This study was designed to examine the attitudes of student athletes toward the use of painkilling drugs. A total of 563 student athletes at two Division One NCAA universities were surveyed in this study. Twenty-nine percent of the student athletes (n = 165) reported that they felt there is nothing wrong with using painkilling drugs on the day of competition (when injured) to cope with pain. These student athletes reported that they would use painkilling drugs to mask injury in order to continue to participate in their sport. Student athletes' perceptions of societal norms and expectations related to competition, and the degree of control student athletes perceive that they have when deciding to use painkillers, may be important determinants governing the extent to which they may be at risk for abusing these substances. Research on planned behavior and reasoned action against suggests that salient beliefs affect intentions and subsequent behaviors, either through attitudes or subjective norms, or the degree of (perceived) control that an individual feels he/she has over the behavior [1, 2]. This theoretical model was used as a guiding framework for analyzing the attitudes of college athletes toward painkilling drugs. Recommendations are included in this article for coaches, educators, team physicians, team trainers, and administrators who are concerned about controlling the use and abuse of painkilling drugs by student athletes.
本研究旨在调查学生运动员对使用止痛药物的态度。在这项研究中，对两所美国大学体育总会（NCAA）一级联盟大学的563名学生运动员进行了调查。29%的学生运动员（n = 165）表示，他们觉得在比赛当天（受伤时）使用止痛药物来缓解疼痛并没有什么问题。这些学生运动员表示，他们会使用止痛药物来掩盖伤痛，以便继续参加他们的运动项目。学生运动员对与比赛相关的社会规范和期望的认知，以及他们在决定使用止痛药时所感知到的控制程度，可能是决定他们滥用这些药物风险程度的重要因素。针对计划行为和理性行动的研究表明，显著信念会通过态度、主观规范或个人对行为的（感知）控制程度来影响意图和后续行为[1, 2]。这一理论模型被用作分析大学生运动员对止痛药物态度的指导框架。本文为关注控制学生运动员使用和滥用止痛药物的教练、教育工作者、队医、团队训练师和管理人员提供了建议。
