Looking Forward and Looking Back: Older Adults' Views of the Impacts of Stopping Driving.
Occupational Therapy in Health Care 2017 July
This project aimed to identify the impact of driving cessation from the perspectives of older drivers and former drivers. Participants included 17 adults aged 65-88 years residing in a city in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Using a semi-structured interview guide (with questions regarding mobility, personal impact, impact on others, engagement with life, and finances), two focus groups were held with nine current drivers, and one-on-one interviews were held with six former drivers and two current drivers. Two themes emerged concerning stopping driving. The first theme included discussions on experiencing lifestyle changes, relationship impacts, and emotional impacts. The second, the adjustment to stopping driving, included practical adaptations, and emotional responses such as appreciation, resistance, acceptance, and being positive. Although the impacts of stopping driving were substantial, there were few discrepancies between what was anticipated and what was experienced. This information could assist with developing interventions to ease the transition to former-driver status.
