Abstract

Prevalence of mental health (MH) concerns among young adults is high and continues to increase. As a specific subset of young adults, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes seem to experience these concerns at a similar or greater prevalence rate than their nonathlete, age-matched peers. Yet, how MH affects sport performance has not been robustly studied, and existing studies have not included the diversity of identities present in the collegiate athlete population. Thus, via online survey, this study explored the beliefs of 249 collegiate athletes representing diverse identities and sports regarding how MH affects sport performance. Regardless of demographic variable, 96.4%–100.0% of participants believed that MH affects sport performance. Three themes were identified: (a) collegiate athletes affirm that MH affects sport performance, (b) collegiate athletes’ perceptions of how MH affects sport performance, and (c) collegiate athletes believe that being a collegiate athlete exacerbates their MH concerns. The universality of endorsement and the themes represent novel findings that warrant further exploration of the MH–sport performance connection.

大学生运动员对心理健康与运动成绩关系的认知:一项质性调查
在年轻人中,心理健康问题的流行率很高,而且还在继续增加。作为年轻人的一个特定子集,全国大学体育协会(NCAA)运动员似乎比同龄的非运动员经历这些问题的患病率相似或更高。然而,MH如何影响运动成绩尚未得到强有力的研究,现有的研究没有包括大学运动员群体中存在的身份多样性。因此,本研究通过在线调查,探讨了249名代表不同身份和不同项目的大学生运动员关于MH如何影响运动成绩的信念。不考虑人口统计学变量,96.4%-100.0%的参与者认为MH会影响运动表现。确定了三个主题:(a)大学运动员确认MH影响运动成绩,(b)大学运动员对MH如何影响运动成绩的看法,以及(c)大学运动员认为成为大学运动员会加剧他们对MH的担忧。背书的普遍性和主题代表了新的发现,值得进一步探索mh -运动表现之间的联系。
