Abstract
Objective: To determine whether athletes’ perceptions of social support from their
certified athletic trainers (ATCs) were related to their beliefs about the rehabilitation
process. Design: Division I athletes (N = 57) completed a survey including
measures of social support and beliefs about rehabilitation. Participants: Division
I college athletes (35 men, 22 women) who had sustained an injury that caused
them to miss no less than 5 consecutive days. Measurements: The Social Support
Survey (SSS) and the Sports Injury Rehabilitation Beliefs Survey (SIRBS).
Results: Results revealed significant correlations between the SSS and the SIRBS
scales only for athletes who had sustained severe injuries. Multiple-regression
analyses revealed that the SSS scales were significant predictors of each of the
SIRBS scales. Conclusions: Results suggest that when severely injured athletes
perceive that their ATCs provide strong social support, they are more likely to
believe in their rehabilitation programs. Key Words: psychology of injury, psychology
of rehabilitation
