PREVALENCE OF AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION IN COMPETITIVE COLLEGIATE STUDENT ATHLETES
alidated self-report measures assessing symptoms of depression and provided demographic information, academic standing, athletic performance, and other relevant variables. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the prevalence of depression symptoms and identify significant risk factors.
Results: The results indicate a notable prevalence of symptoms of depression among competitive collegiate student-athletes. Factors such as injury history, performance pressure, academic stress, and social support were found to be associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing depression symptoms. Additionally, gender differences in the prevalence of depression symptoms were explored.
Conclusion: This study sheds light on the mental health challenges faced by competitive collegiate student-athletes and underscores the need for targeted interventions and support systems. Identifying risk factors allows for the development of preventive strategies and mental health initiatives tailored to this population. The findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to student-athlete well-being, considering both the physical and mental aspects, to enhance their overall health and performance. Further longitudinal research is recommended to understand the dynamic nature of these factors over time and to inform ongoing mental health support for collegiate student-athletes.
