Abstract |
To find the effective preventive measures for taxi drivers' health-related vehicle collisions, cross-sectional survey was performed. Self-administered questionnaires were sent to all 2156 company-employed taxi drivers in February 2013. A total of 844 questionnaires were returned. Mean age was 60.7 and 60.4％ of the drivers belonged to the companies with holding less than 30 vehicles. The 28.5％ of persons had driven under the poor health condition; the rate was significantly larger in large scale companies holding 30 or more vehicles than small scale companies. Main reasons for above answer were as follows: understanding not influence on vehicle driving（59.0％）; keeping the income（57.9％）. The 32.6％ of drivers had suffered from sudden illness while driving, however, nearly half of the persons did not stop driving immediately after the event. The 76.0％ of drivers had received the advice from the company that stop driving when sudden illness or symptoms are occurred. The rate did not differ significantly between large and small scale companies. Regarding the drivers' requests for the companies, 34.0％ of drivers needed the comprehensive health management and 27.2％ of drivers hoped undergoing more health check-ups. To prevent vehicle collisions, the improvement of taxi drivers' health status and education in each company should be promoted. In addition to cooporation of employers and taxi drivers, the government would induce a system to support the health management of taxi drivers. Language: ja |
