Sport injury is doubtlessly one of the major events in the athletes’ life, which has different unwilling outcomes for athlete and society. Athletes are dealing with acute and chronic stressors in all their sport life span. The study of the relationship between stress and sport injury and its various aspects seems to be of interest in many studies. Also, among many extrinsic and intrinsic factors, the effect of intrinsic psychological factors on incidence of sport injury has been discussed in some studies. It has been said that some psychological factors show their direct or undirect effect on sport injury vulnerability via stress response in athletes. One of the important psychological elements of stress- sport injury model of Andersen & Williams (1988) is coping resources. It is assumed that coping has an effective role on stress/ injury bond in athletes. Two primary coping styles are approach coping and avoidance coping. Also, four styles of coping are identified that frequently appear in athletes responding to stress. These coping styles are described as problem-focused coping (problem-oriented strategies directed to the environment and self), emotion-focused coping (managing emotional responses to stress and changing the meaning of situations), appraisal-focused coping (appraising or reappraising stressful situations using reframing of situations or logical analysis), and avoidance-focused coping (behavioral and psychological efforts to disengage from the demanding situation).The value of studying an athlete’s coping style improves the ability to predict an athlete’s use of coping strategies in response to stressful events, and to predict coping strategies in response to events of similar stressors in the future. According to documents, this study was done to investigate the effect of psychological coping skills such as “Coping with adversity”, “Coachability”, “peaking under pressure”, “Goal setting/Mental preparation”, “Concentration”, “Freedom from worry”, and “Confidence and achievement motivation” on the relationship between stress and sport injury.

Based on a convenience sampling, a total of 341 male and female injured athletes of varied sport majors and with a mean age of 26.35 participated in this descriptive correlational study. All the sample members had no sport activity for at least one day because of sport injury. The research design was retrospective, so to do this, the “Life Events Survey for Collegiate Athletes” was used to assess stress level, and the “Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28” was used to evaluate coping strategies. Sport injury is defined as any type of injury or physical condition that results from sport participation, which requires medical attention, and prevents participation in sport activities for a period of time. To assess the sport injury characteristics in participants a designed questionnaire was used. The effect of coping skills on life stress/ sport injury relationship was investigated using logistic regression modeling.

Total Coping skill and its two subscales of “Coping with adversity” and “Coachability” did not show any significant effect on stress and injury relationship, but five subscales of “peaking under pressure”, “Goal setting/Mental preparation”, “Concentration”, “Freedom from worry”, and “Confidence and achievement motivation” had a significant moderating effect on this relationship.

It seems that teaching and using appropriate coping methods to promote stress confrontation strategies can lead to better stress management and reduction of sports injuries in athletes. Being able to actively and effectively cope, helps athletes to react to stressors in different conditions. Coaches also need to be aware of useful effects of different state and trait psychological variables to educate athletes, resulting in better performance and decreasing sport injury vulnerability. Since each stressor is proven to be independent of each other, some stressors appear to be more predictive of coping style than others. Being able to give athletes a tool kit of useful coping styles like ability to lessen the worry, to concentrate, to have confidence, being motivated, to perform under pressure, and goal setting can help the athletes to put them into practice immediately and respond to specific stressful situation, and return to optimum performance. In total, applied results of psychological surveys will effectively reduce the individual and social side effects of sport injury.

The present study aimed to investigate sport achievement in contact and non-contact sports with regards to sport stress coping styles in a sample of Iranian athletes. Mehtods: Method of this descriptive study was correlational and the statistical society included all contact and non-contact athletes in student and national competitive levels. 181 volunteer athletes (81 atheletes of contact sports, 100 atheletes of non-contact sports) in different fields of sport participated in this study. All participants were asked to complete Sport Coping Styles Scale (SCSS) and Sport Achievement Scale (SAS). Analysis of the data was done using correlation coefficient and analysis of regression in SPSS 16. Approach and avoidant coping styles had negative and positive association with sport achievement in both contact and non-contact sports, respectively. Sport achievement was predicted by approach coping style in both contact and non-contact sports. In non-contact sports, however, sport achievement was predicted only by avoidant coping style. On the basis of the results, it can be concluded that sport achievement can be predicted by approach and avoidant coping styles in different ways; in contact sports, the probaility of sport achievement would be reduced by approach coping style, while in non-contact sports, the probability of sport achievement would be increased by avoidant coping style.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between job burnout and sources of stress and coping strategies in the referees of Iran premier league. 103 referees were selected as the sample. Sources of Stress Inventory (Voight, 2009), MBI (Maslach & Jackson, 1996) and WCQ (Billings & Moos, 1981) were used to collect data. Results showed a significant relationship between confrontation, interpersonal conflict and role conflict and job burnout. Interpersonal conflict and role conflict predicted job burnout. Problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping strategies were negatively and significantly correlated with job burnout. These two strategies predicted job burnout. It can be concluded that stress is directly related to job burnout in referees of football premier league and job burnout highly reduces referee's performance. It is recommended that football federation authorities should consider sources of stress and coping strategies to reduce referee's burnout and finally to improve their performance.

Coping style is one of the substantial factors influencing sport achievements in sport competitions. The main aim of the present study was to examine the effect of sport stress coping styles on sources of acute stress and salivary cortisol in wrestlers. With regard to the criteria and variables of this study، 30 out of 270 active national wrestlers participated according to the cut-off point of coping styles questionnaire in two approach and avoidant coping groups. The participants were asked to complete Sources of wrestling acute stress questionnaire and to collect the saliva to measure salivary cortisol levels. Multivariate analysis of variance results indicated that sources of acute stress were significantly higher in approach coping wrestlers than avoidant coping group (P=0. 001). Also، salivary cortisol level was significantly lower in avoidant coping group than the approach coping group (P=0. 012). According to the results، different stress coping styles influenced perceived stress of acute stress and salivary cortisol levels in wrestlers. The findings of this study can be used in instruction of different sport stress coping styles in wrestlers in order to reduce their mental pressure in the competitions.
