Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical sport psychology is a rapidly growing field that brings together research and clinical interventions from both clinical psychology and sport and performance psychology. Complementary to sports medicine and clinical sport psychiatry, clinical sport psychology addresses the mental health needs and psychological well-being of athletes, coaches, and other members of the sport community. It offers scientifically informed conceptualizations of psychological distress as it manifests in sport settings, as well as empirically supported clinical interventions tailored to the needs of sport populations. This volume addresses the latest research findings regarding mental health among athletes and other sport professionals, including epidemiological research concerning depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and conduct and interpersonal problems. In addition, it explores the unique etiology of mental health problems among athletes, including psychological sequelae of injury and trauma, as well as concise practice guidelines for conceptualizing and treating psychological distress in sport populations. Strategies for thorough yet efficient psychological assessment of athletes, coaches, and other sport professionals are also provided. A compendium of relevant empirical research and clinical best practices for assessment and treatment, this handbook charts the course that clinical sport psychology has taken since its inception as a distinct clinical specialty and highlights future directions for this rapidly growing practice domain. It offers essential reading for psychologists and other mental health professionals who provide clinical services in sport and performance settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the topic of "academic success" has gained enormous importance in both higher education policy and the sciences. The 4th volume of the series 'University Sports: Education and Science' takes up this development from a sports science perspective and examines possible connections between sporting activity and academic success with an interdisciplinary focus. In order to record and expand the scientific knowledge on the relevance of sporting activity in the university setting, scientists from various disciplines present their thoughts, observations and findings on the topic. Based on a broad understanding of the concept of academic success, the significance of sporting activity is analyzed in terms of institutional criteria (e.g. final grade, length of study or dropout) as well as individual factors (e.g. study satisfaction, health skills, social skills, psychosocial health).

Download or read book Sport als Interventionsma nahme written by Diana Bukina and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Gesundheitswissenschaften - Gesundheitspsychologie, Note: 1,4, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart, früher: Berufsakademie Stuttgart (DHBW Stuttgart), Veranstaltung: Psychologischen Grundlagen der Sozialen Arbeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit versteht sich im Wesentlichen als ein Ansatz mithilfe der Analyse diverser themenspezifischer Studien, der Fragestellung, inwiefern sportlicher Ausgleich als Interventionsmaßnahme zur Reduktion von Stress führen kann, nachzugehen. Es erfolgt demgemäß eine Untersuchung des Sports hinsichtlich seiner Wirkung als Möglichkeit der Intervention gegen Stress. Dabei werden zunächst im empirischen Teil bereits existente psychologische Theorien in Bezug auf Stressbewältigung mit dem Schwerpunkt ‚sportlicher Aktivität‘ dargelegt. Ebenfalls werden hier eine Reihe von Studien vorgestellt, welche direkte Korrelationen zwischen Sport und Stress empirisch untersuchen. Dabei geht es unter anderem auch um die Wirksamkeit der Prävention und Intervention hinsichtlich möglicher Folgekrankheiten von Stress. Im darauffolgenden Kapitel steht die Grundlage, auf der diese Arbeit basiert, im Vordergrund. Hier wird die Studie Entwicklung und Evaluierung eines Stressbewältigungsprogramms für Studierende im Hochschulsetting von Seidl et al. Vorgestellt. Die im empirischen Teil geschaffene theoretische Basis legt den Grundstein, um schließlich in der Diskussion, dem letzten inhaltlichen Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit, das Thema zu erörtern. Da besonders seit der gesellschaftlichen Ausbreitung von Zivilisationskrankheiten Interventionen psychologischer Art eine stetig wachsende Bedeutung zugesprochen wird, stellt der letzte Teil durch seine Zusammenführung der zentralen Studie mit dem Interventionsverfahren Sport einen Übergang her, der die Notwendigkeit insbesondere sportlicher Intervention hervorhebt. Dies soll mithilfe eines abrundenden Diskurses mit Beleuchtung der Forschungshypothese der Arbeit gelingen. Ebenfalls wird kritisch mit dem Wert der genutzten Studien umgegangen. Diese werden im Wesentlichen auf ihre Repräsentativität und mögliche operationale Fehler hin geprüft. Auch der Wert der Resultate soll kontrovers diskutiert werden. Das heißt zudem, dass ein Ansatz besteht, die Erkenntnisse dahingehend zu prüfen, ob sich Schlüsse ziehen lassen, die im Optimalfall auch praktisch umsetzbar sind.

Download or read book The Mental Impact of Sports Injury written by Carly D. McKay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is known about the physical strain that athletes’ bodies are subjected to and the dangerous aspects of competition immediately spring to mind. But why do athletes train the way they do, and why do they push the limits? Why do some recover well from injury while others struggle? Despite decades of medical and sport science research, a piece has been missing from this picture. Until recently, the role of psychological factors in risk and rehabilitation has been poorly understood. Thankfully, there is increasing awareness of just how crucial these factors can be for predicting injury, improving recovery, developing prevention strategies, and supporting athletes’ long-term health. Yet, research in this area is still in its infancy and it can be difficult to synthesize an ever-growing body of knowledge into practical injury management approaches. Using analogies from everyday life, The Mental Impact of Sports Injury bridges the gap between academic research and practical settings in an informative, yet easy to follow guide to the psychology of sports injury. Addressing risk, rehabilitation, and prevention, it outlines key considerations for researchers and practitioners across all levels of sport. Alongside the fundamentals of injury psychology, emerging areas of importance are also discussed, including training load monitoring and the technological advances that are shaping modern sport medicine. Targeted examples highlight the challenges of preventing and managing injury in grassroots, elite, and professional contexts, with chapters dedicated to the under-served communities of youth and Para sport athletes. Stepping away from traditional texts, this unique book presents the landmark literature, major concepts, and athlete insights into sports injury psychology from a totally new perspective.

Download or read book Social Networks and Health Inequalities written by Andreas Klärner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book applies insights from the network perspective in health research to explain the reproduction of health inequalities. It discusses the extant literature in this field that strongly correlates differences in social status with health behaviours and outcomes, and add to this literature by providing a coherent theoretical explanation for the causes of these health inequalities. It also shows that much research is needed on the precise factors and the social and socio-psychological mechanisms that are at play in creating and cementing social inequalities in health behaviours. While social support and social relations have received considerable attention within social and behavioural science research on health inequalities, this book considers the whole network of interpersonal relations, structures and influence mechanisms. This is the perspective of the social network analytical approach which has recently gained much attention in health research. The chapters of this book cover state-of-the-art research, open research questions, and perspectives for future research. The book provides network analyses on health inequalities from the perspective of sociology, psychology, and public health and is of interest to a wide range of scholars, students and practitioners trying to understand how health inequalities are reproduced across generations.

Download or read book Human Centered AI at Work Common Ground in Theories and Methods written by Annette Kluge and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research can face artificial intelligence (AI) as an issue of technology development but also as an issue of enacted technology at work. Human-centered design of AI gives emphasis to the expertise and needs of human beings as a starting point of technology development or as an outcome of AI-based work settings. This is an important goal, as expressed, for example, by the international labor organization's call for a "human-centered agenda" for the future of AI and automation collaboration. This Research Topic raises the question of what human-centricity means, i.e. what are the criteria and indicators of human-centered AI and how can they be considered and implemented?
