The aim of this study was to evaluate athletes' perceptions of social support provided by their coach before injury and after it.
Participants were 29 high school athletes with minor to severe injuries, who were forced to sit out practice or competition for at least 3 days due to their injury. Male (n=17) and female (n=12) team sport and individual sport athletes ranged in age from 18 to 25 years (mean: 21.18; standard deviation: 1.26). Eight subjects (28%) had major injuries, 12 (41%) had moderate injuries, and 9 (29%) had minor injuries. Twenty-nine high school athletes completed a modified version of the Social Support Survey. Data were collected on who provides each of 6 types of social support, how satisfied the high school athletes are with the amount and type of support they received, and the perceived effect of support on their well-being.
With two exceptions, results indicated no differences between preinjury and postinjury satisfaction with the support provided by coaches. The exceptions were for task challenge support and emotional challenge support. Results indicated no differences in the perceived importance to their well-being of support provided by coaches before injury and after it. The exceptions were for listening support and emotional support.
These findings confirm the possible positive effects of coaches' listening and emotional support on injured high school athletes' recovery efforts.
本研究旨在评估运动员在受伤前后对教练提供的社会支持的认知。
参与者为29名受轻伤至重伤的高中运动员,他们因伤被迫至少3天不参加训练或比赛。男运动员(n = 17)和女运动员(n = 12)包括团队运动和个人运动项目的运动员,年龄在18至25岁之间(平均年龄:21.18岁;标准差:1.26)。8名受试者(28%)受重伤,12名(41%)受中度伤,9名(29%)受轻伤。29名高中运动员完成了一份修改版的社会支持调查问卷。收集的数据包括6种社会支持分别由谁提供、高中运动员对所获得支持的数量和类型的满意度,以及支持对他们幸福感的感知影响。
除两个例外情况外,结果表明受伤前后对教练提供的支持的满意度没有差异。例外情况是任务挑战支持和情感挑战支持。结果表明,受伤前后教练提供的支持对他们幸福感的感知重要性没有差异。例外情况是倾听支持和情感支持。
这些发现证实了教练的倾听和情感支持对受伤高中运动员恢复努力可能产生的积极影响。
