Objectives: To examine sex differences in psychological readiness to return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction as well as to determine whether males and females separately fulfilled cut-off values (≥65) of psychological readiness necessary to return to sport.
Information Sources: Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed were comprehensively searched from inception to January 2024 to identify relevant studies.
Eligibility Criteria: Observational investigations that compared males and females with a history of ACL reconstruction concerning psychological readiness to return to sport.
Risk Of Bias: Studies were rated using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomised Studies.
Included Studies: Only 11 reports fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the quantitative analysis. A total of 2618 participants were subjected to the primary ACL reconstruction, out of 1631 males and 987 females. Psychological readiness to return to sport was evaluated approximately 9±2.9 months following surgery.
Synthesis Of Results: The main findings demonstrated that males had slightly higher psychological readiness to return to the sport than females (standardised mean difference 0.33; 95% CI 0.14 to 0.52; p=0.0007; I=77%) after ACL surgery. In addition, the mean psychological readiness to return to the sport of males was 70.1±8.8 points and of females 65.1±8.8 points, indicating that both sexes exceeded recommendations necessary to return to sport.
Conclusion: Males had slightly higher psychological readiness to return to sport than females approximately 9±2.9 months after ACL reconstruction and both sexes exceeded the highlighted recommendations necessary to return to sport.

Despite effective psychotherapy options for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), some patients do not fully respond, and even among those reporting substantial improvement, residual symptoms following treatment are common. Psychiatric conditions frequently co-occur with PTSD, yet research on residual symptoms among comorbid samples is lacking. This study examined residual symptoms of PTSD and depression among 71 active duty service members with PTSD and comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD).

Introduction: Although there are evidence-based strategies (EBSs) for alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention and treatment for college students, there has been little focus on evaluating AOD EBS implementation in higher education. The use of implementation strategies in higher education may help bridge the gap between research and practice and improve students' access to EBSs. However, it is important to first understand determinants of AOD EBS program implementation to support AOD EBS selection and implementation strategy selection.

Introduction: Acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can be disabling because of prolonged rehabilitation process following surgical reconstructions. Rates of ACL injuries among military service members are close to 10 times greater than the general civilian population, likely because of the operation tempo and the unique physical requirements. Studies debated functional testing requirements for return to sports, but no study investigated the impact of functional training and re-injury rates following ACL reconstruction and their association with functional testing outcomes and time to return to full duty in United States Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipmen.
