Resumo Objetivo Mapear evidências científicas nacionais e internacionais sobre a condução veicular por pessoas idosas. Método Revisão de escopo baseada no manual proposto pelo Joanna Briggs Institute. Para as buscas foram acessadas as bases MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO e a literatura cinzenta, por meio do Google Scholar. Resultados Dos 1.194 estudos encontrados, selecionaram-se 189 artigos submetidos aos critérios de elegibilidade. Os países precursores nas publicações foram Austrália e Estados Unidos, e o ápice das pesquisas ocorreu entre 2013 e 2014. Os participantes dos estudos eram pessoas idosas saudáveis, 63,49% (120); seguidos de 17,46% (33) com doença de Alzheimer; 11,11% (21) com Transtorno Neurocognitivo Leve; 6,88% (13) com doença de Parkinson; e 19,58% (37) com outras comorbidades. Diferentes tipos de intervenções foram identificadas nos estudos, destas, 94,02% (178) avaliaram a eficácia de instrumentos que mensuram a aptidão do motorista idoso. Conclusão Houve predominância de estudos na busca de instrumentos de avaliação que mensurassem a funcionalidade do condutor idoso. Esse fato ratifica a importância de avaliação padronizada, validada e economicamente viável que colabore na identificação do motorista em risco. Evidenciou-se a necessidade de intervenções para a prática da geriatria e gerontologia, por meio de ações para formação de equipe multidisciplinar especializada em condução veicular, de modo a adequar as diretrizes de licenciamento a fim de atender às especificidades dos condutores idosos, considerando os aspectos sociais, econômicos, políticos e educacionais, especialmente nos departamentos de trânsito brasileiro.

Objective To map national and international scientific evidence regarding driving by older adults. Method Scope review based on the manual proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were conducted in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO databases, and grey literature through Google Scholar. Results Out of 1,194 studies identified, 189 papers meeting eligibility criteria were selected. Pioneering countries in publications were Australia and the United States, with the peak of research occurring between 2013 and 2014. Study participants included healthy older adults (63.49%, 120), followed by those with Alzheimer's disease (17.46%, 33), Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (11.11%, 21), Parkinson's disease (6.88%, 13), and other comorbidities (19.58%, 37). Various interventions were identified, with 94.02% (178) assessing the effectiveness of instruments measuring the fitness of older drivers. Conclusion There was a prevalence of studies aimed at identifying assessment tools to measure the functionality of older drivers. This underscores the importance of standardized, validated, and economically viable assessments that contribute to identifying at-risk drivers. The need for interventions in geriatrics and gerontology was evident, emphasizing the necessity for actions to establish a specialized multidisciplinary team in vehicular driving. This approach seeks to align licensing guidelines with the specific needs of older drivers, taking into account social, economic, political, and educational aspects, particularly within the Brazilian traffic departments.

“…These two tools were categorised separately as 'multi-domain' due to their ability to screen an individual's sensory, physical, and cognitive functions. A few sub-tests were brought together in the Occupational Therapy-Driver Assessment Off-Road Assessment (OT-DORA) Battery (42,43)and if this could be predicted using the occupational therapy -driver off-road assessment battery (OT-DORA Battery and Assessment of Driving Related Skills (ADReS) (21), and thus, making it easier to screen the client's functions before proceeding to an on-road assessment.…”

This scoping review aims to explore the screening and assessment tools used for driving rehabilitation in older adults and the domains that these tools evaluate. Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases were used to search for potential studies published from 2012 to 2022, and 34 studies met our inclusion criteria. The findings revealed various types of tools used to screen and assess older adults' fitness to drive, including off-road screening tools (n = 54), off-road assessment tools (n = 21), and on-road assessment tools (n = 20). This review also identified five main domains evaluated by these tools: general information, physical, cognitive, vision, and driving competency. This review provides valuable insights into the screening and assessment tools available for evaluating driving rehabilitation in older adults. The results of this study may assist in the growth of the occupational therapy profession in the area of driving rehabilitation by guiding them in selecting the most appropriate tools to evaluate older adults' fitness to drive.
