to analyse the link between the non-frailty condition and the results of driving license for elderly people to drive motor vehicles.
cross-sectional study with data collection in the sample period from August 2015 to March 2016. Study performed with 347 elderlies (≥60 years).
180 (51.9%) of the participants were classified as non-frail. 48 (26.7%) of them were considered capable to drive, 121 (67.2%) capable to drive with restrictions and 11 (6.1%) temporarily uncapable. No significant relation was found between the non-frailty conditions and the results of the motor vehicles driving license study (p=0.557).
The absence of physical frailty does not necessarily points out that the elderly are able to drive motor vehicles. Tracking the frailty subsidizes preventive interventions, which seek to interfere positively in the act of driving. This is an unprecedented study in nursing and it highlights an essential field for the performance of gerontological nursing.
分析老年人非衰弱状态与机动车驾驶执照考试结果之间的联系。
横断面研究，于2015年8月至2016年3月期间收集样本数据。对347名老年人（≥60岁）进行研究。
180名（51.9%）参与者被归类为非衰弱。其中48名（26.7%）被认为有能力驾驶，121名（67.2%）有能力在受限条件下驾驶，11名（6.1%）暂时无能力驾驶。未发现非衰弱状态与机动车驾驶执照考试结果之间存在显著关系（p = 0.557）。
身体不衰弱并不一定表明老年人能够驾驶机动车。追踪衰弱情况有助于采取预防性干预措施，这些措施旨在对驾驶行为产生积极影响。这是护理领域一项前所未有的研究，它突出了老年护理工作的一个重要领域。
