The Socio-Emotional Questionnaire for Youth Football Players designed by Gómez-Carmona, Cervera, and Benito. This questionnaire evaluates various socio-emotional factors that can influence the performance and well-being of young footballers1.

Another commonly used tool is the Centre of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, which have been used in studies to assess depression and anxiety among top-level football players.

These tools help identify and manage emotional pain and mental health issues, providing valuable insights for coaches, sports psychologists, and medical professionals to support the mental well-being of athletes.

Thank you very much for pointing me toward the questionnaire you suggested, I truly appreciate your help. However, I am specifically looking for a validated questionnaire that focuses on pain management or emotional pain , particularly in football players during the sport rehabilitation process or more generally in injured athletes.

I think it depends on what exactly you want to assess. Considering you said you need to focus on "pain management or emotional pain" you might want to use the subscales of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) frequently used to evaluate the three components of pain: sensory intensity, emotional impact, and cognitive evaluation, Psychic Pain Scale (PPS) used to measure the frequency of negative affective experiences, Psychache Scale (PS) that assesses the intensity of psychological pain, or Psychological Pain Assessment Scale that explores how the subject considers the psychological pain of the main character in five pictures using a scale.

Thanks a lot Luana,

very kinds of you indeed! thanks for sharing name of scales.
