As a result of age-related changes, chronic medical conditions, the side-effects of medication or a combination of these, many older people decide or are required to give up driving. Driving is a highly valued role, associated with freedom, independence and convenience. Because of this, the transition to driving cessation can be traumatic and associated with depression, social isolation and compromised well-being. Despite the frequent reporting of poor outcomes for older people after driving cessation, limited attention has been given to developing and evaluating methods to help older people prepare for and cope with this transition. This study will evaluate the effect of a group intervention on older people's episodes away from home, use of alternative transport modes, life satisfaction, depression, and self-rated performance of and satisfaction with up to five lifestyle goals related to transport. This study will contribute to evidence for the effectiveness of a group intervention versus usual practice (which is to say, no intervention) to help older people maintain their well-being and stay engaged in valued roles, activities and the community after retiring from driving. It will also contribute to the theoretical underpinnings of adjustment after undergoing the transition to retired driver.

由于年龄相关的变化，慢性疾病，药物的副作用或这些组合，许多老年人决定或被要求放弃驾驶。驾驶是一个非常有价值的角色，与自由，独立和便利有关。正因为如此，过渡到停止驾驶可能是创伤性的，并与抑郁症，社会孤立和健康受损有关。尽管经常报告老年人停止驾驶后的不良结果，但对制定和评估帮助老年人准备和科普这一过渡的方法的关注有限。本研究将评估小组干预对老年人离家事件的影响，使用替代交通方式，生活满意度，抑郁症，以及与交通相关的五种生活方式目标的自我评价表现和满意度。这项研究将有助于证明团体干预与通常做法（也就是说，没有干预）的有效性，以帮助老年人在退休后保持健康，并继续从事有价值的角色，活动和社区。这也将有助于理论基础的调整后，经历了过渡到退休的司机。
