目的：家长是正确管理青少年运动脑震荡的重要人物。虽然媒体的注意力主要集中在接触/碰撞运动中的脑震荡，但有证据表明，足球中的脑震荡率与接触/碰撞运动中的脑震荡率相当。鉴于青少年足球运动中脑震荡的发生率很高，本研究旨在探讨青少年足球运动员的父母对脑震荡的态度和看法及其相关因素。十字架-一项横断面研究是通过调查美国五个最大的有组织的青少年足球项目的青少年足球运动员的父母来进行的。研究人员在广泛的文献综述和修改以前使用的问卷后开发了一份问卷。结果：总体而言，419名家长完成了调查。绝大多数人（85%）同意脑震荡是一种严重的伤害，但只有27.9%的人认为他们的孩子可能在下一个赛季遭受脑震荡。当孩子遭受脑震荡时，父母最担心的是永久性脑损伤。绝大多数（4.37 +/- .89）认为脑震荡报告是一个重要的伤害预防策略。更大的赞赏和感知风险脑震荡，特别是在父母谁收到脑震荡教育和那些谁目睹或听说脑震荡incidence（s）.Conclusions：研究结果表明，青少年足球父母有很高的赞赏和感知风险脑震荡。然而，人们注意到需要更有针对性的教育，因为可以改进以更好地管理和减少脑震荡。未来的研究应继续探讨青少年运动家长对脑震荡的信念和理解以及影响因素。(C)2020年青少年健康和医学协会。由爱思唯尔公司出版
Purpose: Parents are important figures in properly managing youth sport concussions. Although media attention has predominantly centered on concussions in contact/collision sports, evidence suggests that the concussion rate in soccer is comparable to those found in contact/collision sports. Given the high rate of concussions in youth soccer, this study aimed to examine parents of youth soccer athletes' attitudes and perceptions about concussions and associated factors.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by surveying parents of youth soccer athletes from the five largest organized youth soccer programs across the U.S. The researchers developed a questionnaire after an extensive literature review and by modifying previously used instruments.Results: Overall, 419 parents completed the survey. The vast majority (85%) agreed that a concussion is a serious injury, but only 27.9% believed that their child could suffer a concussion during the next season. Parents were most concerned about permanent brain damage when their child suffers a concussion. The vast majority (4.37 +/- .89) perceived concussion reporting as an important injury prevention strategy. Greater appreciation and perceived risk about concussions was found particularly among parents who received concussion education and those who had witnessed or heard about a concussive incidence(s).Conclusions: Findings suggest that youth soccer parents have high appreciation and perceived risk about concussions. However, the need for more targeted education was noted, as improvements to better manage and reduce concussions can be made. Future research should continue examining youth sport parents' belief and understanding about concussions as well as factors affecting them. (C) 2020 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine.
