PURPOSE
Road Traffic Injury (RTI) is major public health concern globally and is excessively affecting vulnerable road users in the pacific Island nations. This study aimed to explore and understand the perception of Public Transport Drivers (PTDs) on risk factors and the existing prevention strategy of RTI in Vanuatu.
METHODS
This study employed qualitative methods that used 31 In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) to gather data from PTDs from 14 October to 30 November 2020. Purposive sampling was used to recruit PTDs from three main municipalities, Luganville, Port Vila and Lenakel. Semi-structured open-ended questionnaire were used to gather data. Interview data was transcribed and manual thematic analysis was performed to analysis the data.
RESULTS
Data saturation was reach from interviewing 31 PTDs who were all male. Five main themes were generated from the study including the trend of RTI, the determinants of RTI, high-risk road users, traffic law enforcement and public education. The respondents perceived that the best measures for preventing RTI include community education, enforcement of road traffic control laws and addressing specific road infrastructure issues.
CONCLUSIONS
Changing driver behaviours, community education on road safety and enforcement of traffic laws are essential for preventing RTI in Vanuatu.
目的
道路交通伤害（RTI）是全球主要的公共卫生关注点，对太平洋岛国的弱势道路使用者造成了过度影响。本研究旨在探讨和了解公共交通司机（PTD）对危险因素的看法，以及瓦努阿图 RTI 现有预防策略。
方法
本研究采用定性方法，于 2020 年 10 月 14 日至 11 月 30 日期间，使用 31 次深入访谈（IDIs）从来自 14 个地区的 PTD 中收集数据。采用目的抽样法从三个主要城市（卢甘维尔、维拉港和伦巴凯）招募 PTD。采用半结构化开放式问卷收集数据。对访谈数据进行转录，并进行手动主题分析以分析数据。
结果
对 31 名男性 PTD 的访谈达到了数据饱和。研究产生了五个主要主题，包括 RTI 趋势、RTI 的决定因素、高风险道路使用者、交通执法和公众教育。受访者认为预防 RTI 的最佳措施包括社区教育、执行道路交通管制法和解决特定的道路基础设施问题。
结论
改变驾驶员行为、道路安全社区教育和交通执法的执行对于在瓦努阿图预防 RTI 至关重要。
