ABSTRACT

Investigations into parents’ role as health referents in the management of sport-related concussion (SRC) are on the rise. This study contributes to these efforts by exploring the efficacy of concussion intervention materials to promote conversational intentions because of parents’ orientations toward football and SRC management. Data collected from 600 parents of middle and high school football players offered support for an indirect effect of family sport orientations on SRC conversation intentions after reading concussion intervention material via perceptions of argument strength and self-efficacy, sequentially (i.e., serial mediation). These results underscore the importance of recognizing the characteristics and belief systems of parents when involving them in SRC management efforts.

对父母在运动相关脑震荡 (SRC) 管理中作为健康参考的作用的调查正在增加。由于父母对足球和 SRC 管理的取向，本研究通过探索脑震荡干预材料促进对话意图的功效，为这些努力做出了贡献。从 600 名初中和高中足球运动员的父母收集的数据支持在阅读脑震荡干预材料后，通过对争论强度和自我效能感的感知，顺序（即连续调解），家庭运动取向对 SRC 对话意图的间接影响。这些结果强调了在让父母参与 SRC 管理工作时认识他们的特征和信仰体系的重要性。
