| Abstract: |
This study undertook a preliminary examination of the influence of sport injury-related growth (SIRG) upon the relationship between perceived impact of injury, level of self-efficacy and psychological wellbeing upon return to sport following injury. One hundred and twenty participants (61 male, 59 female, M(age) = 29) who had been absent from sport for at least four weeks due to injury within the last two years completed measures of subjective distress, stress-related growth, return to sport efficacy and psychological wellbeing. Preacher and Hayes's (2008) mediation analysis indicated sport injury-related growth did not mediate the relationship between the subjective distress caused by injury and self-efficacy upon return to sport. Sport injury-related growth did mediate the relationship between the subjective distress and psychological wellbeing. These findings indicate that sport injury-related growth can aid an individual to achieve increased psychological wellbeing in the return to sport following injury. Future research should seek to explore in-depth the potential mechanisms underpinning the impact of SIRG upon an individual's cognitive-affective state, and consider the measurement of the construct in relation to assessing growth explicitly related to trauma from sport injury.
