Nearly 175,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms each year for
concussions due to sports-related activities, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Parental knowledge of the signs and
symptoms of concussion and recognizing that this is a brain injury is
important to ensure children are diagnosed in a timely manner and get
appropriate treatment.
.
Two separate studies looked at parents' knowledge of concussion and common
misconceptions. They will be presented as part of the Peds21 symposium,
"1, 2, 3, Go! Sports in the World of PediatricsPlaying it Safe and Making
it Fun!" in the San Diego Convention Center.
.
For the first abstract, titled "Parental Knowledge of Concussion," 511
parents of children ages 5-18 years who sought care at a pediatric
emergency department within two weeks of their child suffering a head
injury filled out a 24-item survey. They were asked questions about their
demographics, their child's head injury, and general questions related to
their knowledge of concussion and its treatment.
.
Results showed about half of parents correctly identified a concussion as
a brain injury that could lead to symptoms such as headache or difficulty
concentrating. No parental demographics (age, sex, education or prior
history of sports participation) significantly predicted parents'
knowledge about concussions.
.
The survey also indicated that almost all parents (92 percent) were aware
that they should stop their child from playing and see a physician if they
suspected a concussion. Yet only 26 percent were aware of guidelines on
when their child could return to sports and school work.
