Correlation between health literacy and sports injuries among high school students with athletic specialization
Objective To investigate the relationship between health literacy and sports injuries among high school students with athletic specialization,so as to provide theoretical basis for the intervention of sports injury occurrence of sports special students.Methods A total of 443 high school students with athletic specialization aged 16-18 years old from 21 urban and rural areas in Shangrao City,Ganzhou City and Nanchang City of Jiangxi Province were selected by convenient sampling method from March to A-pril 2023,and the health literacy and sports injury incidence were investigated.The assessment of sports injury was based on the Monitoring Method of Child and Adolescent Injury,and the assessment of health literacy level was conducted using the Interactive Health Literacy Questionnaire of Chinese Adolescents.x2 test was used to compare the reported rate of sports injuries among the de-mographic and sports training groups and the correlation between health literacy and sports injuries.Binary Logistic regression analy-sis was used to infer the correlation between the health literacy level of high school students with athletic specialization and the oc-currence of sports injuries.Results The prevalence of sports injury was 49.4％in high school students with athletic specialization.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of sports injury of high school students with athletic specialization with medi-um and low level of health literacy was significantly increased compared with high level(medium level:OR=1.98,95％CI=1.12-3.51;low level:OR=2.08,95％CI=1.18-3.68),high school students with athletic specialization in low level of health awareness of sports injury risk was higher than other dimensions of health literacy level(middle level:OR=2.77,95％CI=1.48-5.19;low level:OR=2.01,95％CI=1.04-3.88)(P＜0.05).The results of stratified analysis showed that among male students with athletic specialization and students with track and field,students with moderate/low overall health literacy had a higher risk of sports inju-ries compared to high level students(male students:low level,OR=2.46,95％CI=1.15-5.28;track and field:intermediate lev-el,OR=2.17,95％CI=1.06-4.43,low level,OR=2.09,95％CI=1.02-4.30;P＜0.05).Conclusions There is a correlation be-tween the health literacy level of high school students with athletic specialization and the occurrence of sports injuries.Students'health awareness should be improved to reduce the risk of sports injuries.
