Objectives The primary objective was to examine the attitudes of professional footballers towards help-seeking behaviours related to mental health symptoms and the impact of a mental health awareness video on these help-seeking behaviours. The secondary objective was to evaluate whether the mental health awareness video was feasible in professional football. Methods A quasi-experimental study based on a one-group pretest post-test was conducted using a questionnaire. Attitude, help-seeking behaviours and confidence were measured with validated questionnaires, including the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) and General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ). Results Sixty-five professional footballers (63% men; 37% women) were enrolled in the study. The mean ATSPPH-SF score was 18.1 at pretest and 19.4 at post-test (p=0.00). The mean GHSQ score was 47.6 at pretest and 48.9 at post-test (p=0.00). The level of confidence in helping someone experiencing mental health symptoms was 11.1 at pretest and 11.7 at post-test (p=0.00). All participants rated the mental health awareness video as relevant; 88% mentioned that it added value to raise awareness about mental health symptoms and disorders in professional football. Eighty-three per cent rated the design positively, 69% were positive about the duration of the video and 88% of participants reported an increase in their knowledge and understanding of mental health symptoms and disorders in professional football. Conclusion The mental health awareness video led to a better attitude of professional footballers towards mental health. We recommend the mental health awareness video be implemented in professional football to disseminate essential information related to mental health symptoms in professional football.

目的主要目的是研究职业足球运动员对与心理健康症状相关的寻求帮助行为的态度，以及心理健康意识视频对这些寻求帮助行为的影响。次要目标是评估心理健康意识视频在职业足球中是否可行。方法采用问卷调查法进行基于一组前测后测的准实验研究。态度，寻求帮助的行为和自信心用经过验证的问卷进行测量，包括“寻求专业心理帮助-短式态度”（ATSPPH-SF）和“一般帮助-问卷”（GHSQ）。结果本研究纳入了65名职业足球运动员（男63％；女37％）。考试前ATSPPH-SF的平均得分为18.1，而平均得分为19。测试后为4（p = 0.00）。测试前的GHSQ平均得分为47.6，测试后为48.9（p = 0.00）。帮助某人出现心理健康症状的信心水平在测试前为11.1，测试后为11.7（p = 0.00）。所有参与者都将心理健康意识视频评为相关视频；88％的人提到它具有增值作用，可以提高人们对职业足球中心理健康症状和精神障碍的认识。83％的人对该设计给予了积极的评价，其中69％的人对视频的持续时间持积极态度，而88％的参与者表示他们对职业足球的心理健康症状和疾病的了解和了解有所增加。结论心理健康意识录像带使职业足球运动员对心理健康的态度更好。我们建议在职业足球中实施心理健康意识视频，以传播与职业足球中心理健康症状相关的基本信息。无可用数据。与研究相关的所有数据都包含在文章中或作为补充信息上载。
