Perceived social support during a rehabilitation process : A qualitative research study on team athletes' experiences of a prolonged knee injury (English)
Abstract [sv]

Under en rehabiliteringsprocess kan idrottare stöta på fysiska och psykologiska utmaningar som kan ha en negativ påverkan på välmåendet. Sociala stöd har genom tidigare studier påvisats underlätta en rehabilitering för idrottare då det kan reducera en upplevd stress som uppstår i samband med en skada. Syftet med studien var att ur ett psykologiskt perspektiv studera lagidrottares upplevelser av en rehabiliteringsprocess, med fokus på socialt stöd. Åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med lagidrottare som alla genomgått en rehabiliteringsprocess för en svår knäskada. I resultatet framkom det att intervjupersonerna upplevde att olika former av socialt stöd underlättade den psykologiska påfrestning som rehabiliteringsprocessen satte. Intervjupersonerna upplevde att det sociala stödet från lagkamraterna genererade en känsla av tillhörighet till laget och gav positiva effekter i en upplevd motivation till att upprätthålla rehabiliteringsplanen. Det sociala stödet som en idrottare upplever under en rehabiliteringsprocess kan även generera en känsla av stress som påverkas av individens tolkningar av situationen. Resultaten från studien såg att en rehabilitering kan påverkas av vem som ger det sociala stödet samt formen och kan ha olika effekter på lagidrottares rehabiliteringsresultat. Slutsatsen utifrån studiens resultat var att en lagidrottare har under en rehabiliteringsprocess tillgång till olika former av sociala stöd och effekterna av vem som ger stödet kan variera utifrån situationen samt lagidrottares tolkning av situationen.

Abstract [en]

During a rehabilitation process, athletes can face physical and psychological challenges that can have a negative impact on their well-being. Social support has been shown through previous studies to facilitate rehabilitation for athletes as it can reduce a psychological strain in perceived stress that the injury and the situation may cause. The purpose of the study was to examine, from a psychological perspective, team athletes' experiences of a rehabilitation process, with a focus on social support. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with team athletes who had all undergone a rehabilitation process for a severe knee injury. The results discovered that the interviewees used various forms of social support and facilitated the psychological strain that a rehabilitation process puts. The interviewees experienced that the social support from the teammates generated a sensation of belonging to the team and had a positive effect on the motivation to maintain the rehabilitation plan. The social support that an athlete experiences during a rehabilitation process can also generate a feeling of stress that is affected based on how the individual interprets the situation. The results of the study found that a rehabilitation can be affected by the one who gives the social support and its form and can have different effects on the team athletes' result of the rehabilitation. The conclusion based on the results of the study was that a team athlete has during a rehabilitation process access to different social support and effects of who provides the support can be based on the situation and team athletes' interpretation of the situation.
