Coaches play an important role in promoting mental health in elite sports. However, they themselves are exposed to risks affecting their mental health, and their fears and worries are often overlooked. Moreover, it remains unclear how coaches' mental health affects their athletes' mental health.
To create a compilation of the literature on (1) elite coaches' mental health and (2) how coaches' mental health influences elite athletes' mental health. Building on this, recommendations for improving coaches' psychological well-being should be elaborated upon and discussed.
A literature search was conducted up to November 30, 2021, using the following databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and SportDiscus.
Studies reporting elite coaches' mental health symptoms and disorders and the influence of elite coaches' mental health on elite athletes' mental health were included.
Scoping review.
Level 4.
Data regarding elite coaches' mental health, as well as their influence on athletes' mental health and performance, were included in a descriptive analysis. The PRISMA guidelines were used to guide this review.
Little research has been done on elite coaches' mental health disorders, although studies confirm that they do experience, for example, symptoms of burnout, anxiety, and depression. The influence of coaches' mental health on their athletes is underinvestigated, with research focused mainly on the influence of coaches' stress.
Knowledge about coaches' mental health is still limited. Coaches' poor mental health diminishes coaching performance and might impair athletes' mental health. Coaches should receive more support, including sports psychiatric care and education on the importance of mental health. This could improve the mental health of both coaches and athletes, and positively affect athlete performance.
教练在促进精英体育中的心理健康方面发挥着重要作用。然而，他们自身也面临着影响心理健康的风险，而他们的恐惧和担忧往往被忽视。此外，教练的心理健康如何影响他们的运动员的心理健康仍然不清楚。
编制一份关于（1）精英教练的心理健康和（2）教练的心理健康如何影响精英运动员的心理健康的文献综述。在此基础上，应详细阐述和讨论改善教练心理健康的建议。
截至 2021 年 11 月 30 日，使用以下数据库进行文献检索：PubMed、PsycINFO、Scopus、Web of Science 和 SportDiscus。
纳入报告精英教练心理健康症状和障碍以及精英教练心理健康对精英运动员心理健康影响的研究。
范围综述。
4 级。
将有关精英教练心理健康以及他们对运动员心理健康和表现的影响的数据纳入描述性分析。本综述遵循 PRISMA 指南。
关于精英教练心理健康障碍的研究很少，但研究证实他们确实会出现例如倦怠、焦虑和抑郁等症状。教练心理健康对他们运动员的影响研究不足，研究主要集中在教练压力的影响上。
关于教练心理健康的知识仍然有限。教练心理健康状况不佳会降低教练表现，并可能损害运动员的心理健康。教练应获得更多支持，包括运动精神病学护理和心理健康重要性的教育。这可以改善教练和运动员的心理健康，积极影响运动员的表现。
