The purpose of this study was to understand the meanings and lived experiences of multiple concussions in professional hockey players using hermeneutic, idiographic, and inductive approaches within an interpretative phenomenological analysis. The interviewer was an athlete who had suffered multiple concussions, and the interviewees were five former National Hockey League athletes who had retired due to medically diagnosed concussions suffered during their careers. The men discussed the physical and psychological symptoms they experienced as a result of their concussions and how the symptoms affected their professional careers, personal relationships, and quality of life. The former professional athletes related these symptoms to the turmoil that is ever present in their lives. These findings are of interest to athletes, coaches, sport administrators, family members, sport psychology practitioners, and medical professionals, as they highlight the severity of short- and long-term effects of concussions.
本研究旨在采用解释现象学分析中的解释学、特殊主义和归纳方法，理解职业曲棍球运动员多次脑震荡的意义和生活体验。访谈者是一位曾遭受多次脑震荡的运动员，受访者是五位因在职业生涯中遭受医学诊断的脑震荡而退役的前国家曲棍球联盟运动员。这些男性讨论了他们因脑震荡而经历的身体和心理症状，以及这些症状如何影响他们的职业生涯、人际关系和生活质量。前职业运动员将这些症状与他们生活中始终存在的动荡联系起来。这些发现对运动员、教练、体育管理人员、家庭成员、运动心理学从业者和医疗专业人员都有意义，因为它们突出了脑震荡的短期和长期影响的严重性。
