Full text available on request.Abstract
Introduction. When athletes enter a rehabilitation process, they are often expected to perform exercises at home as part of their rehabilitation. Patients’ adherence to home-based rehabilitation is often poor. At home, patients are unsupervised, so it seems essential that they self-regulate their own rehabilitation process. Insight into factors relating to adherence may help improve adherence. Aims. (1) Examining the relationship between metacognitive and motivational aspects of self-regulation and adherence in injured athletes and (2) determining the best predictors of adherence. Method. Patients of Hospital Gelderse Vallei in Ede, the Netherlands (n= 21 (5 male), mage= 39.1 ± 12.2) and injured athletes from the Topsport Talent School in Groningen, The Netherlands (n= 80 (56 male), mage= 14.6 ± 1.5) completed two online questionnaires: the Self-Regulation of Learning – Self-Report Scale and the Home-based Rehabilitation Adherence – Self-Report Scale. Six association models were built using linear regression with adherence as the dependent variable and metacognitive and motivational aspects added separately as the independent variable, corrected for group, age and gender. A prediction model was built using linear regression with backwards selection with adherence as the dependent variable and all metacognitive and motivational aspects, group, age and gender as independent variables. Results/conclusion. All metacognitive and motivational aspects are associated with adherence (= .28-.53, p= .00). The best predicting model includes evaluation (= .28, p= .00) and effort (= .39, p= .00) as predictors for adherence and explains 34% of the variance. This insight can provide input for future interventions to improve rehabilitation processes and outcomes. Keywords: metacognition, motivation, behavior, injured athletes, compliance
