Self-reporting of concussion is essential to appropriate intervention, and failure to report concussion-like symptoms is a significant issue. In the current study we sought to investigate factors that contribute to the process of self-reporting concussion symptoms within the context of the Canadian Football League. A constructivist grounded theory methodology was adopted, employing in-depth, semi-structured interviews with ten Canadian League Football (CFL) players. We found significant complexity within the decision-making process for CFL players, when assessing whether or not to report a concussion. In the preliminary grounded theory emerging from the study, we identified two stages involving 1. pre-game preparation, and 2. assessing the impact. In addition, we determined three related processes (themes): 1. intrapersonal symptom checklists, 2. perceived pressures to play, and 3. certainty of symptoms.... view less

Selbstberichte über eine Gehirnerschütterung sind wesentlich für eine angemessene Intervention, unterbleiben sie, kann dies schwerwiegende Folgen haben. In unserer Studie haben wir Faktoren untersucht, die dazu beitrugen, dass Spieler in der Canadian Football League (CFL) von selbst auf Gehirnerschütterungssymptome hinwiesen. Hierzu führten wir teilstrukturierte Interviews mit zehn CFL-Spielern durch; zur Analyse nutzten wir die konstruktivistische Grounded-Theory-Methodologie. In den Ergebnissen wurden komplexe Entscheidungsfíndungsprozesse offensichtlich, an deren Ende die Spieler über ihre Symptome (nicht) informierten. In einer vorläufigen Grounded Theory haben wir in diesem Zusammenhang zwei Stadien identifiziert, zum einen die Vorbereitung vor den Spielen und zum anderen die Bewertung möglicher Folgen. Hinzu kamen drei verwandte Themen: eine Art individuelle Checkliste, der wahrgenommene Druck, an einem Spiel teilzunehmen sowie die Sicherheit über die Symptomatik.... view less
