Scholars within the field of psychology have increasingly reflected on the cost of caring and the quality of life of people in helping professionals. Indeed, the balance between the positive and the challenging aspects of this helping profession has become central in this discourse. In line with these developments, researchers have attempted to better understand Sport Psychology-Professional Quality of Life (SP-PQL). In this manuscript, we present the findings of a Delphi method study in which we aimed to develop an operational definition, conceptualization, and measure of SP-PQL. Specifically, we outline a rigorous, iterative three-stage Delphi process which was undertaken to reach expert panel consensus. In total, 16 participants with over 10 years of experience in sport psychology, completed the three-stage Delphi. This study extends knowledge on quality of life in sport psychology via the development of a bi-dimensional model comprising challenges to and strategies to foster (SP-PQL). Moreover, the Delphi process led to the development of a novel instrument to measure SP-PQL among this professional group. Definitional, conceptual, and measurement advances emanating from this study and future considerations are discussed in relation to professional development, education, and future research.

运动心理学家的职业生活质量：新概念和测量的发展。

心理学领域的学者越来越多地考虑到帮助专业人士的护理成本和人们的生活质量。事实上，这种帮助职业的积极方面和挑战方面之间的平衡已成为本文的核心。根据这些发展，研究人员试图更好地了解运动心理学 - 职业生活质量 (SP-PQL)。在这份手稿中，我们展示了德尔菲方法研究的结果，我们旨在制定 SP-PQL 的操作定义、概念化和度量。具体来说，我们概述了一个严格的、迭代的三阶段 Delphi 过程，该过程旨在达成专家小组的共识。共有 16 名具有 10 年以上运动心理学经验的参与者完成了三个阶段的德尔福。本研究通过开发包含挑战和培养策略 (SP-PQL) 的二维模型，扩展了对运动心理学中生活质量的了解。此外，Delphi 过程导致在该专业群体中开发了一种用于测量 SP-PQL 的新型仪器。与专业发展、教育和未来研究相关的讨论来自本研究的定义、概念和测量进展以及未来的考虑。
