Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 5 (Mai 2018) . - p. 245-246 Titre : Development of the International Expert Advisory Panel on Community Health and Transport (I-CHaT) to coordinate research on transport mobility Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Vaucher ; Moon Choi ; Isabelle Gélinas ; et al. Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 245-246 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : During the past 10 years, there has been a major shift in our understanding of the nexus between transportation and health. Health concerns evolved from road safety alone to encompass a broader view of the important relationships between transportation mobility and engagement in out-of-home activities. Occupational therapists have a leading role in this area, reflecting the American Occupational Therapy Association (2014)Occupational Therapy Practice Framework that includes driving and community mobility as an important Instrumental Activity of Daily Living. Transportation mobility, including driving, is often an essential ‘occupational enabler,’ through which older adults can sustain their continued social engagement and interactions with their wider communities (Stav and McGuire, 2012). As part of their role, occupational therapists facilitate consumers to manage the challenges presented by major transitions. A major transition can be the time when an older adult must relinquish their role as a driver. This transition may have been prompted by a formal assessment of their driving skills. Loss of licensure necessitates the development of new transportation networks to ensure continued connections to the people and places that maintain older people to live happily and successfully at home. There is growing awareness of the role of occupational therapists in the assessment of medical fitness to drive as evidenced by the extensive research literature from Australia, Canada, and the United States, and more recently from Israel, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Moreover, occupational therapists have a significant contribution to make to the wider area of transportation-related concerns and transportation access and mobility planning across the lifespan. The research contributions occupational therapists and colleagues have made in the field of community transport mobility have been showcased in special editions of many occupational therapy journals, most recently in two issues in this journal in 2015 (issues 78(2) and 78(6), guest edited by Priscilla Harries and Carolyn Unsworth) and previously in Canadian (CJOT issue 78(2), guest edited by Polgar) and American (AJOT issue 64(2), guest edited by Classen) occupational therapy journals, and in Occupational Therapy in Health Care (issue 28(2), guest edited by Dickerson).
