摘要

作为休闲和体育锻炼的户外游泳在英国是一项发展迅速的活动。然而，户外开放水域游泳对心理健康的感知效应的研究是有限的。考虑到身体活动、休闲和自然沉浸的内在结合，户外游泳作为一种潜在的社会处方活动主动性，以增强心理健康的概念进行了调查。在Ryff（1989）心理健康的六个核心维度的指导下，通过微软团队对英国各地10名经常在海里（n = 5）或淡水中（n = 5）休闲游泳的游泳者进行了采访。访谈探讨了在海里和淡水水体中进行休闲户外游泳对游泳者心理健康的感知影响。访谈数据采用反身性主题分析进行分析。归纳和演绎分析方法的结合使得与PWB的六个维度有关的发现得以确定（演绎分析），以及通过开放编码从数据中得出的新发现（归纳分析）。归纳分析之后确定了两个广泛的主题，动机和实现。户外游泳的动机与社会规定的目标一致，包括休闲、锻炼、独处、陪伴和与自然的联系。研究结果还表明，在户外游泳时，通过冥想、反思和逃避可以调节情绪。它可以通过冷水缓解疼痛，心理健康符合Ryff（1989）概述的六个维度。研究结果说明了户外开放水域游泳对心理健康的潜在好处及其在社会处方议程中的可能效用。

It's in the water: A qualitative exploration of the perceived effects of outdoor open water swimming on swimmers' psychological well-being

Outdoor swimming for both leisure and physical exercise is a fast-growing activity in the United Kingdom. However, research into the perceived effects of outdoor open water swimming on psychological well-being is limited. Considering the inherent combination of physical activity, leisure, and nature immersion, the notion of outdoor swimming as a potential activity in the social prescribing initiative to enhance psychological well-being was investigated. Guided by Ryff's (1989) six core dimensions of psychological well-being, ten swimmers who frequently swim recreationally in the sea (n = 5) or freshwater bodies (n = 5) around the UK were interviewed via Microsoft teams. Interviews explored the perceived influence of recreational outdoor swimming in the sea and in freshwater bodies on swimmers' psychological well-being. Interview data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. A combination of inductive and deductive analytic approaches enabled findings pertaining to the six dimensions of PWB to be identified (deductive analysis), as well as novel findings (inductive analysis) derived from the data through open coding. Two broad themes were identified following inductive analysis, motivation and enablement. Motivation to swim outdoors aligned with social prescribing objectives, including swimming for leisure, exercise, time alone, company, and connection to nature. Findings also indicated the enablement of emotional regulation through meditation, reflection, and escape when outdoor swimming. It enabled pain relief through cold water exposure, and psychological well-being aligned with the six dimensions outlined by Ryff (1989). Findings illustrate the potential benefits of outdoor open water swimming for psychological well-being and its possible utility in the social prescribing agenda.

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
