To investigate the degree of knowledge North American chiropractors have in regards to concussion diagnosis and management.
A Concussion Knowledge Assessment Tool (CKAT) survey was administered to North American chiropractors through SurveyMonkey.com. This survey was sent to all practicing members of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and Canadian Chiropractic Association (CCA).
1321 surveys were completed and analyzed (response rate of 3.3%). The average score of the CKAT amongst North American Chiropractors was 4.82 out of 9. Using our modified scoring method, chiropractors scored 39.44 out of 48.
North American chiropractors who participated in this study demonstrated concussion knowledge and management using the CKAT tool. Further investigation is recommended in order to address learning gaps and updating the CKAT based on current literature and guidelines.
调查北美脊椎按摩师在脑震荡诊断和管理方面的知识水平。
通过SurveyMonkey.com对北美脊椎按摩师进行了脑震荡知识评估工具(CKAT)调查。该调查发送给了美国脊椎按摩协会(ACA)和加拿大脊椎按摩协会(CCA)的所有执业会员。
共完成并分析了1321份调查问卷(回复率为3.3%)。北美脊椎按摩师的CKAT平均得分为9分中的4.82分。使用我们改进的评分方法,脊椎按摩师在48分中得分为39.44分。
参与本研究的北美脊椎按摩师使用CKAT工具展示了脑震荡知识和管理能力。建议进行进一步调查,以弥补知识差距,并根据当前文献和指南更新CKAT。
