Abstract

The research was conducted to understand the correlation between sensory processing ability and safe driving behavior of over 65. Questionnaires regarding sensory processing ability and safe driving behavior were given to 31 people who are in their 65 or over and Pearson Correlation Analysis was carried out on the survey. The result of the research indicates that there is interrelationship between total score of sensory processing ability and safe driving behavior, and sub factors. According to the findings, over 65 showed certain difficulties in sensory processing ability and safe driving behavior due to aging. Therefore, it would be necessary to evaluate their driving behavior and arbitrate appropriate operation therapy.

본 연구는 65세 이상 노인의 감각처리능력과 안전운전행동에 관한 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 65세 이상 정상노인 31명을 대상으로 감각처리능력과 안전운전행동에 관한 설문조사를 하였으며, 수집된 자료는 피어슨 상관관계분석을 실시하였다. 감각처리능력과 안전운전행동의 총점 및 하위요인 간의 상관성이 있는 결과를 가졌다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 노인들은 노화로 인해 감각처리능력과 안전운전행동의 어려움을 보이므로 이를 해결하기 위해서는 운전 행동에 관한 적절한 평가와 작업치료 중재가 필요하다고 사료된다.
