Pregled priporočil o duševnem zdravju vrhunskih športnikov : magistrsko delo

Golja, Katja (author), Tušak, Matej (mentor), Hadžić, Vedran (comentor)

Leta 2019 je Mednarodni olimpijski komite izdal smernice o duševnem zdravju vrhunskih športnikov. Simptomi in motnje duševnega zdravja so pogosti pri vrhunskih športnikih in se pri tej populaciji pojavljajo v povezavi s športom ter negativno vplivajo na njihovo zmogljivost in zdravje. Laični in strokovni javnosti pa je velikokrat prikazano prepričanje, da je med vrhunskimi športniki pojavnost omenjenih telesnih in duševnih zdravstvenih stanj nizka. Predstava, da so lahko uspešni športniki le duševno močni posamezniki, ki ne poznajo psihičnih težav, je napačna. Duševnega zdravja po drugi strani ni mogoče ločiti od telesnega (fizičnega), o čemer priča dejstvo, da simptomi in motnje duševnega zdravja povečujejo tveganje za nastanek športnih poškodb in daljšajo čas okrevanja (Langan-Evans idr., 2020). Do sedaj ni bilo celovitega prikaza vseh aspektov simptomov in motenj duševnega zdravja pri vrhunskih športnikih. Razumevanje tudi duševnega zdravja vrhunskih športnikov pa je kritičnega pomena za njihovo celostno obravnavo. Zaradi obsežnosti področja se v nalogi vseh komponent ne lotevamo enako podrobno, temveč se naloga osredotoča na blage duševne motnje, motnje hranjenja in sindrom RED-S ter anksiozne motnje (Inštitut za varovanje zdravja Republike Slovenije [IVZ], 2008). Uporabljena je bila metoda namiznega raziskovanja – pregled in analiza vsebine gradiv. Zbrali in analizirali smo podatke, ki so že na razpolago. Pri pisanju smo si pomagali s tujo in domačo literaturo, ki je vključevala različna znanstvena besedila (monografije, zbornike, članke iz revij in učbenike). Poleg znanstvene literature so vključene tudi lastne izkušnje. Magistrska naloga predstavlja znanstveno–strokovno izhodišče priročniku za kakovostno delo z vrhunskimi športniki, v katerem bo opisan celosten pristop dela, ki je potreben za uspešno in zdravo bio-psiho-socialno funkcioniranje športnika. Prav zato bo naloga namenjena kineziologom, trenerjem in ostalim športnim delavcem, ki delajo z vrhunskimi in rekreativnimi športniki.

• Title: An Overview of Recommendations on Mental Health in Elite Athletes

Abstract

In 2019, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) formulated guidelines on mental health of elite athletes. Symptoms and mental health disorders are common in elite athletes and affect their performance and health. Lay public and experts in the field are often shown that the incidence of these physical and mental health conditions is low among top athletes. The notion that successful athletes can only be mentally strong individuals who are immune to mental health problems is wrong. Mental health cannot be separated from physical health as symptoms and mental health disorders often increase the risk of sports injuries and prolong recovery time (Lagan-Evans et. Al., 2020). Until now there has not been a comprehensive presentation of all aspects of the symptoms and mental health disorders in elite athletes. Understanding mental health of elite athletes is crucial to their holistic treatment. Due to the enormous size of the field, not all aspects of mental health have been addressed in the same detail. Instead, the thesis focuses on mild mental disorders, eating disorders and RED-S syndrome and anxiety disorders (Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia, [IVZ] 2008). The method of desktop research was used along with an overeview and analysis of various materials. Data that is already available was collected and analysed. Foreign and domestic literature was used, including a variety of scientific texts (monographs, proceedings, magazine articles and textbooks). In addition to the scientific literature, own experience was also included. This Master's thesis will serve as a scientific-professional starting point for a manual on quality work with elite athletes, which will describe a holistic approach to working with elite athletes in order to enable their successful and healthy bio-psycho-social functioning. That is why the manual will be intended for kinesiologists, coaches and other sports workers who work with top and recreational athletes.
