Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop and provide initial validation data for a self‐awareness of on‐road driving ability measure for individuals with brain injury. Method Thirty‐nine individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury completed an on‐road driving assessment, the Self‐Regulation Skills Interview ( SRSI ) and the newly developed Brain Injury Driving Self‐Awareness Measure ( BIDSAM ). Results BIDSAM self, clinician and discrepancy scales demonstrated high levels of internal consistency (α = 0.83–0.92). Criterion‐related validity was established by demonstrating significantly higher correlations between clinician ratings and on‐road performances, r s = 0.82, P 〈 0.01, compared to self‐ratings, r s = 0.45, P 〈 0.05. Discrepancy scores were significantly correlated with the SRSI emergent, r s = 0.52, P 〈 0.01, and anticipatory awareness scores, r s = 0.37, P 〈 0.05, indicative of convergent validity. Conclusions These results provide initial support for the BIDSAM as a reliable and valid measure of self‐awareness of on‐road driving ability following TBI .
