ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to provide a systematic scoping review of the research focussing on student-athletes’ mental health (MH). More specifically, we aimed to describe and synthesise: (a) the study and sample characteristics of the dual career (DC) and MH research literature, (b) the types of MH outcomes examined in student-athlete populations, (c) comparisons of student-athletes’ MH in relation to other populations of interest, and (d) the variables associated with student-athletes’ MH. Articles were collected from four databases: SPORTDiscus, PsycInfo, Scopus, and PubMed. In total, 159 studies spanning three decades met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted within the North American collegiate context. The majority (62.5%) examined mental ill-health outcomes (e.g. disordered eating, depression, anxiety), 22.6% examined positive mental health outcomes (e.g. subjective well-being, psychological well-being), and 13.8% combined both perspectives. Most studies using non-student-athlete comparison groups found that student-athletes were at a similar or decreased risk for MH problems, although notable exceptions were identified. Finally, 49 distinct variables were associated with student-athletes’ MH. Most variables related to generic or sport-specific factors, with only a limited number of studies examining DC-specific factors. Findings from our scoping review are critically discussed in view of the existing literature.

学生运动员的心理健康:系统的范围审查

摘要

本研究的目的是对专注于学生运动员心理健康 (MH) 的研究进行系统的范围界定。更具体地说,我们旨在描述和综合:(a)双重职业(DC)和 MH 研究文献的研究和样本特征,(b)在学生运动员群体中检查的 MH 结果类型,(c)比较学生运动员的 MH 与其他感兴趣的人群的关系,以及 (d) 与学生运动员的 MH 相关的变量。文章从四个数据库中收集:SPORTDiscus、PsycInfo、Scopus 和 PubMed。总共有 159 项跨越三个十年的研究符合纳入标准。大多数研究是在北美大学背景下进行的。大多数人(62.5%)检查了精神疾病的结果(例如饮食失调、抑郁、焦虑),22。6% 的人检查了积极的心理健康结果(例如主观幸福感、心理幸福感),13.8% 的人将这两种观点结合起来。大多数使用非学生运动员比较组的研究发现,学生运动员发生 MH 问题的风险相似或降低,尽管发现了明显的例外情况。最后,49 个不同的变量与学生运动员的 MH 相关。大多数变量与通用或运动特定因素有关,只有少数研究检查 DC 特定因素。鉴于现有文献,我们对范围审查的结果进行了批判性讨论。大多数使用非学生运动员比较组的研究发现,学生运动员发生 MH 问题的风险相似或降低,尽管发现了明显的例外情况。最后,49 个不同的变量与学生运动员的 MH 相关。大多数变量与通用或运动特定因素有关,只有少数研究检查 DC 特定因素。鉴于现有文献,我们对范围审查的结果进行了批判性讨论。大多数使用非学生运动员比较组的研究发现,学生运动员发生 MH 问题的风险相似或降低,尽管发现了明显的例外情况。最后,49 个不同的变量与学生运动员的 MH 相关。大多数变量与通用或运动特定因素有关,只有少数研究检查 DC 特定因素。鉴于现有文献,我们对范围审查的结果进行了批判性讨论。
