Prevalence of Sports Injuries (cont)
A 1997 survey showed that 73% of all World Cup skiers had experienced a season-ending injury during their careers.
Women in college soccer or basketball have a 1 in 10 chance of sustaining an ACL injury (a rate 6 times greater than that of men).

Stress and Injury: Athletes at Risk

Research on Psychological Adjustment to Injury
Psychological stress involves fears of loss of dreams, fears of reinjury, reminders of injury (crash), worries about readiness to return.
Social concerns are isolation and distance from coaches and teammates.
Successful recovery was correlated with the amount of attention and empathy expressed toward them by teammates and coaches.
(Gould et al., 1997)
![Page 13: Chapter 12 Injuries: The Psychology of Recovery and Rehab By Charles Brown](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815c2e550346895dca0ece/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Strategies for Coping
Problem-focused coping involves managing or changing the problem.
Emotion-focused coping involves dealing with the emotions aroused by injury and its aftermath.
Avoidance strategies are also used: disengaging or distancing oneself from the situation. Usually effective only in the short term.
(Carver et al., 1989)

Social Support and Injury
Emotional support is the ability to turn to others for comfort and security.
Esteem support is rebuilding a sense of confidence.
Informational support is about the nature of the injury and what to expect from rehab.
Tangible support is concrete assistance that supports coping.

Goal Setting and Rehab
Athletes need help in setting attainable goals.
Ego-involved athletes are likely to approach rehabilitation by finding someone with a similar injury and attempting to outperform that person.
Task-involved athletes are more likely to focus on good effort and steady improvement.
Help athletes identify rehab models, and teach them mental skills for use in rehab.

Transtheoretical Model of Change
Rehab is dealt with in stages:• Precontemplation• Contemplation• Preparation• Action• Maintenance
There’s a potential relapse stage.
![Page 17: Chapter 12 Injuries: The Psychology of Recovery and Rehab By Charles Brown](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051020/56815c2e550346895dca0ece/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Health Belief Model
Adherence to rehab depends on these factors:• Perceived severity of the injury• The perceived balance between benefits of health-
enhancing behaviors and costs of participating in rehab
Adherence can be maximized by educating the athlete about the nature of the injury, the rationale for rehab, and the possible consequences of failure to complete rehab.

Protection Motivation Theory
Adherence to rehab is determined by these factors:• Severity of threat to health• Perceived susceptibility to threat• Perceived effectiveness of rehab• Self-efficacy toward rehab
