Vloga delovnega terapevta pri starejših voznikih motornih vozil : diplomsko delo

Kobal, Urška (author), Bratun, Urša (mentor), Lebar, Cecilija (reviewer)

Uvod: Z naraščanjem števila svetovnega prebivalstva in daljšanjem življenjske dobe se povečuje tudi število starejših odraslih. Ti se dnevno vključujejo v različne okupacije, med katerimi je tudi vožnja motornega vozila. Rehabilitacijska obravnava starejših voznikov omogoča ohranjanje in izboljšanje vozniških spretnosti ter podaljševanje vozniškega dovoljenja. V tujini in Sloveniji tako obravnavo izvajajo dodatno izobraženi delovni terapevti v posebno oblikovanih timih. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je ugotoviti vlogo delovnega terapevta pri rehabilitacijski obravnavi vožnje starejših voznikov. Metode dela: Opravili smo pregled literature. Literaturo smo iskali v treh bazah, in sicer: PubMed, MEDLINE in Web of Science. Uporabili smo ključne besede, povezane z delovno terapijo in rehabilitacijsko obravnavo vožnje starejših voznikov. Pri izbiri člankov smo uporabili naslednje vključitvene kriterije: članki so morali biti znanstveni in napisani v angleškem jeziku, vključevati so morali populacijo starejših odraslih voznikov po 65. letu starosti, proučevati so morali vlogo delovne terapije pri rehabilitacijski obravnavi vožnje starejših voznikov in objavljeni so morali biti po letu 2014. Zbrane članke smo nato deskriptivno in vsebinsko analizirali ter jih ocenili po relevantnosti. Rezultati: V končno analizo je bilo vključenih 11 člankov, od katerih jih je bilo devet objavljenih v delovnoterapevtskih revijah, eden v gerontološki reviji in eden v medicinski reviji. V člankih so bile opisane različne vloge, ki jih ima delovni terapevt pri rehabilitacijski obravnavi vožnje starejših odraslih v vseh fazah delovnoterapevtskega procesa. Razprava in zaključek: Delovna terapija ima pri rehabilitacijski obravnavi vožnje starejših voznikov pomembno vlogo. Starejši odrasli se vključijo v rehabilitacijsko obravnavo vožnje motornega vozila, ocenijo se njihove vozniške sposobnosti in varnost na cesti. V tujini delovni terapevti sodelujejo tako pri vključevanju starejših voznikov v rehabilitacijsko obravnavo vožnje kot tudi pri izvedbi obravnave. To je praksa tudi v Sloveniji. Delovni terapevti v tujini imajo vlogo ocenjevalca vozniških sposobnosti, načrtovalca obravnav in intervencij za izboljšanje vožnje motornega vozila ter večkrat tudi glavnega izvajalca celostne rehabilitacijske obravnave. V Sloveniji je vloga delovnih terapevtov pri rehabilitacijski obravnavi vožnje starejših voznikov v primerjavi s tujino manjša, saj delujejo le na področjih ocenjevanja vozniških sposobnosti in prilagoditve vozil, ki sta v tujini le del vloge delovnih terapevtov.

• Title: Role of occupational therapist with older drivers : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: As the world population grows and life expectancy increases, so does the number of older adults. They engage in various occupations daily, including driving a motor vehicle. Older driver rehabilitation makes it possible to maintain and improve driving skills and extend the driving license. This is, in Slovenia and abroad, done by specially trained occupational therapists in specially trained teams. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to determine the role of the occupational therapist in older driver rehabilitation Methods: A literature review was conducted. We searched for literature in three databases: PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science. We used keywords related to occupational therapy and older driver rehabilitation. The following inclusion criteria were used to select the articles: the articles had to be scientific and in English, they had to include a population of older drivers over the age of 65, the article had to examine the role of occupational therapy in older driver rehabilitation, and they had to be published after 2014. The collected articles were then analyzed descriptively and substantively and evaluated in terms of relevance. Results: The final analysis included 11 articles, nine of which were published in occupational therapy journals, one in journals related to geriatrics and one in a medical journal. The articles described the different roles that occupational therapists play in older adult driving rehabilitation through all stages of occupational therapy process. Discussion and conclusion: Occupational therapy plays an important role in older driver rehabilitation. Older adults are included in the treatment, and their driving ability and roadway safety are assessed. Occupational therapists abroad participate in the inclusion of older drivers in driving rehabilitation as well as in the implementation of the treatment, which is also practiced in Slovenia. Occupational therapists abroad have the role of an assessor of driving ability, a planner of treatments and interventions to improve driving of a motor vehicle, and often the main provider of comprehensive treatment. In Slovenia, the role of occupational therapists is smaller compared to abroad, as they work only in the fields of assessment of driving characteristics and vehicle adaptation, which is only a small part of the role of occupational therapists abroad.
