For decades, physicians, athletic trainers, and other health care professionals have worked to standardize the recovery process following injury to enhance patient outcomes and to help set appropriate goals for return to competition. Traditionally, these efforts have focused primarily on physical and/or physiological aspects of healing with little consideration for psychological aspects. Concurrently, mental health professionals who work with athletes have developed strategies to enhance performance and minimize negative influences of mental aspects of recovery while promoting approaches that include mental as well as physical recovery. Several strategies have emerged that further encourage a multi-faceted and interdisciplinary approach when helping injured patients return to participation. While important in a healthy population, the practical applications of these strategies are likely more critical for an athlete working through the recovery process with an ultimate goal of returning to competition. Despite these realities, both practical experience and a dearth of literature point to the traditional athletic healthcare providers' common focus on physical aspects of recovery and psychological professionals' focus primarily on mental aspects has resulted in sub-optimal outcomes compared to the likely benefits of an integrated approach. This article is intended to characterize current concepts in the fields of sport psychology and mental health concerning the importance of mental aspects of recovery in returning to play. Next, the authors will examine how modern theories can influence practice and discuss how these strategies can be effectively integrated and leveraged to enhance recovery and the athlete's enjoyment of the rehabilitation and ultimately restoration process.
几十年来，医生、运动训练师和其他医疗保健专业人员一直致力于规范受伤后的恢复过程，以提高患者的治疗效果，并帮助设定重返比赛的适当目标。传统上，这些努力主要集中在愈合的身体和/或生理方面，而很少考虑心理方面。与此同时，与运动员合作的心理健康专业人员已经制定了策略，以提高表现，并在促进包括心理和身体恢复的方法的同时，尽量减少恢复过程中心理方面的负面影响。当帮助受伤患者恢复参与时，已经出现了几种进一步鼓励多方面和跨学科方法的策略。虽然这些策略在健康人群中很重要，但对于一名以重返比赛为最终目标、正在经历恢复过程的运动员来说，这些策略的实际应用可能更为关键。尽管存在这些现实情况，但实际经验和文献的匮乏表明，与综合方法可能带来的好处相比，传统的运动医疗保健提供者通常专注于恢复的身体方面，而心理专业人员主要专注于心理方面，这导致了次优的结果。本文旨在阐述运动心理学和心理健康领域中关于恢复的心理方面对重返比赛的重要性的当前概念。接下来，作者将研究现代理论如何影响实践，并讨论如何有效地整合和利用这些策略，以促进恢复以及运动员对康复和最终恢复过程的享受。
