Establish the knowledge and beliefs of the parents of high school rugby players about concussion.
Descriptive cross-sectional intercept style face-to-face pilot survey.
The survey was conducted during high school rugby games.
Two hundred parents of male high school rugby players who were attending their teenagers' games.
Exploratory analysis of the closed- and open-ended questionnaire. Concussion signs and symptoms were subsequently mapped onto the framework of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool.
Most parents (83%; 165 of 198) reported that they were able to recognize a concussion in their teenager and provide a list of well-accepted signs and symptoms. Nearly all (96%; 188 of 196) were aware of the risks of continuing to play while concussed, and approximately half (51%; 99 of 196) were aware of return-to-play guidelines/recommendations after a concussion.
Parents of male high school rugby players reported having basic knowledge of concussion symptoms and the seriousness of concussion. Parents are potentially key figures in the detection of a possible concussion in the postgame/practice home environment.
了解高中橄榄球运动员家长对脑震荡的认知和看法。
描述性横断面拦截式面对面试点调查。
调查在高中橄榄球比赛期间进行。
200名参加其青少年比赛的高中男橄榄球运动员的家长。
对封闭式和开放式问卷进行探索性分析。随后将脑震荡的体征和症状映射到运动脑震荡评估工具的框架上。
大多数家长（83%；198名中的165名）报告称，他们能够识别自己孩子的脑震荡情况，并能列出被广泛认可的体征和症状。几乎所有家长（96%；196名中的188名）都意识到脑震荡时继续比赛的风险，约一半家长（51%；196名中的99名）了解脑震荡后的重返赛场指南/建议。
高中男橄榄球运动员的家长报告称对脑震荡症状和脑震荡的严重性有基本了解。家长可能是在赛后/训练后家庭环境中发现可能脑震荡的关键人物。
