Abstract

Context: Collegiate athletes who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D/HoH) are diagnosed with concussions at a similar rate as athletes who are hearing; however, little evidence exists on knowledge and attitudes of athletes who are D/HoH toward concussions. This study aimed to examine differences in knowledge of and attitudes toward concussions between athletes who are D/HoH and athletes who are hearing.

Design: Cross-sectional research design.

Methods: Of the 310 athletes who are D/HoH and 430 athletes who are hearing that were invited to participate, 90 athletes who are D/HoH, and 72 athletes who are hearing completed the survey. The Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey was used to quantify knowledge of and attitude toward concussions. The Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey consists of the concussion knowledge index (CKI) and the concussion attitudes index (CAI) subscales. Linear regressions were run to test the association of hearing status with CKI and CAI scores. Pearson correlations were performed to determine relationships between CKI and CAI for athletes who are D/HoH and athletes who are hearing. Alpha level was set a priori at P ≤ .05.

Results: Athletes who are hearing demonstrated a higher CKI component score (19.58 [2.19]) compared to athletes who are D/HoH (16.14 [3.31]; P < .001). There were no statistical differences in CAI between hearing groups (hearing: 57.18 [8.73], D/HoH: 55.97 [9.92]; P = .41). There was a moderate positive correlation between CKI and CAI (r = .58) for athletes who are D/HoH, while a weak positive correlation (r = .30) for athletes who are hearing was observed.

Conclusions: Athletes who are D/HoH have poorer knowledge of concussions but similar attitudes toward concussion as that of athletes who are hearing. Current concussion educational interventions are in written or spoken form which may not be inclusive to athletes who are D/HoH. Health care professionals should consider an athlete's preferred communication mode to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education.

听力状况对大学生运动员脑震荡知识和态度的影响。

背景：聋人或听力障碍（D/HoH）大学生运动员被诊断为脑震荡的比例与听力障碍运动员相似；然而，有关聋人或听力障碍运动员对脑震荡的认识和态度的证据却很少。本研究旨在探讨聋人/听障运动员与健听运动员在脑震荡知识和态度方面的差异：设计：横断面研究设计：在应邀参加调查的310名D/HoH运动员和430名听力运动员中，有90名D/HoH运动员和72名听力运动员完成了调查。罗森鲍姆脑震荡知识和态度调查用于量化对脑震荡的知识和态度。罗森鲍姆脑震荡知识和态度调查包括脑震荡知识指数（CKI）和脑震荡态度指数（CAI）两个分量表。通过线性回归测试听力状况与 CKI 和 CAI 分数之间的关系。进行皮尔逊相关性分析，以确定D/HoH运动员和听力正常运动员的CKI和CAI之间的关系。α水平先验设定为P≤.05：结果：与听力障碍运动员（16.14 [3.31]；P < .001）相比，听力障碍运动员的 CKI 分值更高（19.58 [2.19]）。听力组之间的 CAI 没有统计学差异（听力：57.18 [8.73]，D/HoH：55.97 [9.92]；P = .41）。听力残疾/听力残疾运动员的 CKI 与 CAI 之间呈中度正相关（r = .58），而听力残疾/听力残疾运动员的 CKI 与 CAI 之间呈弱正相关（r = .30）：结论：耳聋/听力障碍运动员对脑震荡的了解较少，但对脑震荡的态度与听力障碍运动员相似。目前的脑震荡教育干预措施都是以书面或口头形式进行的，可能对听障/健听运动员不适用。医护人员应考虑运动员偏好的交流方式，以提高教育的效率和效果。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (JSR) is your source for the latest peer-reviewed research in the field of sport rehabilitation. All members of the sports-medicine team will benefit from the wealth of important information in each issue. JSR is completely devoted to the rehabilitation of sport and exercise injuries, regardless of the age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status of the participant. JSR publishes peer-reviewed original research, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, critically appraised topics (CATs), case studies/series, and technical reports that directly affect the management and rehabilitation of injuries incurred during sport-related activities, irrespective of the individual’s age, gender, sport ability, level of fitness, or health status. The journal is intended to provide an international, multidisciplinary forum to serve the needs of all members of the sports medicine team, including athletic trainers/therapists, sport physical therapists/physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, and other health care and medical professionals.
