Abstract

A large proportion of jockeys report symptoms associated with mental health difficulties (MHDs), yet most do not seek help from professional mental health support services. Due to the paucity of literature in this field, this study sought to explore jockeys’ barriers to, and facilitators of, help-seeking for MHDs. Twelve jockeys participated in semistructured interviews, subsequently analyzed via reflexive thematic analysis. Barriers to help-seeking included the negative perceptions of others (stigma and career implications), cultural norms (masculinity and self-reliance), and low mental health literacy (not knowing where to seek help, minimization of MHDs, negative perceptions of treatment, and recognizing symptoms). Facilitators to help-seeking included education (exposure to psychological support at a younger age), social support (from professionals, jockeys, family, and friends), and media campaigns (high-profile disclosures from jockeys). Findings are consistent with barrier and facilitator studies among general and athletic populations. Applied recommendations and future research considerations are presented throughout the manuscript.

在爱尔兰的专业骑师中寻求心理健康困难的障碍和促进因素
很大比例的骑师报告与精神健康困难(MHDs)有关的症状,但大多数人不寻求专业精神健康支持服务的帮助。由于这一领域的文献缺乏,本研究试图探讨骑师对mhd寻求帮助的障碍和促进因素。12位骑师参加了半结构化访谈,随后通过反身性主题分析进行了分析。寻求帮助的障碍包括对他人的负面看法(耻辱感和职业影响)、文化规范(男子气概和自力更生)和低心理健康素养(不知道去哪里寻求帮助、将MHDs最小化、对治疗的负面看法以及认识到症状)。寻求帮助的促进因素包括教育(在年轻时接触心理支持),社会支持(来自专业人士,骑师,家人和朋友)和媒体宣传(骑师高调披露)。研究结果与在普通人群和运动人群中进行的障碍和促进研究一致。应用的建议和未来的研究考虑提出了整个手稿。
