A Qualitative Study of Collegiate Student-Athlete Experiences of Recovery After Concussion
Our findings indicate that experiences after concussion are influenced by factors including expectations for recovery, managing symptoms, and navigating decision-making, and by relationships and the social environment. Findings have implications for the way concussion is managed, and the design and application of new treatment and management guidelines for concussion. Future targeted work should investigate ways to explore and measure these factors.
