The study aims to analyze scientific publications on the association between social networks, social relationships, and social support for sports coaches. It seeks to identify the types and levels of social support provided by various agents, and to understand the impact of this support on coaches' wellbeing. The goal is to help coaches better utilize social support, thereby enhancing their quality of life, work, and performance.
This study systematically reviewed 11 scientific articles to investigate the association between social support, social networks, and social relationships in sports coaches. It aimed to identify the types and levels of social support offered to coaches by family members, peers, and friends. Our research utilized the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and assessed study quality using the STROBE Statement. Eligibility was determined by the PECOS criterion based on the search strategy terms.
Our findings indicate that social support has significant positive effects on sports coaches. It enhances selfcompassion, prevents burnout symptoms, boosts job and life satisfaction, and reduces stress levels. Organizational support, characterized by clear guidelines, guidance, and autonomy, yielded positive outcomes. Conversely, the absence of social support correlated with negative outcomes for coaches, including lower self-compassion, increased stress and burnout symptoms, reduced job and life satisfaction, and heightened work-family conflict. Coaches' social networks encompassed family members, peers, friends, and other sources, with friends perceived as the most influential. Maintaining an effective social support network is crucial for coaches' performance and psychological wellbeing.
This systematic review emphasizes the importance of social support for coaches in both their personal and professional lives, noting its positive effects and the negative consequences of its absence. Given the demanding nature of coaching, improving social support systems can enhance coaches' wellbeing and the success of sports activities.
本研究旨在分析关于社交网络、社会关系与体育教练社会支持之间关联的科学出版物。它试图确定各类主体提供的社会支持的类型和水平，并了解这种支持对教练幸福感的影响。目标是帮助教练更好地利用社会支持，从而提高他们的生活质量、工作和表现。
本研究系统回顾了11篇科学文章，以调查体育教练的社会支持、社交网络和社会关系之间的关联。其目的是确定家庭成员、同行和朋友为教练提供的社会支持的类型和水平。我们的研究采用PRISMA系统评价指南，并使用STROBE声明评估研究质量。根据搜索策略术语，通过PECOS标准确定纳入标准。
我们的研究结果表明，社会支持对体育教练有显著的积极影响。它增强了自我同情，预防倦怠症状，提高工作和生活满意度，并降低压力水平。以明确的指导方针、指导和自主权为特征的组织支持产生了积极的结果。相反，缺乏社会支持与教练的负面结果相关，包括较低的自我同情、压力和倦怠症状增加、工作和生活满意度降低以及工作与家庭冲突加剧。教练的社交网络包括家庭成员、同行、朋友和其他来源，其中朋友被认为最具影响力。维持有效的社会支持网络对教练的表现和心理健康至关重要。
本系统评价强调了社会支持对教练个人和职业生活的重要性，指出了其积极影响以及缺乏社会支持的负面后果。鉴于教练工作的高要求性质，改善社会支持系统可以提高教练的幸福感和体育活动的成功率。
