Abstract

This study used an exploratory mixed-method sequential design to examine anger, impulsivity, and anxiety following sport-related concussions (SRC). Ten college athletes (M = 20.10 years, SD = 2.92) completed four measures 1–10 days postconcussion (Visit 1) and 11–20 days postconcussion (Visit 2). At return to play or 30 days postconcussion, the athletes completed a semistructured interview (follow-up) to assess their lived experiences of the emotional sequelae of concussions. All participants indicated experiencing some level of anxiety at Visit 1, with half the participants scoring above the measure’s threshold for probable clinical diagnosis of anxiety. The results found a significant decrease in symptoms and anxiety at Visit 2. Inductive coding revealed frustration, irritability, impulsive behavior, and fear of the unknown as themes pertaining to athletes’ experiences. The findings highlight the need for sports medicine and sport psychology professionals to provide athletes with information to normalize their emotional responses during recovery.
大学生运动员运动相关脑震荡中焦虑、愤怒和冲动之间关系的初步证据
本研究采用探索性混合方法序列设计来检查运动相关脑震荡(SRC)后的愤怒、冲动和焦虑。10名大学生运动员(M = 20.10岁,SD = 2.92)在脑震荡后1 - 10天(访问1)和11-20天(访问2)完成了四项测量。在恢复比赛或脑震荡后30天,运动员完成了半结构化访谈(随访),以评估他们脑震荡后遗症的生活经历。所有的参与者都表示在第一次就诊时经历了一定程度的焦虑,其中一半的参与者得分高于可能的临床诊断焦虑的测量阈值。结果发现,第二次就诊时症状和焦虑明显减轻。归纳编码揭示了挫折、易怒、冲动行为和对未知的恐惧是与运动员经历相关的主题。研究结果强调,运动医学和运动心理学专业人士需要为运动员提供信息,使他们在康复期间的情绪反应正常化。
