Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate a ratio of clients who undergone the Driving Aptitude Test（DAT）and had been assessed by our driving evaluation system. Our driving evaluation system included the following contents: interview, lecture, neuropsychological evaluation, driving skill assessment（stopping a car）, driving simulator assessment, useful field of view（UFOV）, real driving assessment（depends on symptom）and medical doctor's judgment. Especially during the lecture, we taught patients about traffic law, application procedure of the DAT. We researched as follow: 1. recognition of the DAT, 2. the results of medical doctor's judgment, 3. whether patients take the DAT or not, and we categorize that reason, 4. whether patients continue to drive or not, 5. effectiveness of lecture in our driving evaluation system. The results indicated that all subjects（n = 35）did not know the DAT. Twenty-six of subjects took the DAT. From results of our assessment, all of them had been advised that they could drive a car and pass the DAT. On the other hand, nine subjects who were judged to not continue driving did not take the DAT. The reason of taking or not the DAT classified each two categories; recommendation from medical staffs and knowledge acquisition, awareness from others and awareness by oneself. The answers to the questions asked during the lecture were: from 32 patients - "useful", from 2 patients - "normal" and nobody answered "useless". These results clarified that the DAT system was seldom recognized by brain injury patients. Before undergoing the DAT, it would be helpful if medical staffs minutely teach brain injury patients about driving with their condition. Furthermore, our result suggested that teaching information about patients who suffered a disadvantage was effective in increasing the ratio of clients who undergone the DAT. Language: ja |
