Background: Researchers examined existing new driver training records to determine factors associated with successful completion of a driver training program.
Method: Forty-one de-identified driving evaluation and discharge records were examined retrospectively. Data included demographic information, in-clinic assessments (Trails Making Test (TMT) Parts A and B, Useful Field of View(UFOV), life-skills questionnaire) on-road skills, and intervention units. Mixed method analysis included Mann-Whitney U to compare successful and unsuccessful groups and a qualitative examination of therapists and parents
narrative.
Results: Individuals in the successful group were more likely to have adequate on-road driving skills of braking/acceleration, four way stop, lining the vehicle, following distance, and traffic gaps than the unsuccessful group (p< .05). Statistical significance was not detected for TMT Part A (p=.551) and B (p=.996) between groups. Qualitative results indicated that successful drivers demonstrated independence in activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and communication skills prior to participating in the new driver program. Also,adequate on-road skills, emotional maturity, and practical levels of anxiety seem to support success for new drivers.
Conclusion: Important considerations when evaluating new drivers success are on-road skills, independence in IADL and ADL, communication skills, emotional maturity, and practical levels of anxiety. However, OT/Certified Driving Rehabilitation Specialist (CDRS) should further investigate the use of other executive function assessments for new drivers rather than TMT Part A and B.
