Clinicians are recommended to assess athletes during the rehabilitation phase to identify athletes with potentially maladaptive psychological responses to injury. Therefore, the Psychological Readiness of Injured Athlete to Return to Sport (PRIA-RS) questionnaire was developed to assess the athlete's psychological readiness to return to sport. The aim of this study was to adapt the PRIA-RS questionnaire into Turkish and to establish its validity and reliability. Serial approach method will be used while translating the questionnaire into Turkish. In order to evaluate the validity of PRIA-RS, The Re-injury Anxiety Inventory and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale will be applied to the participants.

Psychological Readiness of Injured Athlete to Return to Sport (PRIA-RS)
The PRIA-RS questionnaire provides a comprehensive screening of psychological readiness for return to sport based on athlete-reported confidence, self-perception, insecurity and fear of re-injury at the end of competition. The PRIA-RS questionnaire consists of 10 questions with each question scored on a 5-point Likert scale (50 points total), with a higher score representing a more positive psychological response.
Time frame: Baseline
Re-injury Anxiety Inventory (RAI):
The questionnaire developed by Walker et al. to measure re-injury anxiety is a 4-point Likert-type questionnaire and consists of 28 items in total. The questionnaire consists of two subgroups including re-injury anxiety/concern about rehabilitation and re-injury anxiety/concern about return to sport and training. A higher score represents more re-injury anxiety.
Time frame: Baseline
Tampa kinesiophobia scale (TKS)
It is a 17-question scale developed to measure fear of movement/reinjury. The scale includes parameters of injury/re-injury and fear-avoidance in work-related activities. The scale uses a 4-point Likert scale (Strongly disagree=1, Strongly agree=4). A higher score represents more kinesiophobia.
