زمینه و هدف
Road traffic injury (RTI) and the related mass casualties are persistent public health challenges in most regions of the world, threatening people's health and substantial human and economic losses huge costs on the states. Also professional drivers are mostly exposed to workload indexes, like night shifts and irregular schedules, high prevalence of minor psychiatric disorders, including fatigue, memory loss, and insomnia leading to road traffic accidents and injury. The present paper aimed at evaluating the
روش کار
The sample was comprised of 303 professional drivers in Kashan, Iran. This research is a cross-sectional research design performed in Kashan, Iran, from February 2018 to September 2019. the driver's involvement is voluntary. The study participants performed a large variety of heavy vehicle drivers with a mix of the bus (20%), truck, and trailer (80%) driver. The sampling method was simple random. The inclusion criteria for the participants were lacking physical and mental disabilities, ability to read and write, and keenness to contribute to the research. Exclusion criteria for the participants included providing incomplete responses to the question. Measures: Exogenous variable (dependent variable), Intermediate variable (intervening variable), Endogenous variable (independent variable). This cross-sectional study was carried out amongst 303 professional drivers in Kashan. Unsafe behaviour was measured using DBQ. Additionally, a questionnaire was developed to assess the number of accidents and socio-demographic factors. Structural Equation Modelling approaches were employed in the evaluated research hypothesis.
یافتهها
A cautious analysis was done for the total of 320 questionnaires composed, and the questionnaires with missing data were removed, reducing the number of questionnaires to 303. Descriptive statistics revealed the average age of participants was 43.15 (SD=10.29) and ranged from 21 to 75, consisting of Passenger vehicles driver (20.1%) and Commercial and goods vehicles drivers (79.9%). The majority were married (94%). Participants drove for an average 11.3 years (SD = 9.2) with the average speed 85.9 km/h (SD = 13.2). Professional drivers’ average daily driving rate was 11.73 hours (SD = 3.92) in a day and 5.15 days (SD = 1.58) of driving in a week. Most participants revealed that they do not use drugs (97%), alcohol (93.4%), and cigarettes (63.4%). Correlations were computed to explore the interrelationships among variables. There was a significant and positive correlation between risky driving behaviors variables (i.e., slip, highway violations, mistakes, and risky violations) (P
نتیجهگیری
The main factors of the driver to get involved in a traffic accident and dangerous driving behaviour are followed: driver's education level, driver's experience, hours of driving, driver's drug use habit, risky and slip. It was noted that the level of road safety awareness is low. It can be decided that additional exertions should be made for arranging and imposing road safety and active traffic laws legislations with encouraging traffic safety responsiveness of the public.
