Résumé : |
Objectives To establish how sport, and access to an athletic identity, has been used when adjusting to a spinal cord injury. Design Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Setting Private athletic club. Participants Eight (six males and two females) athletes from a wheelchair badminton club participated in the study. The individuals had finished rehabilitation, and were aged between 20 and 50 years. Main outcome measures A single semi-structured interview was undertaken with each participant. Results Following the thematic analysis, two final themes were presented: (1) adjustment and paradox of chronic illness; and (2) the role and value of an athletic identity. Conclusions Badminton provided participants with an opportunity to continue and develop a positive athletic identity. Identity may be used as a factor that can promote recovery, and is considered as a way to encourage and maintain positive long-term adjustment to disability. |
