摘要：
Objective: To investigate the attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported clinical practices of general practitioners (GPs) in South Australia (SA) regarding driving and dementia. Method: Information from GPs was gathered via a postal questionnaire. Results: Respondent GPs shared concern about the safety of patients with dementia who drive. Familiarity with the current SA legislation relevant to driving and dementia was modest. A variety of clinical practices are employed by GPs in relation to the assessment and management of the safe driving practices of patients with dementia. Conclusions: Recommendations are made to guide SA GPs in their judgements regarding the driving safety of patients with dementia.
