“…The majority of participants were women, but men and women have different driving behaviors and beliefs, 19,50,51 so future work will need to target men to better explore their perspectives. In addition, participation was voluntary, and participating physicians and drivers may have been more interested in the topic than nonparticipants in ways that could have affected the results, such as an overestimation of openness to driving discussions.…”

“…[10][11][12][13] Efforts to keep older drivers safe but mobile 10,14,15 are complicated, because cognitive, physical and sensory impairments, and their treatments, can affect driving. 2,16,17 Healthcare providers have a leading role in issues related to older drivers, 18 because they are trusted by patients and their families [19][20][21] and have obligations related to patient and community safety. 18,22 However, most clinicians receive no focused training concerning older driver assessment and may be reluctant to have these often emotional, difficult discussions.…”

“…Hal ini terjadi karena mereka menganggap bahwa cara yang dilakukan selama ini sudah benar sehingga sulit untuk menerima perubahan.

ABSTRAKPraktik atau perilaku petugas karantina hewan dalam pengendalian bruselosis dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal berupa karakteristik individu yang bersifat khas dan dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal berupa lingkungan, sosial dan budaya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi karakteristik individu petugas karantina hewan dan menganalisis pola hubungan karakteristik, pengetahuan, dansikap terhadap praktik petugas karantina hewan dalam pengendalian bruselosis di Sulawesi Selatan. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah cross sectional study. Metode pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan pengamatan terhadap 51 orang petugas karantina hewan di dua Unit Pelaksana Teknis Badan Karantina Pertanian di Sulawesi Selatan. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner terstruktur, dan dianalisis menggunakan path analysis. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik petugas karantina hewan sebagian besar berusia antara 30-45 tahun, telah bekerja sebagai PNS maupun bekerja di tempat yang sekarang kurang dari lima tahun, pendidikannya SMA/sederajat. Tidak semua petugas karantina hewan adalah pejabat fungsional dan mayoritas belum pernah mengikuti pelatihan terkait bruselosis. Terdapat hubungan yang nyata antara pendidikan dan pengetahuan, pengetahuan dan sikap, serta sikap dan praktik. Pendidikan formal berperan penting dalam terbentuknya pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik petugas karantina hewan dalam pengendalian bruselosis. Sehingga upaya peningkatan pendidikan formal pada petugas karantina hewan perlu dilakukan.Kata kunci : pengetahuan, bruselosis, path analysis, praktik, sikap ABSTRACTThe practices or behaviors of animal quarantine officer in control of brucellosis were influenced by internal factors such as the typical individual characteristics and the external factors such as environmental, social and cultural. This study was aimed to identify the characteristics of the animal quarantine officers in South Sulawesi and analyze the relationship patterns of characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes towards the practices of animal quarantine officers in the control of brucellosis in South Sulawesi. The cross sectional study design was used in this research. This research was conducted in two Technical Implementation Unit of Agriculture Quarantine Agency in South Sulawesi involving 51 animal quarantine officers. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using path analysis. The study showed that the characteristics of the animal quarantine officers were mostly 30-45 years old, and they worked as a government officers less than five years. Most of them went to the high schoolor equivalent. Not all of animal quarantine officers were as functional and the majority of them have not yet attended the training on brucellosis. There was a significant correlation among formal education with knowledges, knowledges with attitudes, and attitudes with practices. Formal education played an important role in the development of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of animal quarantine officers in controlling brucell...

“…In addition, as mentioned by Siren and Meng (2012) and Lyman and colleagues (2001), the involvement of health professionals in driving safety efforts may be an untapped resource, where communication needs to be improved. Because women are more likely to self-regulate by not driving (Hakamies-Blomqvist and Wahlstrom 1998; Kostyniuk and Mulnar 2008;Tuokko et al 2007), future studies need to have large sample sizes to allow for gender analyses.…”

“…However, some studies demonstrated an association between self-reported abilities and driving performance Molnar et al 2010), whereas others did not (Bédard et al 2011;Scialfa et al 2010); evaluations of such programs are complex. Knowing more about psychosocial factors related to driving such as driver perceptions, beliefs, and openness to change would help to maximize the fit between education program content and outcomes (Tuokko et al 2007) and further improve older drivers' skills.…”

In summary, in addition to increasing older adults' interest, openness, and knowledge to discussion about driving, OSCAR also improved awareness of the changes that could negatively impact safe driving and enhanced utilization of compensatory strategies. While promoting safe driving and the prevention of crashes and injuries, this intervention could ultimately help older adults maintain or increase their transportation mobility. More studies are needed to further evaluate OSCAR and identify ways to improve its effectiveness.
