In-line skating is increasing in popularity with a concomitant raise in the number of injuries associated with this activity. Studies have emphasized the value of protective gears in reducing the incidence of injuries and the subsequent need to identify the factors and processes involved in decision making about safety gear-wearing. The present study examined the contribution of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) variables, and perceived susceptibility to and perceived severity of skating injury on the safety gear-wearing intention of adult skaters.
Skaters (n=181) completed a questionnaire assessing the constructs of the TPB, perceived susceptibility to and perceived severity of skating injuries, and intention to wear safety gear.
Hierarchical regression analyses revealed significant contributions of instrumental attitude and subjective norm to the prediction of safety gear-wearing intention. In addition, perceived susceptibility to and perceived severity of injuries enhanced the prediction of intentions to wear safety gear over and above the contribution of TPB components.
As the TPB focuses only on behavioural evaluation, it seems promising to include threat perceptions in this theory as another aspect of health-related cognitions motivating intention formation about safety gear use. Practical implications for future campaigns and countermeasures are discussed.
随着直排轮滑的普及，与之相关的受伤人数也相应增加。研究强调了防护装备在降低受伤发生率的价值，以及随后确定与安全装备佩戴相关的决策因素和过程的重要性。本研究考察了计划行为理论（TPB）变量、对轮滑受伤的易感性和严重性的感知，以及对成年轮滑者佩戴安全装备的意图的影响。
轮滑者（n=181）完成了一份问卷，评估了 TPB 的结构、对轮滑受伤的易感性和严重性的感知，以及佩戴安全装备的意图。
层次回归分析显示，工具性态度和主观规范对安全装备佩戴意图的预测有显著贡献。此外，对受伤的易感性和严重性的感知，除了 TPB 成分的贡献外，还增强了对佩戴安全装备意图的预测。
由于 TPB 仅关注行为评估，因此将威胁感知纳入该理论似乎是有希望的，将其作为与健康相关的认知的另一个方面，从而激发对安全装备使用的意图形成。讨论了对未来运动和对策的实际影响。
