The rehabilitation strategies used by occupational therapy driver assessors with older drivers with age-related decline or health conditions are not well understood. The objective of the study was to describe driver rehabilitation interventions used by Australian driver assessors, identify factors that guide rehabilitation choices, and identify barriers and facilitators encountered. An online survey was emailed to 300 driver assessors. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize and to rank order participant responses. A total of 148 respondents selected from a combined total of 655 interventions. The four most common rehabilitation methods were (a) graded driving (18%, = 118), (b) practicing specific maneuvers (17.7%, = 116), (c) using a modified vehicle (16.9%, = 111), and (d) graded driving in local areas only (15.1%, = 99). The most common barrier limiting driver rehabilitation was cost ( = 2.92, = 1.24). The most frequently used driver rehabilitation method was on-road training. Practice can be enhanced by collating and evaluating resources, and ensuring effective interventions are more accessible.
职业治疗驾驶员评估师针对存在与年龄相关衰退或健康状况的老年驾驶员所采用的康复策略尚未得到充分理解。本研究的目的是描述澳大利亚驾驶员评估师所采用的驾驶员康复干预措施，确定指导康复选择的因素，并识别所遇到的障碍和促进因素。向300名驾驶员评估师发送了在线调查问卷。使用描述性统计来总结和排列参与者的回答。从总共655项干预措施中选出了148名受访者。四种最常见的康复方法是：(a) 分级驾驶（18%，n = 118），(b) 练习特定操作（17.7%，n = 116），(c) 使用改装车辆（16.9%，n = 111），以及(d) 仅在当地进行分级驾驶（15.1%，n = 99）。限制驾驶员康复的最常见障碍是费用（M = 2.92，SD = 1.24）。最常用的驾驶员康复方法是道路训练。通过整理和评估资源以及确保更易于获得有效的干预措施，可以加强实践。
