Drivers’ Attitudes on Campus Roads: A review

Despite numerous campaigns on road safety for the university population, driving attitudes off campus is often reflected on campus. Thus, the paper reviews the literature on why traffic congestion and accidents occur on campus with a focus on drivers' attitudes. The scope of the investigation will be the students, staff, and other university stakeholders who regularly drive on campus. The approach for this paper is more of a literature review with narratives and descriptions of the campus topology. The analyses and interpretations of the literature were through systematic identification of themes and variables which will be discussed in the paper.Keywords: Campus traffic; Driver attitude; Transport system planning; Driver behavioreISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS-46) as a Future Predictor in Determining a Young Adult Quality Of Life: Part II

The purpose of part II is to explain the correlation between driver's attitude and their quality of life. Based on the previous study, Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS-46) was used jointly with and WHOQOL-BREF to examine the relationship. The result showed that ASDS-46 and WHOQOL-BREF have a high level of reliability with Cronbach's Alpha value .887 and .853 respectively. Domain 2 and 3 (psychological & social relationship) shows a positive correlation with the value of (P=.003 and .017). This study concludes that the positive correlation between driver's attitude and the psychological domain is an alarming issue which needs further investigation.Keywords:ASDS-46; WHOQOL-BREF; driver’s attitude; young adult© 2017.The Authors.

Translation and Validation of the Indonesian Version of SaringSikap Assessment Form

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the face and content validity of an instrument that had developed to assess the validation of the Indonesian version of the Saringan Skala Sikap Selamat© (SaringSikap) assessment form perceived by Indonesian people. The SaringSikap is also known as Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale © (ASDS). The content validity of the instrument was assessed by I-CVI/UA, yielding scores of .97 and .93, respectively. Findings indicated that this instrument had an excellent face and content validity and could thus be used to validate the Indonesian version of the Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS).

The Development and Validation of Pre-Driving Assessment: Attitude towards safe driving scale

An occupational therapist who involved with driving rehabilitation should use a proper evaluation in identifying safe driving behaviour during the pre-driving assessment. Many reports have stated that human factors contributed up to 97% of collision. This study aims to develop a psychological evaluation that measures human factors in traffic safety during the pre-driving assessment. This study was involved sequential mix methodology approach. The factor analysis was carried out to determine the validity and reliability of the evaluation (Cronbach alpha .887). This assessment found to be adequate in providing the standard means of risky driving attitude based on the cut off value established.Keywords: Occupational science; Pre-driving assessment; Functional activities; Driving rehabilitationeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Interdependence in Malay Older People Who Live in the Institutions: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

AbstractThe aim of this study is to identify the benefit of interdependency in Malay older people who live in the institution. A qualitative approach has been used and in-depth semi-structured interview was conducted to three older people who lived in the institutions. The transcript obtained was analysed using the six stages of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). One superordinate theme was emerged from that interview; life satisfaction. The superordinate theme was represented by two master themes that were “Alhamdulillah” (Contentment) and “Redha” (Acceptance). These themes facilitate the sense of the quality of life among older people in the institution

Overview of Fishing Activities as Therapy for University Students towards Mental Wellness

The reported increase in university students with mental health issues has resulted in the recommendation of recreational activity. Therefore, this paper provides overviews of previous studies and literature evidencing physical activities that have been effective in reducing stress levels regardless of age and gender. Fishing is the advocated activity as therapy for pre-identified students with mental health issues that have impeded their quality of life. By ensuring that there are proper, early interventions for the students, it is hoped that they will be able to handle their issues and lead a quality of life that befits the university graduate.Keywords: mental wellness; fishing; therapy; quality of lifeeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020.

Interdependency and Quality of Life amongst Malay Older People in the Community: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the practice of interdependence in Malay older people who live in the community setting in Malaysia. Eleven Malay older people participated in this qualitative study involved an in-depth interview. The data was analysed using six stages of the interpretative phenomenological analysis. Two main themes emerged from the interview transcripts, which are an interpersonal relationship and festive and congregation. The event is a platform to meet and communicate with each other to foster a closer relationship. This interdependence is postulated to facilitate the sense of the quality of life

The Application of HIRARC on Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale (ASDS) according to PreSiM Model

The level of hazard identification (HI) determined based on ASDS mean cut off. The risk assessment (RA) and risk control (RC) later translate into PreSiM model. The process of transformation into the matrix table shows promising result in assessing human factors in term hazard, risk and possible RTA control. This scale will enable the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) team to evaluate the level of severity and action needed to prevent further injury. However, caution should be made where human components and occupational performance of drivers may change over time, and the risk controls are yet to be further analyzed.

Human Factors and Attitude towards Safe Driving Scale among Young Adults in Malaysia

The human factor is one of the major causes that contributed to a road traffic accident (RTA). This study aims to identify the correlation between sleep duration and safe driving attitude among young adult in Malaysia. The significant relationship showed between Domain (D) 1, 4 and 5 of ASDS-46 with sleep duration (ESS). D1 (self-complaint), D4 (self-concern) has positive correlation (p= .110 and .147) and D5 (driving style) has negative correlation (p=.132). In conclusion, short sleep duration may influence the risk of RTA, and on-road assessment is recommended for further investigation.Keywords: Young adult; Sleep quality; Driver’s attitude; Human factorseISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.
