Thirty-five older urban adults who had forfeited a driver's license and 25 nurse practitioners (NPs) who provided health care to them participated in a qualitative study to (a) explore the perception of NPs regarding their role in assessing the driving abilities of older adults, (b) describe the ways in which NPs assist their clients to cope with the loss of a driver's license, and (c) delineate the NPs influence on the elders' decision to forfeit their license. Findings suggest that most NPs had concerns about their older clients' driving abilities. However, assessment of parameters related to driving safety was not their primary objective. An NPs recommendation to forfeit a license was important to the older driver's decision to do so. Assisting clients with the consequences of no longer driving was difficult for a variety of reasons.
35名已被吊销驾照的城市老年人以及25名向他们提供医疗服务的执业护士参与了一项定性研究，以（a）探讨执业护士对其在评估老年人驾驶能力方面作用的看法，（b）描述执业护士帮助其客户应对驾照吊销的方式，以及（c）阐明执业护士对老年人决定吊销驾照的影响。研究结果表明，大多数执业护士担心其老年客户的驾驶能力。然而，评估与驾驶安全相关的参数并非他们的主要目标。执业护士建议吊销驾照对老年驾驶员做出这样的决定很重要。由于各种原因，帮助客户应对不再开车的后果很困难。
