Outline of Final Research Achievements

Firstly, we verified the reliability of the Japanese version of the family caregiver’s self-efficacy scale regarding driving issues related to discontinuation of automobile driving in patients with dementia. Secondly, we performed a psycho-educational intervention using our manual targeting 43 subjects at the psychiatric outpatient clinic at a hospital. Three months after the intervention, our survey revealed a significantly lower traffic accident incidence in the early intervention group, suggesting the effectiveness of the present psycho-educational intervention.
