The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of injury-related patient education on the pain perception and mood states of recreational athletes. Participants were recruited from a sports medicine clinic and included recreational athletes over the age of 18 who suffered a musculoskeletal injury. A repeated measures design was used to examine participants pain perception and mood state at two separate occasions during the physician consultation. Both the control and experimental group participants completed the pain perception and mood state assessments prior to the physician consultation. The control group completed the second assessment after the physical exam but prior to the patient education. The experimental group completed the second assessment after both the physical exam and the patient education. MANOVA was used to determine the effects of patient education on pain perception and mood states. Results demonstrated a main effect for time among all participants (F(4,35) = 5.18, p = .002); however, patient education did not have a significant effect of pain perception and mood states between the control and experimental group (F(4,35) = 1.17, p = .340). Three possible explanations for these results include: (a) patient education does not have an effect on pain perception or mood state during the beginning phases of rehabilitation; (b) cognitive appraisal, which was not assessed in this study, plays a role in the effect of patient education on pain perception and mood state; or (c) simply meeting with a medical professional may have a more profound effect on the psychological aspects of injury than simply the informational content of patient education.
