Evaluate the current state of sports injury prevention perception, knowledge and practice among sports medicine professionals located in Western Europe and involved in injury prevention.
Members of two different sports medicine organizations (GOTS and ReFORM) were invited to complete a web-based questionnaire (in German and in French, respectively) addressing perception, knowledge and implementation of sports injury prevention through 22 questions.
766 participants from a dozen of countries completed the survey. Among them, 43% were surgeons, 23% sport physicians and 18% physiotherapists working mainly in France (38%), Germany (23%) and Belgium (10%). The sample rated the importance of injury prevention as "high" or "very high" in a majority of cases (91%), but only 54% reported to be aware of specific injury prevention programmes. The French-speaking world was characterized by lower levels of reported knowledge, unfamiliarity with existing prevention programmes and less weekly time spent on prevention as compared to their German-speaking counterparts. Injury prevention barriers reported by the respondents included mainly insufficient expertise, absence of staff support from sports organizations and lack of time.
There is a lack of awareness regarding injury prevention concepts among sports medicine professionals of the European French- and German-speaking world. This gap varied according to the professional occupation and working country. Relevant future paths for improvement include specific efforts to build awareness around sports injury prevention.
Level IV.
评估西欧运动医学专业人员在运动损伤预防方面的感知、知识和实践现状，这些专业人员从事损伤预防工作。
邀请两个不同的运动医学组织（GOTS 和 ReFORM）的成员完成一份网络问卷，该问卷通过 22 个问题分别以德语和法语的形式探讨了运动损伤预防的感知、知识和实施情况。
来自十几个国家的 766 名参与者完成了这项调查。其中，43%是外科医生，23%是运动医生，18%是理疗师，主要在法国（38%）、德国（23%）和比利时（10%）工作。该样本在大多数情况下（91%）将损伤预防的重要性评为“高”或“非常高”，但只有 54%的人表示了解特定的损伤预防方案。与德语国家相比，说法语的国家报告的知识水平较低，对现有预防方案不熟悉，每周用于预防的时间也较少。受访者报告的损伤预防障碍主要包括专业知识不足、体育组织缺乏人员支持以及缺乏时间。
欧洲说法语和德语国家的运动医学专业人员对损伤预防概念的认识不足。这种差距因专业职业和工作国家而异。未来需要采取具体措施来提高对运动损伤预防的认识，以此作为改进的相关途径。
