The objective of this paper is to review how the mental and psychological well-being of the adolescent athlete population may be impacted by sports injuries, specifically the development of their personal identities. To answer this question, we conducted a narrative review using keywords such as "adolescence," "psychological," "injury," and "sport" in the PubMed database. When conducting the research, we included sources from the past 15 years in order to gain a more present and accurate analysis of our question, and no countries were excluded from our population. Through our research, we identified risk factors that contribute to the rising psychological stress on adolescents. The return to sport was also found to be primarily affected by implied psychological illnesses such as self-confidence and identity, along with parental and coach guidance through the rehabilitation process. Despite the lack of research, scientists work to pursue additional psychological interventions to ensure the emotional well-being of adolescent athletes. Through this review, we aim to inform athletes, coaches, parents, and pediatricians about psychological issues that they may face as they continue to pursue their respective roles in sports. This study also paves a path for future research concerning potential interventions to prevent such psychological issues and ensure both physical and mental health for young athletes.
本文的目的是回顾青少年运动员的心理健康和幸福感如何受到运动损伤的影响，特别是他们个人身份认同的发展。为了回答这个问题，我们在PubMed数据库中使用了“青春期”“心理”“损伤”和“运动”等关键词进行了叙述性综述。在进行研究时，我们纳入了过去15年的资料来源，以便对我们的问题进行更具时效性和准确性的分析，并且我们的研究对象没有排除任何国家。通过我们的研究，我们确定了导致青少年心理压力增加的风险因素。恢复运动也被发现主要受到诸如自信和身份认同等潜在心理疾病的影响，以及父母和教练在康复过程中的指导。尽管缺乏研究，但科学家们致力于寻求更多的心理干预措施，以确保青少年运动员的情绪健康。通过这次综述，我们旨在让运动员、教练、家长和儿科医生了解他们在继续在体育领域发挥各自作用时可能面临的心理问题。这项研究还为未来关于预防此类心理问题并确保年轻运动员身心健康的潜在干预措施的研究铺平了道路。
