Abstract
Evidence on cognitive abilities and driving activity's self-confidence associated with difficulty in performing driving among post-stroke patients is still insufficient. Therefore, the cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the association between post-stroke survivors' cognitive abilities and driving activity's self-confidence among post-stroke patients. The findings indicated a significant association (p<0.05) between cognitive ability with age and driving status. Moreover, driving status shows a significant association (p <0.05) with self-confidence. Therefore, an occupational therapist must conduct an off-road evaluation identifying an individual's cognitive capacity and self-confidence associated with the post-stroke patient's driving performance.
