“…Previous research involving para-athletes reported the pursuit of sports-related health benefits where the adaptive equipment affords such freedom (eg, horse riding in equestrian) 27 . In contrast to this, research in elite sport has reported suppression of HSBs where disability has been emphasized with the use of assistive/mobility devices 28 …”

Objective The aim of the study is to explore the health-seeking behaviors of athletes with limb deficiency, drawing on the experiences and perception of the sports medicine team and athletes. Design The study used an interpretive hermeneutic phenomenological methodology with a subtle realist paradigmatic view to investigate commonality in unique experiences within reality. Data collection was completed with two focus groups in December 2019 and March 2020. Thirteen participants took part including athletes and sports medicine team members (physiotherapists, doctors, and strength and conditioning coaches) working in parasports. Focus group manuscripts were transcribed verbatim from audio recordings. An inductive, iterative process was used to identify themes and subthemes, with processes in place to establish rigor. Results Two themes and five subthemes emerged in relation to the “internalization and adjustment to social identity” and “the importance and impact of factors, which impact the athlete social identity.” Conclusions Health-seeking behaviors of athletes with limb deficiency were influenced by a unique blend of personal and environmental factors that contribute toward social identity. The sports medicine team require specific awareness of factors that may diminish health-seeking behaviors to deliver a personalized approach and negate consequences.

“…Nonetheless, thematic analysis was justified on the basis that it can thoroughly examine a wide range of interpretations (Braun & Clarke, 2006). This decision is further justified in a wide range of recent literature that uses thematic analysis to explore diverse topics such as media representations of masters athletes (Oghene, McGannon, Schinke, Watson, & Quartiroli, 2015), identity of rugby fans (Hall, et al, 2012) and para-sport experiences (P. de Cruz, Spray, & Smith, 2017).…”

“…Empirical research, which involves an interdisciplinary approach, also gained publication. For instance, acculturation in Canadian indigenous and immigrant athletes (16)(17)(18), career transition in athletes, which is highly connected with the country's sporting systems, demographic and sociological factors (19)(20)(21), sports participation related to gender in a particular cultural context (16,22,23), risk culture of injury (23,24) and exploration of the psychosocial aspect of the sport in a particular culture (25)(26)(27).…”

Cultural sport psychology (CSP) focuses on the interplay between culture and sport, which often discuss marginalised topics or sports practice in a specific population. This article suggests using autoethnography as a means of representing CSP research in the field. This article will explore what autoethnography is, why it is suitable for CSP, guidance on how to conduct autoethnography in the field of sport, exercise, health and related fields, and ethical considerations to be made when writing an autoethnography. Keywords: culture, autoethnography, qualitative, sport and exercise psychology
