Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors influencing on psychosocial distress and adaptation of military life due to soldiers’ sports injury.
Methods: The descriptive study was conducted with a convenient sample of 371 soldiers in 4 military units located in G, K, Y city. Data was collected from April 27 to May 11, 2011 and analyzed t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression using SPSS Win 17.0.
Results: Sports injury has no effects on psychosocial distress and adaptation of the military life. Significant factors of psychosocial well-being were subjective health status, military rank that explained 28% (F=28.6, p<.001). Psychosocial distress and subjective health status were that explained 40% (F=40.7, p<.001) of adaptation of the military life.
Conclusion: Prevention program against sports injury is important for noncombat loss. Therefore, we need to provide warm-up and cool-down exercise protocol before and after sports activity in addition to prevention education in military life. To address the potential for prevention, the information on injury mechanism must be considered and also considers how internal and external risk factors can modify injury risk.
