Driving rehabilitation interventions have the potential to address driving-related anxiety, however, the evidence is not yet critically appraised. Researchers conducted a systematic review on the impact of on-road, driving simulator or virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) driving rehabilitation interventions addressing driving-related anxiety. Searches in nine databases identified 1521 records, with 12 remaining for quality appraisal: two on-road, six driving simulator, and four on VRET. On-road interventions were low quality. Meanwhile, driving simulation and VRET interventions included high-quality evidence demonstrating significant reductions in psychological symptoms, subjective distress, and driving errors.","PeriodicalId":44781,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Therapy in Mental Health","volume":"37 1","pages":"178 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0164212X.2021.1877593","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45185218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
