Most older adults perceive themselves as good drivers; however, their perception may not be accurate, and could negatively affect their driving safety. This study examined the accuracy of older drivers' self-awareness of driving ability in their everyday driving environment by determining the concordance between the perceived (assessed by the Perceived Driving Ability [PDA] questionnaire) and actual (assessed by electronic Driving Observation Schedule [eDOS]) driving performance. One hundred and eight older drivers (male: 67.6%; age: mean = 80.6 years, standard deviation [SD] = 4.9 years) who participated in the study were classified into three groups: underestimation (19%), accurate estimation (29%), and overestimation (53%). Using the demographic and clinical functioning information collected in the Candrive annual assessments, an ordinal regression showed that two factors were related to the accuracy of self-awareness: older drivers with better visuo-motor processing speed measured by the Trail Making Test (TMT)-A and fewer self-reported comorbid conditions tended to overestimate their driving ability, and vice versa.
大多数老年人认为自己是优秀的驾驶员；然而，他们的认知可能并不准确，这可能会对他们的驾驶安全产生负面影响。本研究通过确定感知（通过感知驾驶能力问卷评估）和实际（通过电子驾驶观察时间表评估）驾驶表现之间的一致性，来检验老年驾驶员在日常驾驶环境中对驾驶能力的自我意识的准确性。108 名参与研究的老年驾驶员（男性：67.6%；年龄：平均值=80.6 岁，标准差[SD]=4.9 岁）被分为三组：低估组（19%）、准确估计组（29%）和高估组（53%）。使用在 Candrive 年度评估中收集的人口统计学和临床功能信息，有序回归表明，有两个因素与自我意识的准确性相关：视动加工速度测试（TMT-A）较好的老年驾驶员和自我报告的合并症较少的驾驶员往往会高估自己的驾驶能力，反之亦然。
