Abstract

ABSTRACT Forced early retirement due to a career-ending injury is a unique and traumatic life event for an NCAA collegiate athlete. Although the NCAA financially helps some of these athletes, problems still arise due to inadequate recognition of the psychosocial effects of career-ending injuries. There has been little research to evaluate the effectiveness of a common psychosocial intervention for these athletes. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate if an NCAA-sponsored online support group would help collegiate athletes with career-ending injuries transition out of college sport. Participants were identified using purposive criterion sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with former Division I NCAA collegiate athletes who experienced a career-ending injury. Implications practitioners could use to help ease these athletes’ transition out of sports were identified and a foundation was established for future studies regarding the helpfulness of online support groups for career-ending injured athletes.

NCAA赞助的职业生涯结束的受伤大学运动员过渡退出运动的在线支持小组的评估

由于职业生涯结束的伤病而被迫提前退役对于NCAA大学运动员来说是一个独特的创伤性生活事件。尽管NCAA在经济上帮助了其中一些运动员，但由于对职业生涯结束的伤害的心理社会影响认识不足，问题仍然出现。很少有研究评估对这些运动员进行普通心理社会干预的有效性。本定性研究的目的是调查ncaa赞助的在线支持小组是否会帮助职业生涯结束的伤病大学运动员过渡到大学体育。使用有目的的标准抽样确定参与者。半结构化访谈进行了前一级NCAA大学运动员谁经历了职业生涯结束的伤害。确定了从业者可以用来帮助缓解这些运动员从运动中过渡的含义，并为未来研究关于在线支持团体对职业生涯结束的受伤运动员的帮助奠定了基础。
