This study investigated the relationships between the type of pain experienced (performance pain and injury pain), the cognitive appraisal of pain and pain coping styles in dancers. Fifty-one professional ballet and contemporary dancers (17 males and 34 females), with the mean age of 25.9 years, completed a general pain questionnaire, the Pain Appraisal Inventory, the Survey of Pain Attitudes Control Subscale, and the Sports Inventory for Pain. Multivariate analyses of variance indicated that both the cognitive appraisal of the pain and pain coping styles did not differ according to the type of pain experienced or the pain severity. However, it was found that dancers with performance pain of either low or high severity were more likely to dance in pain than dancers experiencing injury pain. Multiple regression analyses indicated that the appraisal of pain as threatening was predictive of the use of avoidance and catastrophizing pain coping styles. Overall, results indicated that dancers may not differentiate between performance pain and injury pain, or modify their appraisal and coping strategies according to the characteristics of the pain experienced. The study highlighted an opportunity for increased education for dancers in recognizing the difference between pain considered to be a routine aspect of training and pain which is a signal of serious injury.
本研究调查了舞者所经历的疼痛类型（表演疼痛和受伤疼痛）、对疼痛的认知评估以及疼痛应对方式之间的关系。51名专业芭蕾舞和现代舞舞者（17名男性和34名女性），平均年龄25.9岁，完成了一份一般疼痛问卷、疼痛评估量表、疼痛态度控制子量表调查以及疼痛运动量表。多变量方差分析表明，对疼痛的认知评估和疼痛应对方式不会因所经历的疼痛类型或疼痛严重程度而有所不同。然而，研究发现，无论严重程度高低，经历表演疼痛的舞者比经历受伤疼痛的舞者更有可能在疼痛中继续跳舞。多元回归分析表明，将疼痛评估为具有威胁性可预测回避和灾难化疼痛应对方式的使用。总体而言，结果表明舞者可能无法区分表演疼痛和受伤疼痛，也不会根据所经历疼痛的特征调整其评估和应对策略。该研究突出了一个机会，即加强对舞者的教育，使其认识到被视为训练常规部分的疼痛与作为严重受伤信号的疼痛之间的区别。
