Quality of life outcomes are associated with the transition to non-driving and depend on effective coping. We examined the relationship between internal factors associated with effective coping and longitudinal changes in travel behavior among drivers aged ≥70 using data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating a driving decision aid. We measured attitudes using the Assessment of Readiness for Mobility Transition (ARMT) and personality using the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). We analyzed associations between attitudes and personality with drivers' change in a) alternative transportation use and b) driving behavior over time. Older drivers with high versus low attitudinal readiness for mobility transition were more likely to use alternative transportation over time (adjusted odds ratio = 6.37; 95% confidence interval: 1.45-28.1). We found no association between personality characteristics and alternative transportation use or driving behavior over time. Attitudinal readiness may be a key predictor of effective coping during the transition to non-driving.
生活质量结果与向非驾驶状态的转变相关,并且取决于有效的应对方式。我们使用一项评估驾驶决策辅助工具的随机对照试验的数据,研究了与有效应对相关的内部因素与70岁及以上驾驶员出行行为的纵向变化之间的关系。我们使用移动性转变准备评估量表(ARMT)测量态度,使用十项人格量表(TIPI)测量人格。我们分析了态度和人格与驾驶员在以下方面的变化之间的关联:a)替代交通方式的使用,以及b)随时间推移的驾驶行为。随着时间的推移,对移动性转变态度准备程度高的老年驾驶员比态度准备程度低的老年驾驶员更有可能使用替代交通方式(调整后的优势比 = 6.37;95%置信区间:1.45 - 28.1)。我们发现人格特征与替代交通方式的使用或随时间推移的驾驶行为之间没有关联。态度准备程度可能是向非驾驶状态转变过程中有效应对的关键预测因素。
