An off-road driving assessment includes a variety of tests. However, in Malaysia, the availability of standardised tools is still lacking. Some standardised driving assessment tools are costly, and the contents are less suitable for Malaysian settings. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a standardised, sensitive to local culture, affordable, and comprehensive pre-driving assessment for occupational therapists in Malaysia. The research design for this study was an explanatory sequential design. The initial draft of the Malaysia Pre-driving Occupational Therapy Assessment (M-POTA) was developed based on the literature review and validated by the ten experts. The initial draft was refined using a focus group discussion of ten expert panels. The recorded data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis and member-checking procedures to refine the items, structures, and scoring of the M-POTA. The second draft of M-POTA then went through the content and face validation process by the six expert panels. The M-POTA 1.0 version was produced from this process. The M-POTA 1.0 version was found to have good content and face validity, S-CVI/Ave= 0.998; S-CVI/UA= 0.986; modified kappa= 0.81 to 1.000). The validated M-POTA 1.0 version is a standardised, local culture-sensitive, and cost-effective off-road driving assessment that is hoped to improve Malaysia’s current driving rehabilitation practice.

Penilaian pra-pemanduan merangkumi pelbagai jenis ujian. Walau bagaimanapun, di Malaysia, ketersediaan alat piawai masih berkurangan. Sesetengah alat penilaian pemanduan piawai adalah mahal dan kandungannya kurang sesuai untuk tetapan Malaysia. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk membangunkan penilaian pra-pemanduan yang piawai, sensitif kepada budaya tempatan, berpatutan dan komprehensif untuk ahli terapi cara kerja di Malaysia. Reka bentuk kajian ini ialah kaedah penjelasan berurutan. Draf awal Penilaian Pra-Pemanduan Terapi Cara Kerja Malaysia (M-POTA) telah dibangunkan berdasarkan kajian literatur dan disahkan oleh sepuluh panel pakar. Draf awal telah diperhalusi menggunakan perbincangan kumpulan berfokus bersama sepuluh panel pakar. Data yang direkodkan telah ditranskripsikan secara verbatim dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis tematik dan prosedur semakan ahli untuk memperhalusi item, struktur dan pemarkahan M-POTA. Draf kedua M-POTA kemudiannya melalui proses pengesahan kandungan dan muka oleh enam panel pakar. Versi M-POTA 1.0 dihasilkan daripada proses ini. Versi M-POTA 1.0 didapati mempunyai kandungan yang baik dan kesahan muka, S-CVI/Ave = 0.998; S-CVI/UA = 0.986; kappa diubah suai = 0.81 hingga 1.000). Versi M-POTA 1.0 yang disahkan adalah penilaian pra-pemanduan yang piawai, sensitif budaya tempatan dan kos efektif yang diharapkan dapat menambah baik amalan rehabilitasi pemanduan semasa Malaysia.
