It was Hippocrates who stated ‘First, do no harm’, and we believe the sentiment of this medical principle is one that every researcher should embody when conducting research on interpersonal violence (IV) in sport. Conducting such research presents unique considerations for researchers, particularly in relation to supporting participant and researcher well-being. Similarly, approaching this sensitive topic with clear definitions of IV in sport and an understanding of trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) is paramount to the protection and care of everyone involved in the research. The landscape for researching IV in sport that has rapidly emerged to investigate its determinants from various lenses including ethical, sociological, psychological, criminological and organisational.1 2 The siloed nature of research on IV in sport also has led to inconsistency in terminology, hindering effective communication and collaboration within and outside the field. The terms used to describe and study IV in sport have a profound impact on how the problem is communicated and understood. The use of diverging definitions creates challenges for determining what is within or outside the scope of research, limits our ability to meaningfully compare prevalences and experiences reported across projects, and impacts methodological considerations such as the effective recruitment of participants. Currently, terms such as maltreatment, non-accidental violence, harm, harassment, abuse and IV are used interchangeably, and clarification on the use of terminologies is essential. This paper aligns with the latest International Olympic Committee (IOC) Consensus Statement1 and the WHO’s typology of violence3 and focuses on ‘ interpersonal violence’, which differs from self-directed and collective violence (box 1).

“首先，不要伤害”：对体育运动中的人际暴力进行研究


希波克拉底说过“首先，不要伤害”，我们相信这一医学原则的情感是每个研究人员在进行体育中人际暴力 （IV） 研究时都应该体现的。进行此类研究对研究人员提出了独特的考虑因素，尤其是在支持参与者和研究人员的福祉方面。同样，通过对体育运动中 IV 的明确定义和对创伤和暴力知情护理 （TVIC） 的理解来处理这个敏感话题，对于保护和照顾参与研究的每个人至关重要。体育中静脉注射研究的前景迅速出现，从包括伦理、社会学、心理学、犯罪学和组织在内的各种角度研究其决定因素。2 体育中静脉注射研究的孤立性质也导致了术语的不一致，阻碍了该领域内外的有效沟通和合作。用于描述和研究体育 IV 的术语对问题的沟通和理解方式有深远的影响。使用不同的定义为确定研究范围内或范围外的内容带来了挑战，限制了我们有意义地比较不同项目报告的患病率和经验的能力，并影响了方法论考虑，例如有效招募参与者。目前，诸如虐待、非意外暴力、伤害、骚扰、虐待和 IV 等术语可以互换使用，因此必须澄清术语的使用。 本文与最新的国际奥林匹克委员会 （IOC） 共识声明 1 和 WHO 的暴力类型学 3 保持一致，并侧重于“人际暴力”，这与自我导向和集体暴力不同（框 1）。插文 1 ### 体育运动中人际暴力的实用定义词汇表
