چکیده

هدف: هدف پژوهش حاضر تعیین برازش مدل ساختاری نقش میانجی­گر فعالیت بدنی و نگرانی در رابطه بین باورهای فراشناختی و عدم تحمل ابهام با اضطراب سلامتی در ورزشکاران بود.
روش‌ها: روش پژوهش توصیفی از نوع همبستگی و جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل تمام دانشجویان ورزشکار شهر اراک بود که از میان آنها 320 نفر به روش نمونه‌گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند. ابزار پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه اضطراب سلامت سالکوسکیس و همکاران (2002)، پرسشنامه نگرانی ایالت پنسیلوانیا ساخته مایر و همکاران (1990)، پرسشنامه فراشناخت-30 ولز و کارترایت هاتون (2004)، مقیاس تحمل ابهام مک­لین (2009) بود. جهت تحلیل داده­ها از روش مدلیابی معادلات ساختاری استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد ضریب مسیر غیرمستقیم بین باورهای فراشناختی و عدم تحمل ابهام با اضطراب سلامتی با نقش میانجی فعالیت بدنی و نگرانی مثبت و در سطح 01/0 معنادار بود.
نتیجه گیری: طراحی مداخلات روان‌شناختی و تمرینی که هم‌زمان بر بهبود تنظیم نگرانی و ارتقای سبک زندگی فعال تمرکز کنند، می‌تواند به ارتقای سلامت روانی ورزشکاران کمک کند.

چکیده [English]

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the fit of a structural model examining the mediating role of physical activity and worry in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and intolerance of uncertainty with health anxiety in athletes.
Methods: This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all student-athletes in the city of Arak. A sample of 320 participants was selected using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using the Health Anxiety Questionnaire (Salkovskis et al., 2002), the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (Meyer et al., 1990), the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (Wells & Cartwright-Hatton, 2004), and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (McLeod et al., 2009). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Results: The findings indicated that the indirect path coefficients between metacognitive beliefs and health anxiety, as well as between intolerance of uncertainty and health anxiety, through the mediators of physical activity and worry, were positive and statistically significant (P< 0.01).
Conclusion: Designing psychological and training interventions that simultaneously target worry regulation and the promotion of an active lifestyle may contribute to improving athletes’ mental health.
