ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to examine and compare knowledge regarding concussion among parents of youth soccer players, ages 5–17, from the United States, Israel, and Sicily. Results revealed parents from the United States were more knowledgeable than Israeli and Sicilian parents and were more likely to have a previous history of concussion in their children, themselves, and their social contacts. The success of concussion education, programming, and legislation in the US may account for the greater knowledge of US parents and is reason to advocate for similar resources for youth athletes internationally.

三个国家父母脑震荡知识的跨文化考察

摘要

本研究的目的是检查和比较来自美国、以色列和西西里岛的 5-17 岁青年足球运动员父母对脑震荡的了解。结果显示，来自美国的父母比以色列和西西里的父母知识渊博，更有可能在他们的孩子、他们自己和他们的社会交往中有脑震荡史。美国脑震荡教育、规划和立法的成功可能说明美国父母的知识更加丰富，并且是提倡为国际青年运动员提供类似资源的理由。
