Abstract

Objective

The Netball KNEE Program is an injury prevention program (IPP) developed by Netball Australia. It is promoted to coaches, but implementation is limited. This study explored community netball coaches’ perspectives on factors that influence IPP implementation, and ideas on how it could be improved.

Methods

Twenty-four coaches from 16 netball clubs participated in semi-structured interviews that asked about their beliefs about injury prevention, use of and confidence in delivering IPP, barriers and facilitators to implementation, and suggestions to ease IPP implementation. Interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results

Two themes were identified – Factors that influence IPP implementation (4 sub-themes), and Suggestions to improve IPP implementation (2 sub-themes). Coaches thought early development of injury prevention habits was important. Life roles, coaching experience and engagement with development courses influenced IPP delivery. Coaches expressed concerns about Netball KNEE program length and complexity and lack of implementation support. They suggested the need for a short simple IPP and engagement with health/exercise professionals for implementation.

Conclusions

This study engaged with stakeholders to identify barriers that need to be addressed to improve IPP implementation in netball. Coaches desired a short simple standardised IPP, and training from physiotherapists or exercise professionals on implementation.

教练对影响社区无挡板篮球伤害预防计划实施的因素的看法：定性研究

目标澳大利亚网式篮球膝关节计划是由澳大利亚网式篮球协会制定的一项伤害预防计划（IPP）。该计划已向教练员推广，但实施情况有限。本研究探讨了社区篮球教练对影响 IPP 实施的因素的看法，以及如何改进 IPP 的想法。方法来自 16 个篮球俱乐部的 24 名教练参加了半结构式访谈，访谈内容包括他们对伤害预防的看法、使用 IPP 的情况和实施 IPP 的信心、实施 IPP 的障碍和促进因素，以及促进 IPP 实施的建议。结果确定了两个主题--影响 IPP 实施的因素（4 个子主题）和改进 IPP 实施的建议（2 个子主题）。教练认为早期养成预防受伤的习惯非常重要。生活角色、教练经验和参与发展课程影响了 IPP 的实施。教练们对 Netball KNEE 计划的长度和复杂性以及缺乏实施支持表示担忧。他们建议需要一个简短的 IPP，并与健康/运动专业人士合作实施。教练们希望有一个简短的标准化 IPP，并得到理疗师或运动专业人员的实施培训。
