According to the buffering hypothesis, social support moderates the harmful effects of stress and, in turn, indirectly affects injured athletes' health and well-being. Previous research suggests that perceptions of social support influence athletes' psychological reactions, as well as their rehabilitation adherence, but additional research in this area is warranted.
To examine injured athletes' perceptions regarding satisfaction, availability, and contribution for each of the 8 types of social support.
Descriptive.
Mid-Atlantic Division II and III institutions.
49 injured athletes.
Social support was assessed using a modified version of the Social Support Survey.
Injured athletes were significantly more satisfied with social support provided by athletic trainers (ATCs) than that provided by coaches and teammates. In addition, injured athletes reported that social support provided by ATCs contributed significantly more to their overall well-being. Athletes reported several significant differences regarding satisfaction and contribution to well-being among the 8 different types of social support.
Injury, an unavoidable part of sport, is often accompanied by negative psychological reactions. This reaction may have a negative influence on an athlete's experience of injury and rehabilitation. Findings suggest that perceptions of social support provided by ATCs have the greatest influence on injured athletes' rehabilitation and well-being.
根据缓冲假说，社会支持可以减轻压力的有害影响，进而间接地影响受伤运动员的健康和幸福感。先前的研究表明，对社会支持的看法会影响运动员的心理反应，以及他们的康复依从性，但该领域还需要更多的研究。
检查受伤运动员对 8 种社会支持类型中的每一种的满意度、可用性和贡献的看法。
描述性研究。
大西洋中部第二和第三分部的机构。
49 名受伤运动员。
使用社会支持调查问卷的修订版评估社会支持。
受伤运动员对运动训练员（ATC）提供的社会支持的满意度明显高于教练和队友提供的社会支持。此外，受伤运动员报告说，ATC 提供的社会支持对他们的整体幸福感有很大的贡献。运动员报告了 8 种不同类型的社会支持在满意度和对幸福感的贡献方面的几个显著差异。
运动中不可避免的受伤常常伴随着负面的心理反应。这种反应可能对运动员的受伤和康复体验产生负面影响。研究结果表明，运动员对 ATC 提供的社会支持的看法对他们的康复和幸福感有最大的影响。
