And, finally, because prevailing attitudes towards concussion
symptom reporting and
reporting behavior are deeply entrenched in our sports culture, we encourage, as Step Five, that coaches, athletes, athletic trainers, team doctors, and parents continue working over the course of the sports season to create and maintain an environment in which athletes feel safe in immediately
reporting concussion
symptoms (both their own and their teammates)
by sharing and reinforcing positive messages about the importance of immediate concussion
symptom reporting via social media,
by maintaining open lines of communication and an ongoing dialog about concussion safety among and between and among coaches, athletes, medical staff and parents.
With consistent messaging and constant reinforcement of the value of immediate concussion
reporting in achieving your team's performance goals, and
by making athletes feel comfortable in
reporting, we believe that, not only will attitudes and beliefs about concussion
reporting begin to change, but the concussion
reporting behavior of your athletes will start to change as well, and that, over time, the culture of resistance to concussion
symptom reporting will be replaced
by a sports culture of concussion safety.
Available free of charge on MomsTEAM's new SmartTeams concussion website, the #TeamUp4ConcussionSafetyTM program, developed
by MomsTEAM Institute as part of its SmartTeams Play SafeTM initiative with a Mind Matters Educational Challenge Grant from the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Department of Defense, is designed to do just that: to increase
reporting by athletes of concussion
symptoms by engaging coaches, athletes, parents, and health care providers in a season - long, indeed career - long program which emphasizes that immediate
reporting of concussion
symptoms - not just
by athletes themselves but
by their teammate «buddies» - not only reduces the risk the athlete will suffer a more serious brain injury - or, in rare cases, even death - but is actually helps the team's chances of winning, not just in that game, but,
by giving athletes the best chance to return as quickly as possible from concussion, the rest of the season, and
by teaching that honest
reporting is a valued team behavior and a hallmark of a good teammate.
Anecdotal evidence from NCAA Division I football programs suggests that the signing
by athletes of pledges acknowledging their responsibility to
report concussion
symptoms increases the rate of
reporting by athletes, both of their own
symptoms and those of teammates.
While O'Kane said there was some evidence that concussion education could improve the percentage of athletes
reporting concussions, pointing to a 2012 study [8] finding that high school athletes receiving concussion education were twice as likely to
report symptoms to coaches compared with those with no education (72 % vs. 36 %), he acknowledged that a 2013 study [9](also
by researchers at the University of Washington) found that many high school soccer players, despite understanding the
symptoms of concussion and the potentially severe complications from playing with concussion, would continue to play despite
symptoms.
In Phase Two, which will began in August 2015, the Institute will be awarded an additional $ 75,000 to work with the NCAA and DOD to actually design a prototype educational program to increase understanding of the critical importance of honest and early self -
reporting by student - athletes of concussion
symptoms in the diagnosis and management of concussions.
Besides the 2013 University of Washington study, a number of other recent studies have found education ineffective in improving self -
reporting by athletes, adding to a growing body of evidence challenging the conventional wisdom that inadequate athlete concussion knowledge is the principal barrier to increased
reporting, and suggesting that one of the best ways to combat underreporting
by athletes of concussion
symptoms may be to shift the focus of educational efforts towards helping coaches facilitate concussion
reporting, the theory being that athletes will be more likely to
report concussion
symptoms if they no longer think that they will be punished
by the coach for
reporting, such as
by losing playing time or their starting position, perceived
by their teammates as letting them down, or viewed
by their coach as «weak,» all of which have been documented in numerous studies over the past decade as reasons athletes are reluctant to
report concussion
symptoms.
Second, like Dr. Covassin, she noted that it was based on a parent
report of concussion
symptoms, with about half of the
reported cases never diagnosed
by a medical professional.
Noting other studies finding that between one - third and one - half of players
report concussion
symptoms for which they did not seek medical attention, and the fact that, in the current study, only 44.1 % of athletes identified through the weekly interviews sought medical evaluation
by a QHP, and that the concussion rate considering only those diagnosed
by a QHP was far lower than the overall rate
reported -LRB-.4 per 1,000 AEs versus 1.3 per 1,000 AEs).
[2] «The reluctance to
report concussion
symptoms and to follow protocols [were] likely results from certain cultural factors such as athletes asserting their masculinity
by playing through the discomfort of an injury, and a belief that winning is more important than an athlete's long - term health,» said lead author, Paul Echlin, M.D..
Impact sensors don't depend solely on athletes to remove themselves from games or practices
by reporting concussion
symptoms, or on game officials or sideline personnel to observe signs of concussion.
One way, I believe, to address the problem of under -
reporting and increase the chances a concussion will be identified early on the sports sideline may be to rely less on athletes themselves to remove themselves from games or practices
by reporting concussion
symptoms (which the most recent study shows occurs at a shockingly low rate, [9] or on game officials and sideline observers to observe signs of concussion and call for a concussion assessment, but to employ technology to increase the chances that a concussion will be identified
by employing impact sensors designed to monitor head impact exposure in terms of the force of hits (both linear and rotational), number, location, and cumulative impact, in real time at all levels of football, and in other helmeted and non-helmeted contact and collision sports, where practical, to help identify high - risk impacts and alert medical personnel on the sideline so they can consider performing a concussion assessment.
Parents and coaches will benefit from reduced reliance on honest self -
reporting of concussion
symptoms by athletes and of the less - than - perfect observational skills of sideline management in spotting signs of concussion;
According to a number of recent studies [1,2,5,13,18], while the culture of sport (including influences from professional and other athletes), as well as the media and other outside sources play a role in the decision of student - athletes to
report experiencing concussion
symptoms, it is coaches and teammates, along with parents, who have the strongest influence on the decision to
report a concussion during sport participation, with coaches being one of the primary barriers to increased self -
reporting by athletes of concussive
symptoms.
Student - athletes will benefit the most from reduced exposure to potentially injurious blows and from what one calls the «conundrum of having to self -
report an injury that they may not recognize as being potentially injurious or dangerous in the moment of competition,» or, as recent studies suggest, that athletes know are potentially dangerous but choose not to
report because they fear being punished
by the coach for doing so, such as
by removing them from a starting position, reducing future playing time, or inferring in front of teammates that
reporting symptoms made them «weak» or less «manly»; and
Unless the coach made it clear that an athlete needed to
report symptoms of concussion, it was perceived to be unacceptable to come out because of a «headache» or «dizziness» [because] athletes did not want to be wrong about being concussed and suffer negative consequences» such as being punished
by the coach for
reporting concussive
symptoms «
by removing them from a starting position, reducing their future playing time, or inferring that
reporting concussive
symptoms made them «weak.»»
The program must address the signs and
symptoms of a concussion and require that an official must remove a student from competition and an athletic trainer must remove a student from practice, training or competition if (1) a student
reports any sign or
symptom of a concussion, (2) an official, coach or athletic trainer determines that the student exhibits any sign or
symptom of a concussion, or (3) an official, coach or athletic trainer is notified that the student has
reported or exhibited any sign or
symptom of a concussion
by a licensed, registered or certified health care provider.
It is up to parents to do whatever they can to make sure that their child's coach does not continue to convey the message to athletes that there will be negative consequences to concussion
reporting by removing them from a starting position, reducing future playing time, or inferring that
reporting concussive
symptoms made them «weak», but, instead, creates an environment in which athletes feel safe in honestly self -
reporting experiencing concussion
symptoms or
reporting that a teammate is displaying signs of concussion (and reinforcing that message at home)
If the penalty for not
reporting symptoms, for not playing
by the rules, is to be suspended or kicked off the team, then players will not, as some fear, try to evade the rule and adoption will not lead players to simply stop telling sideline medical personnel that they have any
symptoms so as to avoid being sidelined for the remainder of the game.
Some — though not all,
by any means — pregnant moms of multiples
report intensified
symptoms of nausea, fatigue, breast tenderness, food cravings, or the like.
All too often, even hits hard enough to cause an athlete to display signs of concussion that can be observed
by sideline personnel, or which cause the athlete to experience
symptoms of concussion, go undetected, either because the signs are too subtle to be seen or are simply missed
by sideline personnel or because the athlete fails to
report them (a 2010 study [7] of Canadian junior hockey players, for example, found that, for every concussion self -
reported by the players or identified
by the coaches or on - the - bench medical personnel, physician observers in the stands picked up seven)- a persistent problem that, given the «warrior» mentality and culture of contact and collision sports, is not going to go away any time soon, if ever.
The imaging changes also strongly correlated with the number of head hits (self -
reported by the athletes in a diary), the
symptoms experienced, and independent cognitive tests, said lead author Jeffrey Bazarian, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of Emergency Medicine at URMC.
This is especially true because some
symptoms, especially in the neurobehavioral category (sleeping more than usual, drowsiness, fatigue and nervousness) are often missed or not apparent on an a sideline or initial assessment, or, where
reported by female athletes, may be more attributed to other conditions, such as stress, depression, or anxiety.
