This cross-sectional study aimed to better understand parental knowledge and attitudes regarding pediatric sport-related concussions, and association with parent/child biopsychosocial factors.
A community sample of ninety families (n = 140 children) were included. Parental concussion knowledge and attitudes, concussion history, sport participation and social risk status score (SRS) were collected.
Parents scored an average of 76% accuracy on factual concussion knowledge, with 74% confidence in responses. Parents endorsed a favorable attitude toward concussion reporting and management. Low SRS had higher perceived accuracy of knowledge than medium or high SRS (p = 0.003). SRS influenced over-and-underestimations of factual knowledge (p = .04). Age at first sport and sport contact level influenced factual and perceived concussion knowledge.
These findings identify common gaps in concussion knowledge in parents.
本横断面研究旨在更好地了解父母对儿童运动相关脑震荡的知识和态度,以及与父母/子女生物心理社会因素的关联。
纳入了来自社区的90个家庭(n = 140名儿童)的样本。收集了父母的脑震荡知识和态度、脑震荡病史、运动参与情况以及社会风险状况评分(SRS)。
父母在脑震荡事实性知识方面的平均准确率为76%,对回答的信心为74%。父母对脑震荡报告和管理持积极态度。低SRS组比中SRS组或高SRS组对知识的感知准确率更高(p = 0.003)。SRS影响了对事实性知识的高估和低估(p = 0.04)。首次参与运动的年龄和运动接触水平影响了事实性和感知性脑震荡知识。
这些发现揭示了父母在脑震荡知识方面的常见差距。
