Abstract
Driving is a multitasking operation that involves manual, visual, and cognitive tasks. However, drivers often tend to perform non-driving activities that divert their attention from primary task of driving. These may be due to drivers’ interaction with in-vehicle sources such as conversing with a passenger, using a mobile phone, drinking or eating, or adjusting the radio or other vehicle controls. The importance of knowledge, attitude and practice of road safety measures needs to be emphasized in the prevention of road traffic accidents (RTAs). The present study is aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of distracted driving related to road accident measures among the students in school of health sciences, LJSM, Malaysia. A total of 186 final year students were included in this cross-sectional study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the relevant information from the participants. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 22. Out of the 186 participants, 160 (86.0%) were females and 26 (14.0%) were males. Overall, students have good knowledge 131 (70.4%), average attitude 132 (70.9%) and average practice 133 (71.5%). The results showed there was no significant different between gender and knowledge, attitude and practice with /? values of 0.915, 0.445 and 0.326. There was significant driving experience effect with regard to practice towards distracted driving related to road accident with higher score of practice in group of diving experience less than 2 years (30.17 ± 5.51) than driving experience two years and more (28.02 ± 5.42).
