Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of Persian version of Re-Injury Anxiety inventory in injured athletes. The original form of inventory included 28 questions and two subscales that included: re-injury anxiety regarding rehabilitation and re-injury anxiety regarding returning to competition. For this purpose, 300 questionnaires were completed by 17-39 years-old athletes (%32.4 woman and %68.6 man) who took part in different fields of sport. After applying the translation-back translation technique, face validity were confirmed by 7 experts. For determining the construct validity, the confirmatory factor analysis based on structural equations was used. The scale reliability was calculated by using of the Choronbach's alpha method. Also, to examine temporal reliability, test–retest method was used. The result showed that Persian version of Re-Injury Anxiety inventory provided support structure of original form and validity and reliability were confirmed. In conclusion, Persian version of Re-Injury Anxiety inventory can be recommended to measure athlete's re-injury anxiety.
