Addressing Driving in Acute Care: Perceived Relevance and Competence.
BACKGROUND.: Recent legislation has expanded the responsibilities of occupational therapists regarding fitness to drive in the Canadian province of Ontario. To date, little is known about the practice of acute care occupational therapy with addressing driving, or how such responsibilities have affected clinical practice.
PURPOSE.: The objective of this study was to understand the relevance of driving-related knowledge areas to acute care occupational therapists and examine their self-reported competency for these areas.
METHOD.: Anonymous online surveys were administered to 41 occupational therapists working in acute care hospitals in Ontario.
FINDINGS.: Therapists reported many driving-related knowledge areas are relevant to acute care practice yet consistently reported lower levels of competence for addressing such areas.
IMPLICATIONS.: Findings support the need for further competency development regarding driving-related practice in acute care. Occupational therapy curriculum and continuing education initiatives are avenues for capacity-building. Future research to identify effective competency development strategies is warranted.
