Translating injury prevention research into practice has been challenging, which may be due to a poor understanding of the contextual factors influencing the occurrence of injury. Coaches are key figure in sporting environments and hold pivotal roles in preventing injury. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes of field hockey coaches to injury and injury prevention. Thirteen field hockey coaches from the amateur Irish Hockey League were interviewed. Reflexive thematic analysis led to three general dimensions comprised five higher-order themes, categorised from 16 lower-order themes. Coaches had positive beliefs regarding the benefits of injury prevention over injury management. However, they lacked the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully implement injury prevention strategies with players. Coaches recognised the importance of empowering players to self-manage training loads to promote injury prevention but acknowledged the need to protect younger players from increased loads. Many barriers to injury prevention were not controllable by coaches including fixture congestion and poor structuring of the sport’s domestic calendar. While coaches can play a key role in the implementation of injury prevention strategies, there is also a requirement to examine how system level barriers to injury prevention can be reduced.

教练对伤害和伤害预防的态度：对爱尔兰曲棍球教练的定性研究

将伤害预防研究转化为实践一直具有挑战性，这可能是由于对影响伤害发生的背景因素的理解不足。教练是运动环境中的关键人物，在防止受伤方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。因此，本研究的目的是调查曲棍球教练对伤害和伤害预防的态度。来自业余爱尔兰曲棍球联盟的 13 名曲棍球教练接受了采访。反思性主题分析导致三个一般维度包括五个高阶主题，从 16 个低阶主题中分类。教练对伤害预防比伤害管理的好处有积极的信念。然而，他们缺乏必要的知识和技能来成功地与球员一起实施伤病预防策略。教练们认识到赋予球员自我管理训练负荷以促进伤害预防的重要性，但承认需要保护年轻球员免受增加的负荷。教练无法控制伤害预防的许多障碍，包括赛程拥堵和国内运动日程安排不佳。虽然教练可以在伤害预防策略的实施中发挥关键作用，但还需要研究如何减少系统层面的伤害预防障碍。没有可用数据。教练无法控制伤害预防的许多障碍，包括赛程拥堵和国内运动日程安排不佳。虽然教练可以在伤害预防策略的实施中发挥关键作用，但还需要研究如何减少系统层面的伤害预防障碍。没有可用数据。教练无法控制伤害预防的许多障碍，包括赛程拥堵和国内运动日程安排不佳。虽然教练可以在伤害预防策略的实施中发挥关键作用，但还需要研究如何减少系统层面的伤害预防障碍。没有可用数据。
