Examining Pain Anxiety in Young Adult Athletes

Book Description
Injuries from overuse as well as direct trauma are common among athletes. The ability to respond adaptively to pain may be a function of an athlete's pain anxiety - defined as fearful and anxious responses toward pain. Investigating the underlying constructs of pain anxiety may have important implications for both injury prevention and injury recovery in sport. The objectives of the current study were to examine pain anxiety in a cohort of young adult athletes (Phase 1), and to evaluate the predictability of selected biological, psychological, and social variables on pain anxiety scores (Phase 2). In Phase 1, the Pain Anxiety Symptom Scale-20 (PASS) was used to collect pre-season pain anxiety measures in a cohort of 92 university varsity-level athletes. Results from Phase 1 indicated significant differences between PASS sub-scale ratings. That is, the university athletes primarily reported cognitive manifestations of pain anxiety. Females also reported more pain anxiety compared to males. In Phase 2, a follow-up cohort of 84 athletes from varying levels of play completed the PASS and selected measures purported to predict pain anxiety. Results from Phase 2 were produced through analyses of variance, student's t-tests, and linear regression, and athletes were analyzed across pain group: acute pain athletes (APA) and chronic pain athletes (CPA). A unique set of predictor variables resulted for each pain group. Gender was a strong predictor of APAs' pain anxiety, while pain intensity strongly predicted pain anxiety in the CPA. Contact grades predicted pain anxiety in both groups but the direction of the relationship was dependent on pain type. Finally, neither injury nor pain predicted pain anxiety in APA. These results indicate that sources of pain anxiety differ for athletes with acute and chronic pain. Such findings have important implications for pain management in sport. More specifically, interventions for athletes without chronic pain could improve by emphasizing the risks of playing through pain and injury, particularly for males, whereas chronic pain athletes may benefit from interventions that account for the challenges of living with high levels of anxiety.
