Pregunta Respuesta
Why is the response to injury very dynamic in nature? The injury is the stressor to the individual athlete who evaluates that injury in accordance with personal and situational factors thus the response to the injury is very much dependent on how the athletes perceives the injury not the injury itself.
What 3 types of Psychological Response do we exhibit when we get injured? Cognitive, Emotional, Behavioral.
What are the Cognitive Responses we exhibit when injured? We try to attribute the reason for injury (Behavioural or Mechanical/technical factors). We question our self-perception (loss of athletic identity, loss of self esteem and self worth, loss of self efficacy and self-confidence). We employ coping strategies which are cognitive processes used to combat psychological consequences of injury (Problem Focused or Emotion Focused). Those who may cognitively cope better with injury may perceive the possible benefits of the injury (personal growth, challenge, sport performance enhancement)
What are the Emotional Responses we exhibit when injured? Emotional Response is often a temporal one, thus emotions change as we progress through the injury process. In the early stage of injury we may exhibit negative emotions (Depression, Frustration, Confusion, Anger, Fear) In the middle stage of rehab we still may exhibit some negative emotions (depression, frustration) but our focus is shifting to more rehab related concerns. In the late stage of rehab, once again we may still exhibit depression and frustration, but as we move closer to return our focus may return to injury return and thus fear of reinjury. Both Personal (age) and Sutuational (Sport, Social, Environmental, type of Injury) factors affect emotional response.
