Abstract

The circumstances and nature of concussions among youth who play tackle, flag, or touch football are not well understood. This study used data from Utah's Student Injury Reporting System (SIRS) to explore suspected concussions among K-12 students sustained during participation in football-related activities (tackle, flag, or touch football). Descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses showed that 54.7% of suspected concussions due to football-related activity were among elementary and middle school and 41.3% were among high school students. Most suspected concussions resulted from being struck by or against something (81.9%) and occurred during school-sanctioned games and practices (37.9%), lunch, lunch recess, and recess (34.8%), or physical education class (22.7%). The type of school activity and context for suspected concussions varied by school level. School nurses and others in Utah may use study findings to customize concussion prevention efforts by school level and activity.

犹他州 K-12 学生在足球相关活动中疑似脑震荡的描述。

人们对参加擒抱式、旗帜式或接触式橄榄球的青少年脑震荡的情况和性质还不甚了解。本研究利用犹他州学生伤害报告系统（SIRS）的数据，探讨了 K-12 学生在参加足球相关活动（擒抱式、旗式或接触式橄榄球）期间疑似脑震荡的情况。描述性统计和卡方分析表明，54.7% 的疑似脑震荡发生在小学和初中学生中，41.3% 的疑似脑震荡发生在高中学生中。大多数疑似脑震荡的原因是被物体击打或撞击（81.9%），发生在学校批准的比赛和训练（37.9%）、午餐、午休和课间休息（34.8%）或体育课（22.7%）期间。学校活动的类型和疑似脑震荡发生的背景因学校级别而异。犹他州的学校护士和其他人员可以利用研究结果，按照学校级别和活动来定制脑震荡预防工作。
