Abstract
Families and patients of acquired brain injury have difficulty participating in society when driving is interrupted due to an insufficient support system. The purpose of this Meta-study was to develop an intervention framework by organizing the experiences of the patients and their families after cessation of driving. The research included in the meta-study were qualitative studies published up to 2020, and nine foreign papers were selected. We then coded the quotes from the target studies and organized them into three categories:Person, Environment, and Occupation. The results were classified into 39 subcategories. The person category was organized into five themes for clients, three themes for family members, three themes for the environment, and four themes for Occupation. The results can be utilized for the intervention of acquired brain injury persons who experienced driving interruption. Since the selected papers were published abroad, further research is desirable for their use in Japan.
