The aim of this study is to examine the health anxiety states and behaviours of athletes during the social isolation period due to COVID-19 pandemic.
250 elite athletes participated in the study. 154 of the participants were males and 96 were females. Health Anxiety Scale was used to determine the health anxiety states of the participants in the COVID-19 pandemic process.
Our findings revealed that athletes who were tested for COVID-19 and who thought they had symptoms of the disease had higher levels of health anxiety and athletes who reported a temporary loss in athletic performance had higher disease anxiety.
The results of this study showed that the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation process have some effects on athletes' health anxiety. It will be beneficial to provide psychological support in this period for athletes to have a fast return to competitions and match after the pandemic (Tab. 5, Ref. 24).
本研究旨在调查在因新冠疫情而实施社交隔离期间运动员的健康焦虑状态及行为。
250名精英运动员参与了本研究。其中154名参与者为男性，96名参与者为女性。使用健康焦虑量表来确定参与者在新冠疫情期间的健康焦虑状态。
我们的研究结果显示，接受新冠病毒检测且认为自己有该疾病症状的运动员健康焦虑水平更高，而报告运动成绩暂时下降的运动员疾病焦虑程度更高。
本研究结果表明，新冠疫情及社交隔离过程对运动员的健康焦虑有一定影响。在此期间为运动员提供心理支持，将有助于他们在疫情结束后迅速恢复比赛和竞技（表5，参考文献24）。
