目标：曲棍球是许多原住民年轻人喜爱的一项运动。在青少年曲棍球运动中，脑震荡常常未被识别和报告。土著青年的意外伤害发生率是加拿大全国平均水平的三到四倍。该研究旨在调查参加省级曲棍球锦标赛的原住民的知识、态度和脑震荡信息来源。方法：进行了横断面调查。 Mzazik 等人的调查。被修改以用于本研究。参与者包括青少年（6-18 岁）曲棍球运动员（n = 75）、家长（n = 248）和教练（n = 68）。主要结果衡量指标是总知识指数 (TKI)，它由 15 个多项选择题的正确回答总和组成。收集的其他数据包括人口统计、脑震荡历史、对脑震荡的态度和信息来源。描述性统计包括比例比较。使用chi(2) 和方差分析来测试变量。结果：总体 TKI 评分（总共 15 分）较低；球员（5.9 +/- 2.8）、家长（7.5 +/- 2.6）和教练（7.9 +/- 2.6）。知识得分较高的参与者更了解脑震荡的严重性。有关脑震荡的信息来源因研究小组而异，这表明需要采取多种知识转化策略来接触青少年、家长和教练。结论：迫切需要采取未来举措来改善原住民青少年曲棍球脑震荡的教育和预防。与社区合作和参与有助于确保以土著视角进行文化安全干预措施。
Objective: Hockey is a popular sport played by many First Nation youth. Concussion frequently goes unrecognized and unreported in youth hockey. Unintentional injuries among Indigenous youth occur at rates three to four times the national Canadian average. The study sought to examine knowledge, attitudes and sources of concussion information among First Nations people attending a provincial hockey tournament. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken. The survey by Mzazik et al. were modified to use in this study. Participants included youth (6-18 years) hockey players (n = 75), parents (n = 248) and coaches (n = 68). The main outcome measure was total knowledge index (TKI) which consisted of the sum of correct responses to 15 multiple choice questions. Additional data gathered included demographics, concussion history, attitudes toward concussion and sources of information. Descriptive statistics included proportion comparisons. Variables were tested using chi(2) and analysis of variance. Results: Overall TKI scores (out of a total of 15) were low; players (5.9 +/- 2.8), parents (7.5 +/- 2.6) and coaches (7.9 +/- 2.6). Participants with higher knowledge scores reported more appreciation of the seriousness of concussion. Sources of information about concussion differed by study group, suggesting the need for multiple knowledge translation strategies to reach youth, parents and coaches. Conclusions: Future initiatives are urgently needed to improve education and prevention of concussion in First Nations youth hockey. Collaborating and engaging with communities can help to ensure an Indigenous lens for culturally safe interventions.
