Data for Scottish Academy Rugby Players' lived experiences of career-related traumatic injuries and injury rehabilitation: an interpretative phenomenological analysis

Data were collected as part of a Masters by Research project 'Scottish Academy Rugby Players' lived experiences of career-related traumatic injuries and injury rehabilitation: an interpretative phenomenological analysis'.

The aim of the study was to discuss the lived experiences of a cohort of traumatically injured ex-Scottish Rugby academy rugby players in order to understand the support athletes received at the time of their injuries and throughout their rehabilitation periods. Data collection took part in two stages and involved collection of both quantitative data, gathered via 208 survey responses, and qualitative data, gathered via 6 semi-structured interviews. Details of the research design and methodology are provided in the linked thesis. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used as the chosen qualitative lens to examine data through, underpin the discussion, and develop conclusions and recommendations for future research.

The data cannot be shared as an open dataset but access may be granted to bona fide researchers under specific conditions. Researchers can use the Contact email to request access.
