Abstract

Objective : This study aims to identify the self-reported driving abilities of elderly drivers and their correlations to the demographic factors that influence them, and to verify the adequacy of the hypothetical model, constructed based on vision, auditory, cognition, motor, and psychological factors, in order to present a path model on the self-reported driving abilities of elderly drivers. Methods : The participants in this study were 122 elderly drivers aged 65 years or older residing in the community. This study evaluated the following factors of the participants: Vision and hearing, motor ability, cognitive ability, depression, self-reported driving abilities. Results : The results of this study are as follows. In the case of men, the self-reported driving ability score was higher than for women, and those driving 6-7 days per week had higher scores than those driving 3 days or less. The period of holding a driver's license and driving experience positively correlated with self-reported driving abilities. The final model of factors influencing the self-reported driving abilities of elderly drivers had a p value (.911) exceeding .05; TLI (1.202), NFI (.949), and CFI (1.000) of over .90; and RMSEA (.000) of lower than 0.1, indicating that the hypothesis model fit the data well. First, the directly influential factors on the self-reported driving abilities of elderly drivers were depression, decreased hearing, and grip strength. Second, age was found to have a direct influence on depression and grip strength; moreover, depression and grip strength as a mediator indirectly influenced their self-reported driving abilities. Third, depression was found to have a direct influence on their delayed cognitive processing and grip strength. Conclusion : The significance of this study is in the identification of direct and indirect factors influencing the self-reported driving abilities of elderly drivers in regional communities, and in the verification of multi-dimensional effects of diverse factors influencing such abilities.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 지역사회 고령운전자의 인구사회학적 요인에 따른 자가보고식 운전능력 및 상관성을 파악하고 시각, 청각, 인지, 운동, 심리요인을 바탕으로 설정한 가설모형의 적합성을 검증하여 지역사회 고령운전자의 자가보고식 운전능력에 대한 경로모형을 제시하고자 함이었다. 연구방법 : 연구 대상은 만 65세 이상 지역사회 거주 고령운전자의 122명이었다. 대상자들의 시각과 청력, 운동기능, 인지기능, 우울 및 자가보고식 운전능력을 평가하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21.0을 사용하여 분석하고 가설모형의 검증을 위해 AMOS 22.0을 사용하여 경로분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 연구결과 남성의 경우 여성보다 자가보고식 운전능력 점수가 높았으며 주간 운전일수 6~7일인 경우는 주 3일 이하에 비해 점수가 높았다. 면허취득 기간과 운전경력은 자가보고식 운전능력과 정적 상관성을 보였다. 경로모형의 적합성 결과 최종모형은 p값(.911)이 .05를 초과하며, TLI(1.202), NFI(.949), CFI(1.000)가 모두 .90이상이고 RMSEA(.000)는 0.1이하로 가설모형이 측정 자료에 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 첫째, 우울, 청력감퇴, 악력은 고령운전자의 자가보고식 운전능력에 직접적으로 영향을 주는 요인으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 나이는 우울, 악력에 직접적인 영향을 주고, 우울과 악력을 매개하여 자가보고식 운전능력에도 간접적으로 영향을 주고 있었다. 셋째, 우울은 인지처리지연과 악력에 직접적인 영향을 주었다. 결론 : 본 연구는 지역사회 고령운전자의 자가보고식 운전능력에 영향을 주는 요인들의 직 간접적인 관계를 파악하고 자가보고식 운전능력에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들의 다차원적인 효과를 검증하였다는데 의의가 있었다.
