The purpose of this qualitative research study was to interview current and retired Gaelic games athletes to understand the current landscape of concussion recovery in Gaelic sports from the athlete perspective.
A grounded theory methodology was employed to explore the experiences of a cohort of Gaelic games athletes ( = 22) regarding recovery from concussion, the levels of concussion awareness in Gaelic sports and their opinions on current concussion identification protocols. The study's data were gathered through semi-structured interviews.
Two major themes were identified, (1) Male and female athletes experience a range of acute and chronic symptoms post-SRC and (2) Gaelic sports athletes are expected to demonstrate constant allegiance and commitment to the GAA. These themes were further divided into categories and subcategories.
Based on the experiences of the cohort of Gaelic sports athletes, there exists a wide variation of SRC symptomology in the acute, and chronic (post-concussion syndrome) phases. In many cases, there are reports of long-term side effects associated with the perceived mismanagement or misdiagnosis of SRC in Gaelic sports. Gaelic sports athletes require a more robust SRC management system to support and manage SRC in the acute, chronic and long-term phases.
这项定性研究的目的是采访现役和退役的盖尔式足球运动员，从运动员的角度了解盖尔式运动中脑震荡恢复的现状。
采用扎根理论方法，探讨一组盖尔式足球运动员（n = 22）在脑震荡恢复方面的经历、盖尔式运动中脑震荡的认知水平以及他们对当前脑震荡识别方案的看法。该研究的数据通过半结构化访谈收集。
确定了两个主要主题，（1）男性和女性运动员在脑震荡后会经历一系列急性和慢性症状，（2）盖尔式运动运动员被期望对盖尔运动协会表现出始终如一的忠诚和奉献。这些主题进一步细分为类别和子类别。
基于盖尔式运动运动员群体的经历，在急性和慢性（脑震荡后综合征）阶段，脑震荡症状存在很大差异。在许多情况下，有报道称盖尔式运动中脑震荡管理不当或误诊会带来长期副作用。盖尔式运动运动员需要一个更强大的脑震荡管理系统，以在急性、慢性和长期阶段支持和管理脑震荡。
