Abstract

Transition from professional sport to nonsport endeavors has implications for postcareer health and well-being of athletes. The purpose of the current study was to examine associations among transition-related psychosocial factors and current mental health outcomes in former National Football League (NFL) players. Participants were former NFL players (n = 1,784; mean age = 52.3 ± 16.3 years) who responded to a questionnaire assessing the nature of their discontinuation from professional football (i.e., any degree of voluntary choice vs. forced discontinuation), prediscontinuation transition planning (yes vs. no), and current symptoms of depression and anxiety. After adjusting for relevant covariates, having an involuntary discontinuation and no transition plan prior to discontinuation were associated with greater depressive and anxiety symptom severity. Autonomy in discontinuation and pretransition planning are important to former NFL football players' mental health. Increasing autonomy in the discontinuation decision and pretransition planning represent psychoeducational intervention targets for this population.

前国家橄榄球联盟球员的过渡相关心理社会因素和心理健康结果:一项为期nfl的研究。

从职业运动到非体育运动的转变对运动员的职业后健康和福祉有影响。本研究的目的是检查前国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)球员的过渡相关心理社会因素与当前心理健康结果之间的关系。参与者为前NFL球员(n = 1,784;平均年龄= 52.3±16.3岁)，他们回答了一份评估他们退出职业足球的性质的问卷(即，任何程度的自愿选择与强迫退出)，退出前的过渡计划(是与否)，以及目前的抑郁和焦虑症状。在调整相关协变量后，非自愿停药和停药前无过渡计划与更大的抑郁和焦虑症状严重程度相关。自主中止和过渡前计划是重要的前NFL橄榄球运动员的心理健康。在终止决策和过渡前计划中增加自主权是这一人群的心理教育干预目标。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
