Abstract

Studies conducted in various countries have demonstrated that childhood interpersonal violence (IV), encompassing psychological, physical, sexual violence, and neglect, is a widespread issue in high-performance sports. However, research in this area has largely focused on countries in the Global North, and no prevalence studies have been conducted within Brazilian sport. This study examined the prevalence of childhood IV among high-performance athletes in Brazil, explored gender differences, and identified associated risk factors. A total of 857 high-performance Brazilian athletes completed the survey about their experiences in sport before the age of 18. The sample included 563 women, 290 men, and 4 individuals who either did not disclose their gender or identified as non-binary, fluid, or queer. The findings indicate that childhood IV is a widespread issue, with 93% of athletes reporting having experienced at least one form of IV. Psychological violence and neglect were most common (91%), followed by sexual violence at 63% and physical violence at 55%. The study also showed that having a professional sports contract after the age of 18 and practicing a team sport were associated risk factors for physical violence. Moreover, athletes with a professional contract were more likely to experience psychological violence in the context of their sport. Finally, practicing a para-sport was associated with a lower risk of reporting psychological violence. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted safeguarding measures and evidence-informed policies to prevent childhood IV in Brazilian sport.
巴西高水平运动员人际暴力的自我报告经历。
在不同国家进行的研究表明,儿童人际暴力(IV),包括心理、身体、性暴力和忽视,是高性能运动中普遍存在的问题。然而,这一领域的研究主要集中在全球北方国家,没有在巴西体育界进行过流行率研究。本研究调查了巴西高水平运动员儿童期IV的患病率,探讨了性别差异,并确定了相关的危险因素。共有857名表现优异的巴西运动员完成了关于他们18岁之前体育经历的调查。样本包括563名女性、290名男性和4名没有透露性别或被认定为非二元、流动或酷儿的人。研究结果表明,儿童时期静脉注射是一个普遍存在的问题,93%的运动员报告至少经历过一种形式的静脉注射。心理暴力和忽视是最常见的(91%),其次是性暴力(63%)和身体暴力(55%)。该研究还表明,18岁以后签订职业体育合同和参加团队运动是发生身体暴力的相关风险因素。此外,有职业合同的运动员更有可能在他们的运动背景下经历心理暴力。最后,练习一项辅助运动与报告心理暴力的风险较低有关。这些发现强调了迫切需要有针对性的保护措施和循证政策,以防止巴西体育中的儿童IV。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
