Athletes enter injury rehabilitation with certain expectations about the recovery process, outcomes, and the professional providing treatment. Their expectations influence the effectiveness of the assistance received and affect the overall rehabilitation process. Expectations may vary depending on numerous factors such as sport experience, gender, sport type, and cultural background. Unfortunately, limited information is available on athletes' expectations about sport-injury rehabilitation.
To examine possible differences in athletes' expectations about sport-injury rehabilitation based on their country of residence and type of sport (contact vs noncontact).
Cross-sectional.
Recreational, college, and professional athletes from the US, UK, and Finland were surveyed.
Of the 1209 athletes ranging from 12 to 80 y of age (mean 23.46 ± 7.91), 529 US [80%], 253 UK [86%], and 199 Finnish [82%] athletes provided details of their geographical location and were included in the final analyses.
The Expectations About Athletic Training (EAAT) questionnaire was used to determine athletes' expectations about personal commitment, facilitative conditions, and the expertise of the sports-medicine professional (SMP).
A 3 × 2 MANCOVA revealed significant main effects for country (P = .0001, η = .055) and sport type (P = .0001, η = .023). Specifically, US athletes were found to have higher expectations of personal commitment and facilitative conditions than their UK and Finnish counterparts. Athletes participating in contact sports had higher expectations of facilitative conditions and the expertise of the SMP than did athletes participating in noncontact sports.
SMPs, especially those in the US, should consider the sport and environment when providing services. In addition, SMPs need to highlight and demonstrate their expertise during the rehabilitation process, especially for those who compete in contact sports.
运动员带着对康复过程、结果以及提供治疗的专业人员的特定期望进入伤病康复阶段。他们的期望会影响所获援助的效果，并影响整个康复进程。期望可能因众多因素而有所不同，比如运动经历、性别、运动类型和文化背景。不幸的是，关于运动员对运动损伤康复期望的信息有限。
基于运动员的居住国和运动类型（对抗性运动与非对抗性运动），研究运动员对运动损伤康复期望的可能差异。
横断面研究。
对来自美国、英国和芬兰的休闲、大学和职业运动员进行了调查。
在1209名年龄在12至80岁（平均23.46±7.91岁）的运动员中，529名美国运动员（80%）、253名英国运动员（86%）和199名芬兰运动员（82%）提供了他们地理位置的详细信息，并被纳入最终分析。
使用运动训练期望（EAAT）问卷来确定运动员对个人投入、促进条件以及运动医学专业人员（SMP）专业知识的期望。
一项3×2多因素协方差分析显示，国家（P = 0.0001，η = 0.055）和运动类型（P = 0.0001，η = 0.023）有显著的主效应。具体而言，发现美国运动员对个人投入和促进条件的期望高于英国和芬兰的同行。参与对抗性运动的运动员对促进条件和SMP专业知识的期望高于参与非对抗性运动的运动员。
运动医学专业人员，尤其是美国的专业人员，在提供服务时应考虑运动项目和环境。此外，运动医学专业人员在康复过程中需要突出并展示他们的专业知识，特别是对于那些参加对抗性运动的运动员。
