Abstract

Although referees who officiate in the amateur football leagues are exposed to various stressors that can negatively affect their mental health (MH), little is known about their MH symptoms. The purpose of the study was to evaluate MH symptoms of referees who officiate in the Turkish amateur football leagues. An online survey was sent to all referees in the Turkish amateur football leagues (n = 4,900) incorporating standardized scales assessing depression, anxiety, and stress. A total of 1,279 referees participated in the study. Female referees reported higher depression (p < .01) and anxiety (p = .02) scores than males. Younger referees (23–27 years) reported higher depression (p = .01) and anxiety (p < .01) scores than older (>38 years) referees. Results showed that symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress scores were associated with marital status (being single), lower incomes, severe sports injury history, and inadequate social support. In light of these results, MH assessments should be undertaken to detect which referees are at greater risk of MH problems and facilitate appropriate and timely MH interventions. Further study is needed to inform MH risk reduction strategies and/or programming.

业余足球协会裁判员心理健康症状的横断面研究
尽管在业余足球联赛中担任裁判的裁判暴露于各种可能对其心理健康产生负面影响的压力源,但对其MH症状知之甚少。本研究的目的是评估土耳其业余足球联赛裁判的MH症状。一份在线调查发给了土耳其业余足球联赛的所有裁判(n = 4900),其中包含了评估抑郁、焦虑和压力的标准化量表。共有1279名裁判参与了这项研究。女性裁判的抑郁程度更高(p 38)。结果显示,抑郁、焦虑和压力得分的症状与婚姻状况(单身)、较低收入、严重运动损伤史和缺乏社会支持有关。根据这些结果,应该进行MH评估,以发现哪些裁判有更高的MH问题风险,并促进适当和及时的MH干预。需要进一步研究,为减少MH风险战略和/或规划提供信息。
