The aim of this research was to investigate the causes of the emergence of sports injuries and to explain the differences in psychological response with regard to the severity of the injury. We ...examined 68 competing Slovene athletes with surgically treated knee injury. The estimated time of rehabilitation of the more severely injured athletes was six months, while those who sustained less severe injuries faced a monthlong rehabilitation. We measured the athletes’ personality traits, their athletic identity, coping with pain, rehabilitation beliefs, motivation and social support provided by their family and their coach as well as their colleagues. The results showed that the group of more severely injured athletes demonstrated behaviour that is less inhibited in response than the group of athletes with less severe injuries. The psychological response proved to be almost the same in both groups, except for the higher levels of catastrophizing, and a higher individual coping response found in the group of more severely injured athletes. Furthermore, masculinity was found to predict self-efficacy and the individual coping response, the strength of athletic identity predicted motivation and rehabilitation value, while emotional lability predicted catastrophizing and self-efficacy. Athletes with lower athletic identity, lower masculinity and higher emotional lability are more exposed to adjustment difficulties after sustaining an athletic injury. In our opinion, the strategies for successful rehabilitation after a sports injury should be aimed at the identification of athletes with personality traits that pose a higher risk of experiencing adjustment difficulties, at promoting adequate motivation, increasing coach support and at the application of cognitive-behavioural strategies.

Key words: knee injury, personality, coping, motivation, social support Cilj je ovog istrazivanja bio utvrditi uzroke nastajanja sportskih ozljeda te objasniti razlike u psiholoskom odgovoru na ozljede razlicite tezine. Istrazili smo 68 slovenskih natjecatelja koji su bili podvrgnuti kirurskoj operaciji koljena. Procijenjeno vrijeme rehabilitacije za teze ozlijedene sportase iznosilo je sest mjeseci, dok je za one ispitanike s manje teskim ozljedama ono iznosilo jedan mjesec. Mjerili smo sportaseve osobine licnosti, njihov sportski identitet, sposobnost suocavanja s boli, povjerenje u rehabilitacijski proces te motivacijsku i sociolosku potporu koju su sportasi dobivali od svoje obitelji, trenera i kolega. Rezultati su pokazali da je grupa ispitanika koja je bila teze ozlijedena pokazala oblik ponasanja koji je manje inhibirao reakciju na ozljedu no sto je to slucaj s grupom ispitanika koji su bili lakse ozlijedeni. Psiholoski odgovor bio je gotovo isti u obje grupe, s iznimkom vece razine katastrofiziranja i individualnog suocavanja u grupi ispitanika koji su bili teze ozlijedeni. Nadalje, pokazalo se da razina muskosti objasnjava samoucinkovitost i razinu individualnog suocavanja, snaga sportskog identiteta predvida motivaciju i rehabilitacijsku vrijednost, dok je emocionalna nestabilnost predvidala razinu katastrofiziranja i samoucinkovitosti. Sportasi s nizom razinom sportskog identiteta, muskosti i vecom razinom emotivne nestabilnosti bili su vise izlozeni poteskocama u prilagodbi nakon ozljedivanja. Prema nasem misljenju, strategije za uspjesnu rehabilitaciju nakon sportske ozljede trebale bi biti usmjerene na identifikaciju sportasa s osobinama licnosti koje predstavljaju veci rizik za dozivljavanje poteskoca u prilagodbi na trenutacno stanje, zatim na poticanje odgovarajuce motivacije, povecavanje potpore trenera te primjenu kognitivno-bihevioralnih strategija. Kljucne rijeci: operacija koljena, licnost, suocavanje, motivacija, socioloska potpora

Izhodišča. Večina raziskav s področja športnih poškodb se nanaša na specifične značilnosti, ki sprožijo, napovedujejo ali preprečujejo športne poškodbe. Raziskava preučuje možnost napovedovanja ...uspešnosti rehabilitacije na osnovi psiholoških značilnosti poškodovanih športnikov, in sicer spoprijemanja z bolečino, vedenja v procesu rehabilitacije (SIRBS), motivacije za rehabilitacijo, tesnobe kot stanja in socialne opore. Metode. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 68 športnikov po operaciji kolena zaradi resne poškodbe, definirane na osnovi izbranega sistema (1). Rehabilitacijski proces je trajal en mesec ali šest mesecev. Udeleženci so bili psihološko obravnavani pred procesom rehabilitacije in po njem. Rezultati. Rezultati so pokazali, da je uspešnost rehabilitacije večja, če se zmanjša anksioznost in poveča dojemljivost ter zaznata samoučinkovitost in katastrofiziranje. Le za 10 % športnikov lahko rečemo, da je bila pri njih rehabilitacija uspešna. Zaključki. Na osnovi raziskave lahko rečemo, da se konstruktivna vedenja, povezana z rehabilitacijo, povezujejo s psihološko rehabilitacijo poškodovanih športnikov.
Objective. The majority of the literature regarding sports injuries is concentrated on specific characteristics related to sports injuries and injuries at sport activities at all. We strove to ...establish whether the success of the rehabilitation process can be predicted based on numerous psychosocial variables. Methods. Our sample comprised of 68 competing athletes who underwent an operative knee surgery. The rehabilitation process for athletes lasted one or 6 months; all athletes obtained serious injuries by the standards of National Athletic Injury Reporting System (1). The following variables were measured: coping with pain (SIP 15), rehabilitation behaviours (SIRBS), motivation for rehabilitation, anxiety (STAI X1) and social support. A questionnaire that measures the functioning of the knee (2000 IKDC) was taken as an indicator of the rehabilitation success. Participants were tested both prior to and following the process of rehabilitation. Results. Our results showed that the success of psychological rehabilitation could be predicted from changes in certain psychosocial variables (a decrease in anxiety and an increase in susceptibility, self-efficacy and catastrophizing). After the rehabilitation, only 10 % of athletes were able to reach the criteria of a successful physical and psychological rehabilitation. Conclusions. We can conclude that since selected psychological variables were found to have a high loading on psychological rehabilitation there it makes sense to control these variables.

Psihološki odgovor bio je gotovo isti u obje grupe, s iznimkom veće razine katastrofiziranja i individualnog suočavanja u grupi ispitanika koji su bili teže ozlijeđeni. Nadalje, pokazalo se da razina muškosti objašnjava samoučinkovitost i razinu individualnog suočavanja, snaga sportskog identiteta predviđa motivaciju i rehabilitacijsku vrijednost, dok je emocionalna nestabilnost predviđala razinu katastrofiziranja i samoučinkovitosti. Sportaši s nižom razinom sportskog identiteta, muškosti i većom razinom emotivne nestabilnosti bili su više izloženi poteškoćama u prilagodbi nakon ozljeđivanja. Prema našem mišljenju, strategije za uspješnu rehabilitaciju nakon sportske ozljede trebale bi biti usmjerene na identifikaciju sportaša s osobinama ličnosti koje predstavljaju veći rizik za doživljavanje poteškoća u prilagodbi na trenutačno stanje, zatim na poticanje odgovarajuće motivacije, povećavanje potpore trenera te primjenu kognitivno-bihevioralnih strategija.
