摘要

Background

Pain and analgesic intake are widespread among youth elite sports, with female athletes affected by a greater risk of adverse health effects than male athletes. StrongHer is a theory- and evidence-based e‑learning program aimed at promoting more reflective analgesic intake among young female athletes that was developed in collaboration with experts at two German Olympic centers. The program focuses on sensitization and coping skills in pain-related situations to support self-care.

Objective

StrongHer pursues two goals: (1) improved health literacy as a basis for developing individual coping skills and (2) more reflective analgesic intake.

Methods

The program is based on a systematic analysis of research integrating athletes’ biological, psychological, and social background. The program enables participants to work anonymously and self-regulate within a defined but tailored framework. Additionally, it works with standardized feedback to promote athletes’ skill development regarding a health-oriented approach to analgesics as well as motivation for further improvement. StrongHer is accompanied by a formative evaluation to strengthen the fit between scientific knowledge and practical demands.

Results

Initial analyses indicate that female athletes benefit in terms of an increase in their health literacy and a more critical perspective on analgesics.

Conclusion

If these results are confirmed in subsequent studies, StrongHer should be made available on a permanent basis with low-threshold access.
