Abstract

Objective: To determine if a resilience training program improved knowledge of and intention to use adaptive coping strategies among college student-athletes; and explore college student-athletes’ experiences and satisfaction with program components. Participants: Division I college student-athletes. Methods: Pretest-posttest design with surveys completed at baseline and immediately post-program. Results: A total of 79 participants were included (n = 43 [54.4%] females; n = 36 [45.6%] males; M_age = 20.94, [SD = 1.05]). Overall intention to use adaptive coping strategies significantly increased from baseline (M = 29.05, SD = 4.50) to post-program (M = 32.38, SD = 5.62) (p = 0.0004), as did intentions to use the coping strategies seeking social support (p = 0.0037) and self-controlling (p = 0.0007). We found no statistically significant differences in knowledge scores from baseline to post-program. Conclusions: Resilience training may increase college student-athletes’ likelihood of using adaptive coping strategies to manage academic and sport-related stressors.

摘要

目的：确定弹性训练计划是否提高了大学生运动员对适应性应对策略的认识和使用意愿；探索大学生运动员对项目组成部分的体验和满意度。参加对象：我司大学生运动员。方法：前测后测设计，调查在基线时完成并在项目后立即完成。结果：总共包括 79 名参与者（n  = 43 [54.4%] 女性；n  = 36 [45.6%] 男性；M_年龄= 20.94，[SD = 1.05]）。使用适应性应对策略的总体意愿较基线显着增加 ( M  = 29.05, SD = 4.50) 到计划后 ( M  = 32.38, SD  = 5.62) ( p =  0.0004)，使用寻求社会支持 ( p  = 0.0037) 和自我控制 ( p  = 0.0007) 的应对策略的意图也是如此。我们发现从基线到项目后的知识分数没有统计学上的显着差异。结论：复原力训练可能会增加大学生运动员使用适应性应对策略来管理学业和运动相关压力源的可能性。
