“…The higher the total K-Driver 65 plus score, the more suitable is the driving performance. 21 Based on this interpretation, the group with mild-to-moderate anxiety showed a lower driving fitness than the normal anxiety range group. According to a study published in 2008 on the driving performance of 208 people with mental health illness, only 33 obtained a driver’s license, and the remaining 84% failed the driving test.…”

“…K-Drivers 65 Plus is a self-reporting-type evaluation tool that determines the driving fitness of older drivers and was standardized in the Korean version in 2018. 21 It includes a total of 15 questions, including “I have many thoughts when I’m driving”, “If I’m really angry, it affects my driving”, and “I have regular visual examinations to maintain my best eyesight”, with responses on three scales: “I often do”, “I sometimes do”, and “I don’t.” Questions 14 and 15 are structured to respond on three scales: Never, One to two times, Three times and more. It includes self-driving evaluation items consisting of 15 items, and responses to items are on a 3-point scale ranging from “often” to “not at all” from items 1 to 13, and questions 14 and 15 are ‘It is on a 3-point scale ranging from “never” to ‘more than 3 times’.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between driving fitness and driving efficacy in elderly patients with generalized anxiety disorder and identify factors influencing anxiety. Methods The anxiety level, driving efficacy, and driving performance were assessed for 45 elderly drivers who had been diagnosed with or were suspected of having an anxiety disorder in the past. The Korean-Self-rating Anxiety Scale (K-SAS), Korean-Adelaide Driving Self-Efficacy Scale (K-ADSES), and Korean-Drivers 65 Plus (K-D65+) were used as test tools. Factors affecting anxiety and the differences between the groups with high anxiety symptoms and anxiety in the normal range were analyzed. Results There were differences in driving efficiency and driving performance between elderly drivers with anxiety scores in the normal range and those with mild-to-moderate anxiety (p < 0.05). Significant factors (p < 0.001) influencing driving anxiety in the high anxiety group were GAD duration (β = 0.170), driving difficulty (β = 10.648), drug use (β = 0.656), traffic sign/signal awareness (β = −0.870). Conclusion Our results suggest that a combination of a driving rehabilitation approach and interventions that can provide emotional support and reduce mental health anxiety, as well as exposure treatment for driving performance training, may be necessary for driving rehabilitation of the elderly with generalized anxiety disorder.

“…A feature of this test is that the scoring scale for each item is presented differently depending on the content such that elderly drivers cannot predict the question’s intentions. The Korean Driver 65 Plus has shown test-retest reliability of .95 and construct and concurrent validity [ 27 ].…”

Background Self-report assessments for elderly drivers are used in various countries for accessible, widespread self-monitoring of driving ability in the elderly population. Likewise, in South Korea, a paper-based Self-Report Assessment for Elderly Driving Risk (SAFE-DR) has been developed. Here, we implemented the SAFE-DR through an Android app, which provides the advantages of accessibility, convenience, and provision of diverse information, and verified its reliability and validity. Objective This study tested the validity and reliability of a mobile app-based version of a self-report assessment for elderly persons contextualized to the South Korean culture and compared it with a paper-based test. Methods In this mixed methods study, we recruited and interviewed 567 elderly drivers (aged 65 years and older) between August 2018 and May 2019. For participants who provided consent, the app-based test was repeated after 2 weeks and an additional paper-based test (Driver 65 Plus test) was administered. Using the collected data, we analyzed the reliability and validity of the app-based SAFE-DR. The internal consistency of provisional items in each subdomain of the SAFE-DR and the test-retest stability were analyzed to examine reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to examine the validity of the subdomain configuration. To verify the appropriateness of using an app-based test for older drivers possibly unfamiliar with mobile technology, the correlation between the results of the SAFE-DR app and the paper-based offline test was also analyzed. Results In the reliability analysis, Cronbach α for all items was 0.975 and the correlation of each item with the overall score ranged from r=0.520 to r=0.823; 4 items with low correlations were removed from each of the subdomains. In the retest after 2 weeks, the mean correlation coefficient across all items was r=0.951, showing very high reliability. Exploratory factor analysis on 40 of the 44 items established 5 subdomains: on-road (8 items), coping (16 items), cognitive functions (5 items), general conditions (8 items), and medical health (3 items). A very strong negative correlation of –0.864 was observed between the total score for the app-based SAFE-DR and the paper-based Driver 65 Plus with decorrelation scales. The app-based test was found to be reliable. Conclusions In this study, we developed an app-based self-report assessment tool for elderly drivers and tested its reliability and validity. This app can help elderly individuals easily assess their own driving skills. Therefore, this assessment can be used to educate drivers and for preventive screening for elderly drivers who want to renew their driver’s licenses in South Korea. In addition, the app can contribute to safe driving among elderly drivers.
