dc.descriptionScientific reports notified that the pandemic caused by the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has raised an unprecedented mental health emergency worldwide. Abrupt changes in daily routine, environmental constraints, adopted home confinement measures, and uncertainty about a date for returning to usual activities can potentially affect mental health and sports activities in athletes. Hence, we designed a crosssectional study with a within-subjects design to investigate the impact of the pandemic on mental health, mood states, and life satisfaction of elite athletes. During the three phases of home confinement (April 14–24, n = 525), reopening (May 9–19, n = 464), and current semi-lockdown (July 20–31, n = 428), elite athletes voluntarily responded to an online survey. The self-report questionnaire was prepared to collect demographic and epidemiological variables of interest and the COVID-19-related information. All participants also completed the Profile of Mood State (POMS), General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The main result is that the training rate, mental health, life satisfaction, and positive mood have decreased during the home confinement period as compared with the reopening and semilockdown phases. However, the need for psychosocial services has increased during the pandemic period. The present study provides the first preliminary evidence that home confinement conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic might have negatively influenced elite athlete’s mood state, mental health, and life satisfaction, as well as Frontiers in Psychology | www.frontiersin.org 1 June 2021 | Volume 12 | Article 630414 Mehrsafar et al. Mental Health of Elite Athletes During the COVID-19 Pandemic training rates. Monitoring the psychological parameters of elite athletes and developing strategies to improve their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic should be on the agenda. Next studies, therefore, seem reasonable to focus on active interventionsfor athletes during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
dc.description.abstractEstudio que parte de la iniciativa internacional de la UPO (Jaenes) para investigar los efectos de la COVID-19 en deportistas de alto rendimiento. La COVID-19 planteó una emergencia de salud mental sin precedentes en el mundo. Los cambios bruscos en la vida, las limitaciones ambientales, medidas de confinamiento en el hogar y la incertidumbre sobre la fecha de regreso a la normalidad pueden afectar potencialmente la salud mental y las actividades deportivas. Se diseñó un estudio transversal para investigar el impacto de la pandemia en la salud mental, estados de ánimo y satisfacción vital de los deportistas de élite en Irán. Durante las tres fases de reclusión domiciliaria (14-24 de abril, n = 525), reapertura (9-19 de mayo, n = 464) y actual semi-reclusión (20-31 de julio, n = 428), los atletas de élite respondieron voluntariamente a una encuesta en línea. El autoinforme recogía variables demográficas y epidemiológicas, así como la información relacionada con la COVID-19. También completaron el Perfil del Estado de Ánimo (POMS), Cuestionario de Salud General-28 (GHQ-28) y la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS). El principal resultado es que la cantidad de entrenamiento, la salud mental, la satisfacción con la vida y el estado de ánimo positivo han disminuido durante el periodo de reclusión domiciliaria en comparación con las fases de reapertura y semi-reclusión. El estudio proporciona la primera evidencia de que el confinamiento en Irán afectó negativamente en el ánimo, salud mental y la satisfacción vital de los atletas encuestados. La monitorización de parámetros psicológicos de los atletas y el desarrollo de estrategias para mejorar su salud durante las crisis deben estar en la agenda de las autoridades.
