Concussion. 2020 May 11;5(2):CNC74. doi: 10.2217/cnc-2019-0014.
To describe what suffering multiple concussions meant for former semi-professional or professional hockey players who were forced to end their career.
Nine former Swedish hockey players, who once played on national or professional teams were interviewed. The interviews were analyzed with reference to hermeneutic phenomenology to interpret and explain their experiences. The theme of losing one's identity as a hockey player was constructed from five subthemes: being limited in everyday life, returning to the hockey stadium as soon as possible, forming a post career identity, lacking understanding and support, and preventing injuries by respecting other players.
The former hockey players struggled with developing their off-the-ice identities and with finding other sources of meaning for their lives.
描述多次脑震荡对那些被迫结束职业生涯的前半职业或职业曲棍球运动员意味着什么。
对九名曾效力于国家或职业球队的前瑞典曲棍球运动员进行了访谈。参照诠释现象学对访谈进行分析,以解读和阐释他们的经历。作为曲棍球运动员失去自我身份认同这一主题由五个子主题构成:日常生活受到限制、尽快重返曲棍球场、形成职业生涯后的身份认同、缺乏理解与支持以及通过尊重其他球员来预防受伤。
这些前曲棍球运动员在培养冰场外身份认同以及为生活寻找其他意义来源方面面临困难。
