Self-Efficacy, Imagery Use, and Adherence to Rehabilitation by Injured Athletes

چکیده
Objective: To evaluate the factorial validity of the Athletic Injury Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (AISEQ) and the predictive relationships among self-efficacy, imagery use, and rehabilitation adherence. Design and Setting: Survey administered in an outpatient physiotherapy clinic. Participants: 270 injured athletes. Main Outcome Measures: AISEQ, Athletic Injury Imagery Questionnaire, and an adherence measure. Results: A confirmatory factor analysis of the AISEQ revealed a 2-factor model. Athletes were higher in task efficacy than coping efficacy and used more cognitive and motivational imagery than healing imagery. In addition, athletes rated their frequency and duration of exercise performance higher than their quality of exercise performance. Cognitive imagery significantly predicted task efficacy, task efficacy predicted quality of exercise, and coping efficacy predicted frequency of exercise. Both task and coping efficacy were predictors of duration of exercise. Conclusions: Results support a 2-factor solution of the AISEQ. In addition, task and coping self-efficacy appear to be key aspects in rehabilitation adherence.
