Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model

2020

Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…

Psychosocial impact of career-ending injuries in professional ice hockey players : a qualitative study

2014

Injuries are a regular occurrence amongst athletes, and on occasion so severe as to impact the continuation an athlete’s career. Retirement from sport, in any circumstances can be a difficult transition for an athlete, particularly when participation in sport has formed a significant part of their identity, personality, and life as a whole.

An Economic Assessment of Micro-Scale Use of Renewable Energy Sources: Two Case Studies

2015

During recent times, renewable energy technologies have shown a relative fast growth in the global energy investment, global energy capacity and their integration within multiple sectors, particularly in the electricity sector. Renewable energy technologies have also experienced notorious declining costs on their manufacturing production. Nevertheless, while this growth is widely acknowledged, the share of renewables with respect total energy production has been moderate. Technological advancements in renewable energy have demonstrated the potential of renewables in energy generation and also that renewables can provide direct and indirect advantages over their counterparts. This thesis inv…
