초록

노인 운전자는 기능저하로 인해 사고 위험성이 증가하지만 스스로 변화를 점검하는 자가-조절 능력 또한 발달한다. 이에 실제 노인 운전자가 운전 능력과 위험성 변화에 대응하는 특성에 대한 정보는 노인의 운전 능력 평가 현장과 연구에 의미있는 근거를 제공할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 한국 노인 운전자의 운전 위험성 자각 특성을 운전 중 행동과 운전관련 기능변화의 측면에서 분석하여 노인 운전자 평가를 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 것이다. 지역사회에 거주하는 노인 운전자 500명을 대상으로 자가-보고식 평가를 실시하고 노인 운전자의 운전 위험성 자각 징후를 분석하였다. 그 결과 다수의 노인 운전자가 시각 및 청각이 저하되거나 운전 여건 변화에 적응하는데 어려움을 느낄 때 운전 위험성을 자각하는 특성이 있음을 확인하였다. 반면, 약물 복용이나 간질, 발작, 의식 손실 등 의학적 건강 상태 변화에는 둔감하게 반응하는 특성이 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과가 고령화가 가속화되는 한국의 노인 운전자 안전 관리에 기여할 수 있기를 기대한다.

Abstract

Older drivers have an increased risk of accidents due to poor function, but they also develop self-regulation ability to check their own changes. Thus, information on whether the actual elderly driver responds to changes in driving ability and risk may provide a meaningful basis for the clinic and research of the elderly's driving ability assessment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the evaluation of elderly drivers by analyzing the driving risk self-perception characteristics in terms of driving behavior and function with Korean elderly drivers. A self-reporting assessment was conducted on 500 elderly drivers living in the community and the characteristics of driving risk perception were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that many elderly drivers are aware of the driving risk when their vision and hearing are impaired or when they find it difficult to adapt to changes in driving conditions. On the other hand, the characteristics of insensitive reactions to changes in medical health conditions, such as drug use or epilepsy, seizures, and loss of consciousness, were identified. The researcher hopes this study will contribute to the safety management of elderly drivers in Korea, where aging is accelerating.
