Study population: The study was conducted on university students participating in various sports branches, especially volleyball, basketball, soccer, swimming, fitness, pilates, walking. A total of 126 volunteer university students who regularly participated in sports were included in the study. Those with a history of chronic disease or regular medication use were excluded from the study, and those who did not complete the survey questions required for the study were excluded from the study. In the power analysis performed to determine the sample size, the type I error was 0.05 and the type II error was 0.2. The power was set at 0.8. Power analysis was performed using the G-Power 3.1.7 package (Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany). The minimum number of subjects to be included in the study in each group was determined as 18 in order to find a mean difference of 3 units significant according to the Sports Injury Anxiety Scale sub-dimension score.

About this study
This study aimed to evaluate the concerns of university students who are involved in sports on more than one subject related to sports injuries (anxiety of losing ability, anxiety of suffering, anxiety of losing social support, etc.). In addition, in this study, the awareness of protection from sports injuries was evaluated in order to minimize sports injuries and create awareness of injury prevention, based on the idea that the athlete will be injured less with less anxiety in sports life.
Read the detailed description
Regardless of the sport branch, athletes are likely to encounter many injury stories during their active sports life. Stories of sports injuries cause anxiety in athletes. Therefore, sports injury prevention awareness is important. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the anxiety about sports injuries and sports injury prevention awareness of university students studying in different faculties and practicing regular sports. Personal Information Form, Sports Injury Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and Sports Injury Prevention Awareness Scale (SIPAS) were used. There was no difference between university students from three different faculties who participated in sports in terms of the total scores of the SIAS and SIPAS (p>0.05). It was determined that there was a significant difference between the students from three faculties in terms of the Anxiety of Losing Ability (ALA) parameter, which is one of the subscales of the SIAS (p<0.05). In pairwise comparisons between the groups, a significant difference was found between the students of health sciences and medical faculties in the subscale of the SIAS-ALA (p=0.001). University students who participated in sports from all three faculties included in the study had normal levels of anxiety about sports injuries and high levels of sports injury awareness. High sports injury awareness of students participating in sports may be an important factor for injury prevention. Low levels of anxiety may also be associated with high levels of awareness.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
assessment of sports injury anxiety among students
Examınatıon of Sports Injury Anxıety Level of Unıversıty Students Partıcıpatıng in Sports. Their thoughts and anxiety levels about sports injury were evaluated with the 'Sports Injury Anxiety Scale', whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Caz et al. (2019). The scale consists of 19 items in total. It consists of sub-dimensions such as loss of ability, suffering, perceived weakness, loss of social support, disappointment, and anxiety of re-injury. A 5-point Likert scale was used in the evaluation. The survey questions were answered as "1=Strongly Disagree" and "5=Strongly Agree". The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 19 and the highest score is 95.
Measured: Day 1 (when students first arrive)
