背景：以前关于运动相关脑震荡(SRC)知识和报道行为的文献仅限于高中和全国大学体育协会大学生运动员；目的：了解高校俱乐部体育运动员对传统和非传统体育项目的SRC知识和报告行为的水平，探讨传统和非传统体育项目运动员之间的差异。设计：横断面研究。调查对象：参加传统和非传统俱乐部体育项目的410名运动员(男247人，女163人)。主要结果测量(S)：调查内容包括人口学特征、SRC征兆和症状的认知度、一般SRC知识以及运动员不报告SRC的原因。自变量为运动类型。运动相关脑震荡症状体征和常识知识通过对SRC体征症状和常识问题的正确回答频率进行评定。结果：SRC症状体征知识得分为23.01+/-3.19，一般SRC知识得分为36.49+/-4.16(满分43分)。传统与非传统大学生俱乐部运动项目运动员在SRC症状体征知识(F-1，F-408=1.99，P=.16)或一般SRC知识(F-1，F-408=3.28，P=0.07)上差异无统计学意义。未报告SRC的最常见原因是未将其识别为严重损伤(n=165，40.3%)。卡方检验显示，运动类型与未报告SRC的5个原因之间存在显著关系。结论：参与者对SRC的知识水平处于中等至较高水平，但表示由于各种原因，他们已经或将不会报告SRC。缺乏运动医学保险，以及知识和损伤识别之间的脱节，可能会使大学俱乐部运动运动员更有可能在脑震荡时参加比赛。
Context: Previous literature on sport-related concussion (SRC) knowledge and reporting behaviors has been limited to high school and National Collegiate Athletic Association collegiate athletes; however, knowledge regarding collegiate club-sport athletes is limited.Objective: To determine the level of SRC knowledge and reporting behaviors among collegiate club-sport athletes and to investigate differences between athletes in traditional and nontraditional sports.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Survey.Patients or Other Participants: A total of 410 athletes (247 males, 163 females) involved in traditional (n = 244) or nontraditional (n = 165) collegiate club sports.Main Outcome Measure(s): The survey consisted of demographics, recognition of SRC signs and symptoms, general SRC knowledge, and reasons why athletes would not report SRCs. The independent variable was sport type. Sport-related concussion signs and symptoms and general knowledge were assessed by the frequency of correct answers to SRC signs and symptoms and general knowledge questions. Sport-related concussion-reporting behavior frequencies were evaluated by asking participants to indicate reasons why they did not or would not report an SRC.Results: The SRC signs and symptoms knowledge score was 23.01 +/- 3.19 and general SRC knowledge score was 36.49 +/- 4.16 (maximal score = 43). No differences were present for SRC signs and symptoms knowledge (F-1,F-408 =1.99, P= .16) or general SRC knowledge (F-1,F-408 = 3.28, P = .07) between athletes in traditional and nontraditional collegiate club sports. The most common reason for not reporting an SRC was not recognizing it as a serious injury (n = 165, 40.3%). Chi-square tests demonstrated significant relationships between sport type and 5 reasons for not reporting an SRC.Conclusions: The participants displayed moderate to high levels of knowledge of SRCs but indicated they had failed to or would fail to report SRCs for a variety of reasons. The lack of sports medicine coverage and disconnect between knowledge and injury recognition may make collegiate club-sport athletes more likely to participate while concussed.
