- W1502425740 abstract "Functional abilities used for driving decline as we age with a potential risk increase. Experience and careful behaviour can to some extent compensate for degraded abilities. However, functional degradation can develop slowly and in disguise. Furthermore, changes in traffic and vehicle design could increase the demands on the aging driver. Thus, there is a risk for both over and under confidence in driving performance. Refresher courses for senior drivers can be a means which has been used in some countries with good results to promote a sustained or even improved safe mobility (e.g. USA and Canada). A recent evaluation of such a refresher course conducted in Norway revealed a tentative reduction in risk for participants one year after completion. Similar courses are also organised in Sweden. However, Swedish courses have never been evaluated. Thus, as a first step a survey was carried out by means of structured telephone interviews among stakeholders and organiser of refresher courses. The survey provided valuable knowledge concerning, for example, course content, organisation, and execution. The courses were in general highly appreciated. However, there were concerns regarding recruitment of participants, lack of evaluation, and a demand for more practical training and even a strong interest in driving simulators. As a second step a survey was planned and conducted among past and present course attendants. Thus, 162 course participants of which 112 were past attendees and 50 had just started the course answered two separate questionnaires (pre and post course). According to the pre-questionnaire senior drivers are quite careful drivers and specifically female drivers. However, it was also found that being able to drive was considered very important and contributes to health and well-being. Thus, refresher courses can fill a need for senior drivers and improve safe mobility. The post-questionnaire results revealed participants as eager to learn and curious. Courses, leaders and material were highly rated and their expectations were well met. However, a lack of practical training was noted. Furthermore, a majority felt they were better and safer drivers after the course even if behaviour and driving frequency was not changed. Knowledge of about 6 out of 25 course topics was improved but in general not typically manifested in perceived driving behaviour changes. It was found that course participation contributed to positive feelings in general. However, answers gave a hint that deciding when to give up driving can be a difficult task. Finally, ideas are given for further work and for improved evaluation efforts by connecting the investigation to the Goals for Driver Education framework." @default.
