Background: Athletes’ perceptions toward physiotherapy services have an impact on their general attitude toward these services and their willingness to work together with physiotherapists for rehabilitation. The study investigated athletes’ perspectives of physiotherapy services in sports injury management. Methods: A mixed-study design of a cross-sectional survey that involved 178 conveniently sampled athletes and an explanatory qualitative study (8 purposively-selected athletes) was used. The authors assessed the participants’ knowledge and perception of physiotherapy services using the modified versions of the Athletes’ Level of Knowledge Questionnaire, Matsuno Athletes Perception Scale, and focus group discussion. The data were analyzed using chi-square, Spearman correlation at P ≤ .05, and deductive reasoning thematic analysis. Results: The age of the participants for the cross-sectional survey (131 men and 47 women) was 22.50 (7.51) years. Our results showed that the majority (91.6%) of them had adequate knowledge and (78.7%) positive perception about the role physiotherapists play in sports injury management. The participants’ knowledge of physiotherapy services had a significantly positive correlation with age (ρ = .12; P = .01), sporting years (ρ = .17; P = .02), and duration in sports council (ρ = .19; P = .01), while their perception showed a negative correlation with age (ρ = −.15; P = .05), sporting years (ρ = −.16; P = .03), and duration in sports council (ρ = −.08; P = .02). However, no significant correlation existed between the participants’ knowledge; perception and level of education; level of competition; type of sport; and type, nature, and severity of sport injury. Seven themes were generated from the focus group discussion. Conclusion: The participants reported adequate knowledge and a positive perception of physiotherapy services. The correlates of participants’ knowledge and perception of physiotherapy services are age, sporting years, and duration in the sports council. From the qualitative component of the study, the authors identified the need to provide more physiotherapy services to athletes and more facilities for physiotherapy services.

Objectives. To examine characteristics and experiences associated with gun ownership among parents of pediatric patients who attend urban pediatric clinics and to determine the receptivity of these parents to firearm injury prevention counseling. Design. A focus group discussion was followed by a cross-sectional survey. Setting. Four public pediatric clinics in a large metropolitan area were included. Participants. A focus group discussion was held with parents and was used to develop the questionnaire, which was then distributed over a 6-week period to parents accompanying children to the clinic. The anonymous, self-administered questionnaire was completed by 510 parents or guardians, with an 88% response rate. Results. Twenty percent of respondents reported that they had a firearm in the home. Twenty-seven percent of respondents had experienced having a family member shot. Eighty-two percent of all respondents indicated that they would find information about the safest way to store a gun helpful or very helpful. Of all respondents, 47% would follow and an additional 37% would think over a provider's advice not to keep guns in the home. Gun owners were less inclined to report that they would follow this advice (19%), but 55% of the gun owners would think over this advice. Only 6% of all respondents reported that they would ignore or be offended by such advice. Conclusions. Children attending public urban pediatric clinics are exposed to guns in their homes, and their parents appear to be receptive to firearm injury prevention counseling from their child's health care providers.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the competition anxiety and self-esteem among male volleyball players. Cross sectional study design, followed by qualitative investigation, was used in the current study. The participants in this study were 20 male volleyball players from the urban areas of the Province of Sindh Public Boys College. Both volleyball players at college and provincial level participated in the volleyball game. The player was between 16 and 20 years of age. Two questionnaires were used in the current study: (1) the Sports Performance Anxiety Test was used to consider performance anxiety and (2) the self-esteem of Rosenberg was used to describe self-esteem and (3) the focus group discussion. The results of the current study showed fluctuation in self-esteem level and anxiety level among players of different age groups regarding participation in volleyball competition. In Focus group discussion, regarding low self-esteem and higher competition anxiety, participants are of the view that low self-esteem and increase in anxiety undoubtedly have a greater negative effect on the team's psychology. Negative attitudes towards oneself, people's evaluation or opinion, fear of failure, risk of competitive climate, fear of adversary, low level of efforts, nervousness, negative feedback, rejection, criticism, nervousness, coach, team mates and high expectations of the audience are the factors that can contribute to low self-esteem and high anxiety. The study proposed some recommendations for future researchers.
