Abstract
Occupational Applications: Nurses’ perceived health threat from driving drowsy along with their attitude toward an intervention can be targeted to improve nurses’ intentions to avoid this dangerous behavior. The evidence presented in this paper suggests that educational interventions that raise awareness of the risks of drowsy driving and its consequences (e.g., fatalities or injuries), as well as peer stories about their experiences, may positively affect nurses’ perceived health threat and attitudes toward drowsy driving interventions.
