The objective of this study was to determine whether sex, years of sport eligibility completed, and sport contact level influenced student-athletes' concussion reporting intentions and behaviours.
Cross-sectional.
Student-athletes (n = 828) reported their sex, years of sport eligibility completed, sport, and completed concussion reporting intentions and behaviours surveys. Nonparametric statistics were conducted to compare intentions and behaviours between groups (alpha = 0.05).
Females had higher indirect intentions to report concussion than males (p = 0.035), but did not differ in direct intentions (p = 0.258) or behaviours (indirect: p = 0.756; direct: p = 0.686). Intentions (indirect: p = 0.383; direct: p = 0.397) and behaviours (indirect: p = 0.154; direct: p = 0.999) did not differ between years of sport eligibility completed. Limited/non-contact sport student-athletes intended to report more concussions than those in collision/contact sports (indirect: p = 0.001; direct: p = 0.021), but did not differ in behaviours (indirect: p = 0.184; direct: p = 0.497).
Data suggest that female and limited/non-contact sport student-athletes intended to report more concussions, however differences did not translate to reporting behaviours.
本研究的目的是确定性别、完成体育资格认证的年限以及体育接触程度是否会影响学生运动员报告脑震荡的意愿和行为。
横断面研究。
学生运动员(n = 828)报告了他们的性别、完成体育资格认证的年限、运动项目,并完成了脑震荡报告意愿和行为调查。采用非参数统计方法比较各组之间的意愿和行为(α = 0.05)。
女性报告脑震荡的间接意愿高于男性(p = 0.035),但直接意愿(p = 0.258)或行为(间接:p = 0.756;直接:p = 0.686)无差异。完成体育资格认证的年限不同,意愿(间接:p = 0.383;直接:p = 0.397)和行为(间接:p = 0.154;直接:p = 0.999)无差异。有限接触/非接触性运动的学生运动员报告脑震荡的意愿高于碰撞/接触性运动的学生运动员(间接:p = 0.001;直接:p = 0.021),但行为无差异(间接:p = 0.184;直接:p = 0.497)。
数据表明,女性和有限接触/非接触性运动的学生运动员报告脑震荡的意愿更高,然而这些差异并未转化为报告行为。
