearly three times likelier than older drivers to do so. The authors of this paper conclude that stricter licensing policies targeting older drivers would likely not improve traffic safety substantially.

Download or read book Self regulatory Driving Behaviour Perceived Abilities and Comfort Level of Older Drivers with Parkinson s Disease Compared to Age matched Healthy Controls written by Alexander Michael Crizzle and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Multiple studies have shown the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) can impair driving performance. Studies have also found elevated crash rates in drivers with PD, however, none have controlled for exposure or amount of driving. Although a few studies have suggested that drivers with PD may self-regulate (e.g., by reducing exposure or avoiding challenging situations), findings were based on self-report data. Studies with healthy older drivers have shown that objective driving data is more accurate than self-estimates. Purposes: The primary objectives of this study were to examine whether drivers with PD restrict their driving (exposure and patterns) relative to an age-matched control group and explore possible reasons for such restrictions: trip purposes, perceptions of driving comfort and abilities, as well as depression, disease severity and symptoms associated with PD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Having accurate self-awareness of driving ability may be one important factor to enable older drivers to adopt appropriate self-regulatory behaviors and maintain safe driving performance in their everyday living for as long as possible. Nevertheless, some methodological issues and knowledge gaps related to this topic exist. The overall objective of this thesis was to contribute evidence towards older drivers' self-awareness of their driving ability in a naturalistic driving environment. The first study compared and contrasted how the standard on-road driving evaluation (SODE) and the naturalistic driving observation (NDO) approaches influence older adults' driving performance using a reflective literature review. This study highlighted that, during the SODE, older drivers' performance may be negatively impacted by test anxiety and the unfamiliar environment, but changes in their driving capacity over time can be measured in this structured context. On the contrary, using the NDO approach, older drivers can adjust their driving behavior and environment based on their self-awareness of driving ability and self-regulatory modifications; by reducing the demands of their driving environment, their driving performance could be stable over time despite changes in their driving capacity (Manuscript #1). Based on the previous study, a validated NDO approach, the electronic Driving Observation Schedule (eDOS), was adopted to evaluate older drivers' performance in their everyday driving environment. Some improvements to its scoring system were required and 13 experts in driving rehabilitation were consulted using a two-round on-line survey. A weighted maneuver/environmental complexity score was created to represent the complexity of the driving maneuvers and environment in order to control the fact that the driving environment during each eDOS differs from each other. In addition, a weighted eDOS total score was generated to improve the scoring of older adults' driving performance by accounting for the different risk levels of each driving error type, the maneuver and environment complexity in which they occur (Chapter 4).The next study examined the accuracy of older drivers' self-awareness of driving ability and its associated demographic and clinical factors. The accuracy of self-awareness is defined by the correspondence between one's perceived and actual ability. Perceived driving ability was assessed using the Perceived Driving Ability [PDA] questionnaire, a valid and reliable tool and the weighted eDOS score was used to represent everyday driving performance. By comparing the two scores, 108 older drivers were classified into 3 groups based on the accuracy of estimation of their driving ability: under-estimation (19%); accurate (29%); over-estimation (53%). An ordinal regression model showed that older drivers who over-estimated their driving ability had better visuo-motor processing speed and fewer comorbid conditions (Manuscript #2). A longitudinal study was administered to further examine older drivers' self-awareness of their changes in driving ability over time (n=60). Results indicated that approximately one-third of the older drivers did not detect their declining driving ability over one year. Participants who had worse driving performance at the second session, regardless of their perceived changes in driving ability (Manuscript #3). The findings from this thesis indicate that many older drivers over-estimated their driving ability and did not perceive their declining driving performance over one year. Future studies are needed to examine the relationship between older drivers' accuracy of self-awareness and crash risk, as well as to create intervention programs for enhancing their accuracy of self-awareness of driving ability.

Book excerpt: Older drivers are a growing population and are increasingly reliant on their vehicles. Physical, visual, cognitive and perceptual declines can develop gradually but have serious effects on driver risk. Self-awareness of the onset of age-related problems is critical to maximising older driver safety, and the promotion of active and appropriate self-regulation holds the most realistic key to managing the older driver "problem".
