Download or read book Work related Stress and Its Relationship to Disordered Eating Behaviors in Athletic Trainers written by Shelby Erin Barter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The relationship between stress and disordered eating has been clearly documented throughout literature. However, the research regarding unique work-related stress and disordered eating amongst healthcare professionals is scant and no research in this area has been conducted on athletic trainers (ATs). Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine work-related stress and its relationship to disordered eating behaviors in athletic trainers. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Participating ATs completed a computer-based survey in November/December 2017. Participants: Responding participants were certified ATs randomly sampled from the National Athletic Trainer’ Association (NATA) membership. One thousand participants were randomly selected but only 84 (8.4%) completed the survey in its entirety (n = 83; men = 26; female = 57; mean age = 31.96 + 9.22 years). Outcome Measures: Participants completed self-reported assessments of eating habits (the Revised-18 Three Factor Eating Questionnaire1) and perceived work-related stress (Perceived Stress Scale2) via an online platform that was accessed through a secure email link. Multiple regression analyses were used to examine hypothesized relationships among study variables. Results: Regression analyses demonstrated that perceived stress was a significant predictor of disordered eating behaviors (Adjusted R2 = 0.18, p

Book Stress  Stress Appraisal and Coping in Athletic Trainers During the COVID 19 Pandemic

Download or read book Stress Stress Appraisal and Coping in Athletic Trainers During the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Lawson Holton and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Introduction: There have been many studies conducted on the stress and mental health of frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) over the past months since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Very limited literature has examined the effect of the pandemic on athletic trainers (ATs). Objective: The aim of this investigation was to examine the stress, stress appraisal, and coping measures of ATs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Participants were recruited members from the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA). The Perceived Stress Scale-10 was used to measure stress, the Stress Appraisal Measure was used to measure stress appraisal, and the Brief COPE was used to measure coping strategies. Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics were run on all subscales of the PSS-10, SAM, and Brief COPE along with demographic variables. Where appropriate, one-way ANOVAs were run to examine differences in variables of interest between AT setting and level of education. For these analyses, an alpha level of .05 was adopted. Results: This sample reported an average perceived stress score of 20.31. Participants reported an almost equal score in primary and secondary stress appraisal. The most used coping strategies in this sample included self-distraction, acceptance, emotional support, positive reframing, and instrumental support, respectively. Overall, 42.9% of this sample reported that they felt underutilized during the pandemic. Conclusion: While this study may have had some limitations, it may have been one of the first to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stress, stress appraisal, and coping of ATs. Comparison of this data to other studies shows a broad agreement in similar levels of perceived stress and some similar coping methods. It is suggested that employers of ATs and other HCWs implement stress management strategies and the use of effective coping strategies to help these populations handle their stress more effectively in the future

Book Stress and Burnout in Collegiate Certified Athletic Trainers

Download or read book Stress and Burnout in Collegiate Certified Athletic Trainers written by Adam Thompson and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certified athletic trainers (ATC) have a variety of job responsibilities which revolve around the delivery of health care services to athletes as well as physically active individuals. Studies related to stress and burnout among certified athleic trainers working at the collegiate setting of athletic training are growing. Many of the stressors that certified athletic trainers experience are due to the demands of varying athletic schedules, unrealistic expectations of sport coverage by coaches, parents and athletes, as well as the inherent competitiveness of athletics. Since certified athletic trainers spend a considerable amount of their time interacting with athletes and coaches, their perception of stressors can be a critical part in their definition of stress. Without intentional intervention, long term stress can lead to burnout. Stress and burnout will directly impact the quality of health care services that are provided by a certified athletic trainer.

Book Stress and Burnout among Athletic Training Students and Athletic Trainers

Download or read book Stress and Burnout among Athletic Training Students and Athletic Trainers written by Rhoda Frank and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Health - Sports science, , language: English, abstract: This study aims to determine the causes of stress and burnout among athletic training students and athletic trainers and how these problems affect their professional careers. Besides, the study seeks to establish the level of burnout among athletic training students. Additionally, the study aims to establish the solution for the issues identified and recommends strategies that athletic training programs should implement to mitigate stress and burnout. Role strain, work-family conflict, and professional socialization are the leading cause of stress and burnout among athletic training students. Task incongruence, role conflict, ambiguity, overload, and incompetency were the identified aspects of strain in ATs. The ambiguity in the athletic training profession is connected to insufficient specificity, while role conflict occurs in a situation where an individual is assigned to multiple roles at the same time. In essence, an individual's values and beliefs may not be compatible with professional job demands, causing role incongruence (the situation where description does not align with an individual's personality). Nineteen articles deeply examine the effect of role strain in athletic training students' profession. Work-family conflict is the disturbance emanating from the profession's family responsibilities, impacting their professional accomplishment. Fourteen researchers examined this problem extensively in the reviewed research articles, and it was determined to be a potential cause of burnout among athletic training students. High travel demands and long working hours are the two causes of work-family conflicts identified in the study. Besides, delayed or rescheduled games were determined to contribute to work-family conflict among the athletic trainers. The study found professional socialization and burnout among athletic training students closely related. Role revolution, gaining stability, formal preparation, envisioning the role, and organizational entry are the five essential phases of professional specialization in sports medicine.

Book Using Sport Psychology in the Athletic Training Room

Download or read book Using Sport Psychology in the Athletic Training Room written by Karin J. Schult and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC) have a critical role in collegiate athletic settings and are in close contact with athletes. Psychology plays an important role in the lives of athletes, yet ATCs may not have the training to differentiate between normal stress in athletes and real psychological problems. The primary purpose of this study was to describe perceptions of ATCs regarding their qualifications to use psychological techniques when dealing with athletes, in addition to describing accessibility and incidence of referral to psychological services. Two hundred schools from two NCAA Divisions (I and II) were randomly selected and sent a questionnaire to be completed by a certified staff athletic trainer. The results indicated Division I schools have greater access and referrals to sport psychologists than do Division II schools. It was also evident that athletic trainers knew they need more education to properly implement certain psychological techniques when dealing with their athletes.

Book Perceived Stress as a Predictor of Acute Athletic Injury in NCAA Division III Intercollegiate Student athletes

Download or read book Perceived Stress as a Predictor of Acute Athletic Injury in NCAA Division III Intercollegiate Student athletes written by Hayleigh A. Hanson and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Collegiate student-athletes have a multitude of stressors from academic coursework, managing relationships, as well as participating in a sport (Mann, Bryant, Johnstone, Ivey, & Sayers, 2016). According to the stressinjury framework by Andersen and Williams (1988), there is a relationship between increased stress and athletic injury. The present study was conducted to analyze perceived stress as a predictor of acute athletic injury in NCAA Division III student-athletes. Participants were male and female Division III collegiate basketball players and wrestlers (N = 29) between the ages of 18 – 25. The participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS- 10) three times throughout one sport season (beginning, middle, end) with approximately 30 days in between. Acute athletic injuries were recorded throughout the sport season for each athlete and assessed at the end of each data collection time period. Three binary logistic regressions were used for analysis. For all three data collection time periods, perceived stress was not a significant predictor of acute athletic injury (p > .05). Though the findings in the study did not support perceived stress, measured by the PSS-10, as a predictor of acute athletic injury, other instruments may be used to better capture aspects of the stress-injury framework (Andersen & Williams, 1988) in the student-athlete population.

Book NCAA Division I Athletic Trainers  Perceptions and Use of Psychological Skills During Injury Rehabilitation

Download or read book NCAA Division I Athletic Trainers Perceptions and Use of Psychological Skills During Injury Rehabilitation written by Mary Kathleen Estepp and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied sport psychology research suggests that the use of psychological skills (e.g., positive self-talk, goal-setting, relaxation) during the rehabilitation process increase recovery rates, increase adherence to rehabilitation, and decrease anxiety and stress (Heaney, 2006). Certified athletic trainers (ATCs) hold a critical role within injury rehabilitation as the primary health care professional who interacts with injured athletes. Therefore, properly trained, ATCs have been identified as the ideal professional to implement psychological skills during injury rehabilitation (Larson, Starkey, & Zaichkowsky, 1996). The purpose of this study was to explore National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I (D-I) ATCs use of psychological skills and perceptions of qualifications to implement psychological skills with athletes during rehabilitation. Results revealed that participants reported using goal-setting, communication, and time management most frequently with athletes. Results of a stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that participants confidence in their ability to effectively demonstrate psychological skills significantly predicted their use of psychological skills, along with perceptions of the effectiveness of psychological skills and previous level of training in sport psychology. Lastly, participants perceived psychologists to be the most qualified professional to implement psychological skills with injured athletes. Implications for ATCs and sport psychology professionals are education. This includes ATCs educational requirements to be more detailed and clear for athletic training students as well as education by sport psychology consultants to help other professional better understand their role in the overall sport team.
