简要总结
Pain in physically disabled athletes affects the sporting career directly or indirectly through psychological consequences. Numerous studies address psychological skills in able-bodied athletes and in able-bodied athletes they are scarce.This information is part of a research project aimed at finding resources to help athletes in their pain management.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine how competitive athletes perceive how pain can affect their sporting careers; what techniques and/or strategies athletes use for pain management and how useful these are; to determine the extent to which athletes with disabilities have received support for pain management and to what extent they have found it useful; and to determine the difficulties they often face in managing their pain.The aim of this questionnaire is to find out how pain, resulting from injury, can affect the sporting careers of competitive athletes with physical disabilities and what techniques they use to manage it.

Cross-sectional surveys
时间窗: 5 months
An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed with questions that sought to respond to the specific objectives of this study, taking into consideration the information obtained in the previous qualitative study. The questionnaire consisted of 74 questions, 68 closed multiple-choice and 6 open-ended, organised into six sections: characteristics of the athlete, how pain affects their sporting career, tolerance and acceptance of pain, techniques and strategies for managing pain, social support for pain management and finally difficulties in pain management. A Likert scale from 1 (very infrequently) to 5 (very often) was used.Depending on the interpretation of the questions asked in each section, higher scores mean a better or worse result.
