(1) Background: Adolescent refugees in Lebanon and Lebanese youth are both at high risk of suffering from reduced psychological well-being. Sport is an evidence-based strategy for improving mental and physical health, and climbing is a type of sport that may positively impact both. The aim of this study is to test the effect of a manualized, psychosocial group climbing intervention on the well-being, distress, self-efficacy, and social cohesion of adolescents in Lebanon. In addition, the mechanisms behind psychological changes will be investigated. (2) Methods: In this mixed-methods waitlist-controlled study, we are allocating a minimum of 160 participants to an intervention (IG) or a control group (CG). The primary outcome is overall mental well-being (WEMWBS) after the 8-week intervention. Secondary outcomes include distress symptoms (K-6 Distress Scale), self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale; GSE), and social cohesion. Potential mechanisms of change and implementation factors are being investigated through qualitative interviews with a subgroup of 40 IG participants. (3) Conclusions: The results may contribute to knowledge of sports interventions and their effects on psychological well-being and will provide insights regarding low-intensity interventions for supporting adolescent refugees and host populations in conflict-affected settings. The study was prospectively registered at the ISRCTN platform (current-controlled trials). ISRCTN13005983.
(1) 背景：黎巴嫩的青少年难民和黎巴嫩青年都面临着心理健康水平下降的高风险。体育是改善身心健康的循证策略，攀岩是一种可能对身心健康都有积极影响的运动。本研究旨在测试一项针对青少年的心理社会小组攀岩干预措施对幸福感、困扰、自我效能感和社交凝聚力的影响。此外，还将研究心理变化的背后机制。(2) 方法：在这项混合方法等待对照研究中，我们将为至少 160 名参与者分配到干预组（IG）或对照组（CG）。主要结果是 8 周干预后的整体心理健康（WEMWBS）。次要结果包括困扰症状（K-6 困扰量表）、自我效能感（一般自我效能感量表；GSE）和社交凝聚力。通过对 40 名 IG 参与者的小组进行定性访谈，研究了潜在的变化机制和实施因素。(3) 结论：研究结果可能有助于了解体育干预及其对心理健康的影响，并为支持受冲突影响环境中的青少年难民和当地居民的低强度干预措施提供见解。该研究已在 ISRCTN 平台（当前对照试验）上进行了前瞻性注册。ISRCTN13005983。
