This book was released on 2012 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Professionalism is the combination of clinical competence, legal/ethical understanding, knowledge and humanistic qualities. Previous literature from varying disciplines indicates a decline in the perception of professionalism of healthcare providers. Medicine has a long standing contract with patients and to society as whole. Professionalism is the binding concept in this contract. Athletic Trainers are allied healthcare providers that interact and collaborate with a large and varied population of athletes, patients and clients. Purpose: The purpose of this research was several-fold. First, this research aims to enhance, promote and further the discussion of professionalism in athletic training. This research aims to examine the overall perception of professionalism in athletic training and whether athletic training student's perceptions differ from certified athletic trainers. Methods: Permission was granted to adopt and modify The Penn State College of Medicine Professionalism Questionnaire (PSCOM-PQ) for studying professionalism perceptions in athletic training. Participants were recruited through distribution emails to program directors (PD) in 12 Mid-American Conference ATEPS. The sample population included students (pre professional and professional phase) as well as certified athletic trainers (graduate students and faculty/staff). Data Analysis: A 4x6 way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures on the ABIMs six a priori elements of professionalism was performed for aggregate rating and rank ordering scores. Post Hoc testing was accomplished with independent samples T-Tests by group (pre-professional phase, professional phase, graduate and faculty/staff). Results: Pre-professional students had the greatest significant between groups differences; when compared to professional phase students pre-professional students significantly differed in 4 of 6 a priori elements of professionalism. They included accountability (t=1.8, p=.03), altruism (t= 1.4, p= .04), excellence (t= 1.53, p= .011) and respect (t= 1.04, P= .04). Pre-professional students to graduate students significantly differed in the a priori element excellence (1.72, p= .04). There were no significant differences between any of the remaining groups. Pre-professional phase students significantly differed in honor/integrity (t=1.56, p=.03) compared to graduate students in the rank ordering analysis. Conclusion: Data from this study did not support the original hypothesis that athletic training students would differ in their perceptions of professionalism compared to certified athletic trainers.

Winkler and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated strength and conditioning programs in athletic departments of NCAA Division I universities in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Little research has been conducted on the perceptions of constituents associated with these programs causing a gap in the literature. The purpose of this research was to examine the perceptions of head athletic directors and strength and conditioning coaches about the organization, structure, and function of strength and conditioning programs. The theoretical lenses used in this study included Weber's bureaucratic theories on higher education universities and Birnbaum's problematic issues with bureaucracies. A semi-structured interview process was used to interview 10 participants (5 athletic directors and 5 strength and conditioning coaches). An analysis of the participants' perceptions revealed six common themes. First, strength and conditioning programs within the MAC have great value, but some athletic departments clearly value their strength and conditioning programs by providing more financial resources than others. Secondly, mission statements are important documents in the daily operations of athletic departments, but the perceptions vary regarding the need for more specialized mission statements. Third, the organizational infrastructure of the MAC athletic departments is characterized by high levels of expertise and the need to add more staff to strength and conditioning programs. Fourth, resources are perceived to be the one of the most critical issues, especially in light of the rising costs of running athletic departments and the expectations to be fiscally responsible. Fifth, communication is important to athletic directors and strength and conditioning coaches in the operations of their department. Sixth, athletic directors and strength and conditioning coaches both perceive maintaining budgetary restrictions, adapting to the current economic environment, and experiencing growth and exposure as projected. Recommendations for practice include (1) staffing strength and conditioning programs appropriately, (2) developing long-term contractual agreements with performance-based incentives, (3) developing mission statements for all athletic departments and strength and conditioning programs, (4) producing and disseminating empirical data, and (5) separating strength and conditioning coaches so that they stand out from head sport coaches and occupy a higher-profile position on organizational charts.

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 excerpt: Athletic trainers work in clinical settings such as secondary schools, colleges and universities, sports medicine clinics, professional sports, hospitals, and other healthcare environments. However, with the rapid expansion of athletic training education programs (ATEP) over the years, another role for the athletic trainer has developed, the athletic trainer educator. Consequently, it is currently becoming increasingly apparent that athletic trainers must also be equipped with the knowledge and expertise to teach, mentor, and train the future generations of certified athletic trainers within the classroom. Recently, researchers (Hertel et al., 2001; Craig, 2006; Rich, 2009) have argued that athletic training instructors lack the necessary pedagogical knowledge to be more effective instructors. However, athletic training education is a unique environment that provides both a wealth of content knowledge and many opportunities for students and professionals to engage in inquiry, action, interaction, mentoring, and reflection. Does the athletic training environment provide informal opportunities for students and instructors to gain pedagogical expertise? To learn more about instructors' preparation for teaching, this dissertation explored athletic training instructors perceived preparedness for teaching in an ATEP. This study used a mixed methods research approach through a self-developed and pre-piloted electronic questionnaire. The approach consisted of collecting and analyzing scalable quantitative and qualitative data as well as written narrative qualitative responses from 364 participants currently teaching within an ATEP. In addition, quantitative data was collected from ATEP program directors regarding their perceptions of pedagogy on instructor preparation and its place within athletic training (AT) education. Through the study's findings, it became evident that instructors' perceived preparedness for teaching is explained by several theories of learning, such as the mentor/protege model of learning, experiential learning theory, and social learning theory. Demonstrated by their actions, attitudes, and beliefs, participants placed high value on pedagogy, its importance on effective teaching, and its place within AT education. Furthermore, from within athletic training's unique clinical field and classroom settings, participants demonstrated how each environment provided them with their perceived foundations for teaching within an ATEP. Despite these findings, formal pedagogical preparation and its place within athletic training curricula needs further exploration. -- Abstract.
