Abstract

Injuries are common in competitive sports and often lead to uncertainty about athletes' future participation. During rehabilitation, athletes face challenges that hinder their basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, often associated with poorer affecting well-being. While prior research has demonstrated links between higher need frustration, lower need satisfaction, and poorer well-being, most studies have been cross-sectional, thereby missing dynamic fluctuations throughout rehabilitation. This intensive longitudinal study aimed to assess these within-person relationships between need satisfaction, need frustration, and affective well-being in injured athletes, as well as examine potential within-person cross-lagged effects.

The study involved 103 injured athletes who completed assessments three times daily over 21 days, resulting in 3074 observations. Using multilevel modeling, the analysis found that 36–45 % of variance in affective well-being, need satisfaction, and need frustration was between individuals, while 55–64 % stemmed from within-person fluctuations. Higher need satisfaction and lower need frustration were linked consistently to better affective well-being at both the within- and between-person levels. However, few significant within-person cross-lagged effects were found.

These findings emphasize the need to address both within-day variations and overall levels of psychological needs during rehabilitation. While the study confirmed the strong association between need satisfaction, need frustration, and affective well-being, further research is needed to establish causal relationships. Ideally, future studies should incorporate a higher frequency of measurements per day to examine feedback mechanisms between these variables during rehabilitation.

在受伤运动员康复过程中，情感幸福感如何与需求满足和挫败感相关？一项深入的纵向研究的结果

受伤在竞技运动中很常见，经常导致运动员未来参与的不确定性。在康复过程中，运动员面临的挑战阻碍了他们对自主性，能力和相关性的基本心理需求，通常与较差的影响健康有关。虽然先前的研究已经证明了更高的需求挫败感、更低的需求满意度和更差的幸福感之间的联系，但大多数研究都是横断面的，因此错过了整个康复过程中的动态波动。这项深入的纵向研究旨在评估受伤运动员的需求满足、需求挫折和情感幸福感之间的人际关系，并检查潜在的人际交叉滞后效应。这项研究涉及103名受伤的运动员，他们在21天内每天完成三次评估，得出3074项观察结果。使用多层次建模，分析发现，情感幸福感、需求满意度和需求挫败感的36 - 45%的差异是个体之间的，而55 - 64%的差异源于个人内部的波动。更高的需求满意度和更低的需求挫折感始终与更好的情感幸福感联系在一起，无论是在人与人之间还是在人与人之间。然而，很少有显著的人体内交叉滞后效应被发现。这些发现强调了在康复过程中需要同时解决一天内的变化和整体水平的心理需求。虽然该研究证实了需求满足、需求挫折和情感幸福感之间的密切联系，但需要进一步的研究来建立因果关系。理想情况下，未来的研究应纳入每天更高频率的测量，以检查康复期间这些变量之间的反馈机制。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
