The management of sport-related concussions at the youth and high school sports levels is often the responsibility of coaches due to the lack of qualified health care personnel on site. Active coaches have been noted to subscribe to multiple concussion misconceptions and often do not recognize typical concussion symptoms; however, completion of a formal academic coaching education program has been suggested to improve their knowledge base. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe the concussion knowledge of students enrolled in a coaching education program. A total of 150 coaching education students completed the questionnaire and correctly identified most concussion symptoms (12.3±2.0 of 16) and most concussion misconceptions (7.2±1.3 of 9). Results suggest that coaching education students are more aware of concussion symptoms and subscribe to fewer misconceptions than active coaches. However, a small subset of respondents endorsed potentially dangerous misconceptions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
