Sammanfattning

I dagens samhälle är bilkörning en viktig aktivitet för många individer. Att köra bil påverkar individens möjligheter till meningsfulla aktiviteter och självständighet. Efter att en person har fått en stroke kan personens körkort bli ifrågasatt. Ett vanligt bedömningsinstrument som arbetsterapeuter använder vid bedömning av kognitiv lämplighet inför fortsatt körkortsinnehav är Nordic Stroke Driver Screening Assessment (NorSDSA).

Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att jämföra parvisa NorSDSA-bedömningars resultat mellan äldre friska individer och äldre individer med stroke. Sex friska äldre individer matchades med sex äldre individer med stroke avseende ålder och kön. Resultaten visade en tendens till att äldre individer med stroke presterade ett lägre resultat på NorSDSA än äldre friska individer. Skillnaden i resultat visades främst i deltesten pricköverstrykning antal missar, riktningar och kompass. Slutresultatet på NorSDSA visade att alla äldre friska individer var godkända på testet medan en äldre individ med stroke hade ett godkänt resultat, en hade ett ovisst resultat och fyra hade ett underkänt resultat. Då urvalet var litet ska resultatet inte generaliseras, men resultatet väcker intresse att göra en större och fördjupad studie inom detta område.

Summary

A comparison of the results from the Nordic Stroke Driver Screening Assessment between elderly healthy individuals and elderly individuals with stroke.

In today’s society driving a car is an important activity for a lot of people. The ability to drive affects a person´s options regarding meaningful activities and independence. After a stroke, a person´s ability to continue driving might be questioned. Occupational therapists often use the Nordic Stroke Driver Screening Assessment (NorSDSA) to assess the cognitive suitability to drive a car.

The purpose with this quantitative study was a comparison of the results from the Nordic Stroke Driver Screening Assessment between elderly healthy individuals and elderly individuals with stroke. Six healthy elderly individuals were matched with six elderly individuals with stroke, with regards to ageand gender. The results showed a tendency for elderly individuals with stroke to score lower in the NorSDSA, than elderly healthy individuals. The differences in the results were particularly noticeable in the following test sections: direction tasks, compass and dot cancellation. The final results from the NorSDSA showed that all the elderly, healthy individuals passed the test while one elderly person with stroke passed, one had an uncertain result and four did not pass. Because of the small selection in this study the result should not be generalised but it raises an interest for a bigger and more in-depth study within this field.
