Abstract

The aim of this research was to study the prevalence of nonaccidental violence among elite athletes in Finland, the predisposing factors to violence, and its consequences for mental well-being and ill-being. A total of 2,045 Finnish athletes participated in the study. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the associations. The results indicated that 38.8% had experienced psychological abuse, 14.7% bullying, 13.3% gender-based harassment, and 5.5% sexual harassment. Female and younger athletes reported more violent experiences than male and older athletes. A team’s safe atmosphere and readiness to act protected athletes from nonaccidental violence, whereas the coach did not play a role. Nonaccidental violence, particularly psychological abuse, was associated with reduced mental well-being and increased ill-being. Our results suggest that it is worth investing in the team’s mutual relationships and safe cooperation when ensuring appropriate behavior and preventing nonaccidental violence among athletes.
芬兰优秀运动员中的非意外暴力:与运动条件和心理健康和不健康的关系
本研究的目的是研究芬兰优秀运动员中非意外暴力的普遍性、暴力的诱发因素及其对心理健康和疾病的影响。共有2045名芬兰运动员参加了这项研究。采用Logistic和线性回归分析分析相关性。结果表明,38.8%的大学生遭受过心理虐待,14.7%遭受过欺凌,13.3%遭受过性别骚扰,5.5%遭受过性骚扰。女性和年轻运动员比男性和年长运动员报告了更多的暴力经历。一个团队的安全氛围和行动准备保护运动员免受非意外暴力,而教练没有发挥作用。非意外暴力,特别是心理虐待,与心理健康下降和不健康增加有关。我们的研究结果表明,在确保适当的行为和防止运动员之间的非意外暴力时,值得投资于团队的相互关系和安全合作。
