Abstract

Objective: To explore regional differences (i.e. Europe, Asia and others) in the well-being of para-athletes and its potential psychosocial determinants, including the Athletic Identity Measure Scale (AIMS), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).

Methods: The study was a cross-sectional survey using data from multinational badminton federations. The study participants were athletes registered in the Para Badminton Classification Master List of the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The main study outcome is the WHO Quality of Life-Disability Questionnaire (WHOQOL-DIS).

Results: There were 1,385 (aged 36 years old, IQR 18 years old) registrants on the master list. Respondents totaled 170. Only 137 (65% were males) were included in the analysis after excluding those with missing data (Europe 40%, Asia 30%, others 30%). Following the results of factor analysis, the original Athletic Identity Measure Scale (AIMS) was separated into self-identity (SI) and AIMS-modified. SI, AIMS-modified, the BRS and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were all scored above average. The AIMS-modified scores of Europeans were significantly lower than those of other non-Asians (U = 757.000, P < 0.05). BRS was statistically higher among those with acquired disabilities (median: 3.33) compared to those with congenital disabilities (median: 3.0) (U = 1,717.000, Z = -2.711, P < 0.05) and among Europeans (median: 3.3) compared to Asians (median: 3.0) (U = 704.500, P < 0.05). The regression model explained 32% of the variability in quality of life (QOL) with five significant predictors. The SWLS (β = 0.307, P = 0.01), BRS (β = 0.269, P = 0.01), full-time employment (β = 0.191, P = 0.05) and being female (β = 0.162, P = 0.05) all had a positive effect on QOL, but not the AIMS (-0.228, P = 0.05).

Conclusion: The results show that the athletes' resilience, satisfaction with life and identity vary across regions. Furthermore, satisfaction with life, employment and gender were found to be significant predictors of athletes' QOL.

残疾人羽毛球运动员的运动员身份、复原力、生活满意度和幸福感：一项跨国调查。

目的探讨各地区（即欧洲、亚洲和其他地区）准运动员幸福感的差异及其潜在的社会心理决定因素，包括运动员身份测量量表（AIMS）、简易复原力量表（BRS）和生活满意度量表（SWLS）：本研究是一项横断面调查，使用的数据来自多国羽毛球联合会。研究对象是在世界羽联（BWF）残疾人羽毛球分类总表中注册的运动员。主要研究结果为世界卫生组织生活质量-残疾问卷（WHOQOL-DIS）：总名单上共有 1,385 名注册者（年龄 36 岁，IQR 18 岁）。受访者共计 170 人。在排除数据缺失者（欧洲占 40%，亚洲占 30%，其他占 30%）后，只有 137 人（65% 为男性）被纳入分析。根据因子分析的结果，原运动身份测量量表（AIMS）被分为自我身份（SI）和 AIMS 修正量表。SI、AIMS 修正版、BRS 和生活满意度量表（SWLS）的得分均高于平均水平。欧洲人的 AIMS 修正版得分明显低于其他非亚洲人（U = 757.000，P < 0.05）。据统计，后天残疾者的 BRS（中位数：3.33）高于先天残疾者（中位数：3.0）（U = 1,717.000, Z = -2.711，P < 0.05），欧洲人的 BRS（中位数：3.3）高于亚洲人（中位数：3.0）（U = 704.500，P < 0.05）。回归模型解释了生活质量（QOL）变异的 32%，其中有五个重要的预测因素。SWLS（β = 0.307，P = 0.01）、BRS（β = 0.269，P = 0.01）、全职工作（β = 0.191，P = 0.05）和女性（β = 0.162，P = 0.05）都对生活质量有积极影响，但 AIMS（-0.228，P = 0.05）没有：结论：研究结果表明，运动员的抗挫折能力、对生活的满意度和身份认同感在不同地区有所不同。此外，还发现生活满意度、就业和性别对运动员的 QOL 有显著的预测作用。

期刊介绍： The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, fully online journal that is published at least six times a year. The journal’s scope encompasses all aspects of medical sciences including biomedical, allied health, clinical and social sciences. We accept high quality papers from basic to translational research especially from low & middle income countries, as classified by the United Nations & World Bank (https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/ articles/906519), with the aim that published research will benefit back the bottom billion population from these countries. Manuscripts submitted from developed or high income countries to MJMS must contain data and information that will benefit the socio-health and bio-medical sciences of these low and middle income countries. The MJMS editorial board consists of internationally regarded clinicians and scientists from low and middle income countries.
