Previous studies have provided that self-driving can enhance the mobility of people with disabilities and their quality of life. The National Rehabilitation Center has been providing driving rehabilitation education for people with disabilities since 1994, as part of a welfare service project aimed at guaranteeing their right to free movement. However, there is no analysis of the status and results of driving rehabilitation education and evaluations in South Korea, and research on these programs is lacking. This study aims to analyze the on-road driving rehabilitation education and evaluation results conducted by the National Rehabilitation Center from 2019 to 2021. It seeks to identify the characteristics of the prior license holders with disabilities and the factors influencing the need for additional driving rehabilitation education. Out of a total of 676 prior license holders, 532 were included in the analysis regarding the need for additional driving rehabilitation education. The results of this study indicate that women were 2.07 times more likely than men to require additional driving rehabilitation education. Conversely, the likelihood of requiring additional driving rehabilitation education was lower for those with better driving senses (0.17 times), less tension (0.46 times), and less impact from their disability (0.45 times). For prior license holders, it was found that demographic characteristics (excluding gender) or the nature of their disabilities had less significant impacts compared to the driver's response level, the type of driving license held, and the number of assistive devices used. These findings can be used for developing effective driving education programs for people with disabilities and designing strategies to enhance license acquisition rates, thereby improving their mobility rights.
先前的研究表明，自动驾驶可以提高残疾人的出行能力和生活质量。自1994年以来，国家康复中心一直在为残疾人提供驾驶康复教育，作为一项旨在保障他们自由行动权利的福利服务项目的一部分。然而，韩国尚未对驾驶康复教育和评估的现状及结果进行分析，且缺乏对这些项目的研究。本研究旨在分析国家康复中心在2019年至2021年期间进行的上路驾驶康复教育及评估结果。它试图确定残疾前驾照持有者的特征以及影响额外驾驶康复教育需求的因素。在总共676名前驾照持有者中，532人被纳入关于额外驾驶康复教育需求的分析。本研究结果表明，女性比男性需要额外驾驶康复教育的可能性高2.07倍。相反，驾驶感觉较好（0.17倍）、紧张程度较低（0.46倍）以及残疾影响较小（0.45倍）的人需要额外驾驶康复教育的可能性较低。对于前驾照持有者，研究发现，与驾驶员的反应水平、所持驾照类型和使用的辅助设备数量相比，人口统计学特征（不包括性别）或残疾性质的影响较小。这些研究结果可用于为残疾人制定有效的驾驶教育项目，并设计提高驾照获取率的策略，从而改善他们的出行权利。
