Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Athletic Training Education

Background:

  • Psychological distress is linked to athletic injuries and can affect recovery.
  • Athletic trainers (ATCs) are key in managing athlete well-being but may lack specific psychological training.
  • National Athletic Trainers' Association competencies include counseling, yet ATCs report insufficient training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the need for structured educational training for ATCs in the psychological aspects of athletic injury.
  • To highlight the impact of psychological distress on injury incidence, rehabilitation, and recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of MEDLINE, Psych Lit, Psyc-INFO, First Search, and SPORT Discus (1990-1999).
  • Keywords included "psychological distress," "depression," "athletic injury," and "rehabilitation adherence."

Main Results:

  • Psychological factors are significant predictors of athletic injury.
  • Athletic injuries often involve psychological distress, impairing rehabilitation and physical recovery.
  • ATCs may overlook psychosocial factors in injury and recovery, despite their importance.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological distress is associated with athletic injury incidence and can persist post-recovery.
  • Psychological factors influence rehabilitation adherence and outcomes.
  • ATCs would benefit from structured education on recognizing and managing psychological aspects of athletic injury, especially given limited access to sport psychologists.
