Development of a Measure of Parent Concussion Management Knowledge and Self-Efficacy.

ABSTRACT: Abstract Assessing parent readiness to support their child's post-concussion management requires valid and reliable measures. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and conduct preliminary tests of reliability and validity of survey measures of parent concussion management knowledge and self-efficacy. Additionally, we tested the hypothesis that among parents of youth who had sustained a concussion, higher scores on measures of knowledge and self-efficacy would predict greater likelihood of engaging in recommended concussion management behaviors during their child's recovery. Measure development occurred with reference to parenting behaviors included in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Management Guidelines. A
