Abstract | Context: Variables associated with pain catastrophizing and pain beliefs in athletes presenting with musculoskeletal pain and/or sports related injuries are largely unexplored. We aimed to evaluate which anthropometric, sociodemographic, sporting, injury history and care seeking characteristics were associated with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory (PBAPI) scores in athletes. Design: Cross-sectional Methods: 312 athletes (40% females) from different sports and levels completed a questionnaire including demographic information, details regarding sports practice, injury history, healthcare use, PCS and PBAPI. Univariable associations between PCS and PBAPI scores and each variable were assessed using linear regression. Variables with univariable associations where p < 0.05 were entered into multivariable regression models Results: The final multivariable model including gender, recurrent and persistent pain, a history of a severe atraumatic injury and a history of more than five atraumatic injuries explained 14.9 % of the variance in PBAPI scores. Performing a team sport and a history of more than five atraumatic injuries explained 5.1 % of the variance in PCS scores. Conclusions: Gender, sporting and injury history characteristics explained only a small portion of the variance in PCS and PBAPI scores, whereas having received healthcare support and the number of appointments did not. Most of the variance was left unexplained. |
