Abstract

Abstract Coaches’ mental health literacy is associated with increased engagement in prevention and early intervention behaviors. However, few studies have explored the factors that may influence these relationships. The purpose of this study was to explore whether role breadth and role efficacy mediate the relationship between coach depression literacy and prevention and early intervention, and to assess whether gender or stigma moderates any mediation effects. One thousand and forty five coaches (M = 42.71 years old; SD = 11.52; 30% female) completed an online survey exploring depression literacy, personal stigma, role breadth and efficacy and engagement in prevention and early intervention. Path analysis was conducted, followed by mediation and moderated-mediation analyzes. The overarching model for each behavior was confirmed. Role efficacy but not role breadth partially mediated the relationship between depression literacy and each behavior. Gender did not moderate any mediation relationships. Personal stigma moderated the relationship between depression literacy and prevention and early intervention. Coaches with lower levels of personal stigma, reported higher levels of depression literacy and were more confident to engage in prevention and early intervention. Increasing coaches’ knowledge and confidence may lead to increased engagement in prevention and early intervention. However, for coaches with high levels of personal stigma, approaches that go beyond the provision of knowledge may be required. Lay summary: This study explores the relationship between coaches’ knowledge of depression and their engagement in behaviors that support young people’s mental health. It also examines how confident coaches feel to engage in these behaviors and whether the gender or stigmatizing attitudes of coaches might influence these relationships.

体育教练的抑郁素养、参与预防和早期干预行为：一项适度中介分析

摘要教练的心理健康素养与预防和早期干预行为的参与度增加有关。然而，很少有研究探讨可能影响这些关系的因素。本研究的目的是探讨角色广度和角色效能是否介导教练抑郁素养与预防和早期干预之间的关系，并评估性别或污名是否调节任何中介作用。一百四十五节车厢（M = 42.71 岁SD = 11.52；30%的女性）完成了一项在线调查，探讨了抑郁症的识字率、个人耻辱感、角色广度和功效以及参与预防和早期干预的情况。进行了路径分析，然后进行了调解和适度调解分析。每种行为的总体模型都得到了确认。角色效能而非角色广度在一定程度上介导了抑郁素养与每种行为之间的关系。性别并没有缓和任何调解关系。个人耻辱感调节了抑郁症知识与预防和早期干预之间的关系。个人污名程度较低的教练报告说，他们的抑郁症知识水平较高，更有信心参与预防和早期干预。增加教练的知识和信心可能会增加对预防和早期干预的参与。然而，对于个人耻辱感很高的教练来说，可能需要超越知识提供的方法。概述：本研究探讨了教练对抑郁症的认识与他们参与支持年轻人心理健康的行为之间的关系。它还考察了教练对参与这些行为的信心，以及教练的性别或污名化态度是否会影响这些关系。
