AnnotationThis qualitative study sought to discover and compare the perceptions of well older people and their families regarding the impact of the older person's cessation of driving. Similar themes emerged from both groups regarding the sense of burden, the decision process and the meaning of driving to the older person. Congruent and divergent perceptions between family members and older people are illustrated in the text. These provide insight to occupational therapists and others working with older adults regarding the meaning of the occupation of driving. (KJ/RH).
