Young males experience markedly poorer mental health outcomes. Organised sport settings provide novel prospects to improve the mental health of this subpopulation.
This systematic review aimed to evaluate interventions targeted at the promotion of mental health and wellbeing among young males in organised sporting contexts.
Six databases (SportDiscus, PsycInfo, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL) were searched from inception to June 2022 (and updated in September 2023). Eligible studies examined interventions targeting the mental health and wellbeing (e.g., depression, anxiety, resilience) or mental health literacy (e.g., stigmatising attitudes, help-seeking) of young males aged 10-24 years (or associated stakeholder samples; e.g., parents or coaches of male youth).
A total of 15 studies were included in this review. Overall, the findings indicate promising effects of sport-based interventions on the mental health and mental health literacy outcomes of young males.
This review suggests that there is scope to improve the capacity of sports-based interventions to affect positive change in the mental health of male youth. The findings from this review also have important implications for the development and evaluation of sports-based interventions targeted at young males in future.
年轻男性的心理健康状况明显较差。有组织的体育环境为改善这一亚群体的心理健康提供了新的前景。
本系统评价旨在评估针对在有组织的体育环境中促进年轻男性心理健康和幸福感的干预措施。
检索了六个数据库（SportDiscus、PsycInfo、Medline、Web of Science、Scopus、CINAHL），检索时间从建库至2022年6月（并于2023年9月更新）。符合条件的研究考察了针对10至24岁年轻男性（或相关利益相关者样本，如男性青少年的父母或教练）心理健康和幸福感（如抑郁、焦虑、心理韧性）或心理健康素养（如污名化态度、寻求帮助）的干预措施。
本评价共纳入15项研究。总体而言，研究结果表明基于体育的干预措施对年轻男性的心理健康和心理健康素养结果有积极影响。
本评价表明，有空间提高基于体育的干预措施影响男性青少年心理健康积极变化的能力。本评价的结果对未来针对年轻男性的基于体育的干预措施的开发和评估也具有重要意义。
