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

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 clo

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.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Mental Health in Elite Sport written by Insa Nixdorf and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health is a rapidly increasing topic in the field of sport psychology. As the relevance of athletes’ mental health has come to prominence through emerging research, there is a high demand for evidence-based practice in order to promote athletes' mental health and prevent mental disorders as well as maladaptive syndromes. However, there is currently no comprehensive overview available that highlights the empirical evidence for the constructs of mental health, illustrating the latest developments in research, or that highlights implications for future science and practice. The Routledge Handbook of Mental Health in Elite Sport delivers such an understanding and overview for this field, offering students, researchers, mental health professionals, applied sport psychologists, and coaches a state-of-the-art and insightful summary of science in the newly emerged field of clinical sport psychology and mental health in athletes. This thorough volume covers major current and emerging topics on mental health and mental illness (e.g., depression), subclinical syndromes (e.g., burnout), as well as a comprehensive overview of research on prevention (e.g., green exercise) and treatment of mental health disorders in athletes and will be a vital resource for researchers, academics, and students in the fields of sport psychology, clinical psychology, sport coaching, sport sciences, health psychology, and physical activity and related disciplines.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Context: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the delivery of higher education during the 2020 spring semester. Specifically, various components of the anticipatory socialization process for professional Master of Athletic Training student, such as in-person and hands-on learning, were abruptly halted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: Develop an understanding of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the educational experiences and mental health of entry-level Master of Athletic Training students. Design: Qualitative phenomenological study Setting: Higher education institutions with professional Master of Athletic Training programs Participants: Fourteen students (9 female, 5 male; average age = 26 ± 4 years) who were enrolled in a professional Master of Athletic Training program during the 2020 spring semester participated in our study. Data Collection and Analysis: One-on-one virtual Zoom interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Interviews were recorded and transcribed following their conclusion, and transcripts were analyzed using a phenomenological approach. Credibility was achieved through peer review, data saturation, and multiple-analyst triangulation. Results: Three major themes emerged from the data, including educational impact and emotional impact. Each major theme encompasses a myriad of subthemes. Educational impact subthemes include: 1) didactic challenges, 2) didactic benefits, 3) clinical challenges, 4) clinical benefits, and 5) strategies for success. Subthemes for emotional impact include: 1) mental health, 2) physical health, and 3) stress-relief techniques, and 4) strategies for success. Conclusions: Distance learning presented challenges for students, such as communication barriers, decreased motivation, and work-life balance guilt. It also highlighted the potential benefits of providing breaks in education on student wellness and success. These findings should be considered as programs continue to transition to entry-level master's programs that utilize clinical immersion and distance learning.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore athletic training students’ (ATSs) experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and examine confidence levels regarding their skills and abilities as ATSs. There have been few studies in the field of athletic training examining confidence in ATSs with most concluding that hands-on experiences create the foundation for a confident athletic trainer. The COVID-19 pandemic created a challenge by no longer offering opportunities to practice the clinical skills necessary to instill confidence. A descriptive cross-sectional design was created involving an online survey administered roughly one year after the COVID-19 pandemic began. The novel survey included questions reflecting the five domains of athletic training and consisted of four questions pertaining to different time frames for each domain to create a snapshot of confidence levels. Results of data analysis performed with factorial ANOVA testing revealed the confidence levels were affected by the number of clinical experiences a participant received up to December 2020 for the domains of injury and illness prevention and wellness promotion (F = 7.654; p = 0.002), examination, assessment, and diagnosis confidence levels (F = 5.741; p = 0.006) and therapeutic intervention (F = 5.952; p = 0.006) in December 2020. For the domain of immediate and emergency care, confidence levels in Spring 2021 were affected (F = 3.973; p = 0.028). Examining the confidence levels of ATSs during the COVID-19 pandemic led to the conclusion that clinical experience and total number of semesters in an athletic training program have a positive influence on the confidence levels of ATSs.

Download or read book The Effects of Generalized Stress and Anxiety on Clinical Athletic Training Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress and anxiety are present and acknowledged on our society as seven out of 10 United States adults deal with moderate stress or anxiety on a daily basis (Beiter et al., 2015). Sport research has primarily focused on student-athletes, how they struggle, and the resources that can be provided to help this population cope and manage their stress. However, there is lack of research about stress and anxiety among those individuals who provide the care to student-athletes, specifically the athletic training students within their clinical assignments. Athletic training students lead similar schedules to student-athletes by devoting time to prepare for practices, be present during practices, conduct post-practice reports of their work, care for student-athletes who are injured, and attend class. The purpose of this study was to investigate what stressors athletic training students face, how they cope with these stressors, and what resources athletic training students sought out for support in coping with their mental health. As students are fully engaged in their time-demanding clinical, they are required to complete a set number of clinical hours as a part of their academic grade. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate not only what causes stress among those caregivers, but also how they cope with stress and anxiety within both their academic and athletic training environments. This qualitative study used interviews to assess the attitudes athletic training students have toward their stress and mental health when related to class and clinical. The researcher also conducted three months of a self-reflexivity journaling to examine how a graduate student's experience compared to the demands of undergraduate athletic training students. Using semi-structured interviews, data were collected from 12 athletic training students at mid-semester who were enrolled in three different academic programs. Data were coded by the researcher using the constant comparative method. Four themes were constructed from the data: Student Identity, Time Management, Relationships, and Social Support. The fourth theme, Social Support, was the least developed theme as students struggled to find a formal and structured support system for coping with stress and anxiety. Findings from the current study show that a more formal, structured support system should be implemented by both academic departments and athletic training programs in order to better prepare them to manage their own stress while providing care for student-athletes. There should be a shift to holistic care for care providers, including the athletic training student.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the likelihood of having clinically meaningful depression and anxiety differs between collegiate athletes who perceived sport-related changes as one of their top three stressors in comparison to those who did not perceive sport-related changes as one of their top three stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional analyses included 157 collegiate (79% Female; 13.4% DI) athletes from universities in Connecticut. Participants completed an online study survey. They were asked about their: (1) perceived top three stressors; (2) demographic information; and (3) psychosocial health (i.e. anxiety, depression, perceived stress, perceived social support, and grit). Separate adjusted binomial logistic regression models assessed the relationship between sport related stressor group (primary analysis) and psychosocial predictors (secondary analyses; stress, grit, and social support) with clinically meaningful anxiety and depression. Overall, prevalence of clinically meaningful anxiety (38.8% vs. 34.4%) and depression (62.7% vs. 62.2%) was high in both sport-related and non-sport-related stressor groups, respectively. However, there was no association with sport-related stressor group. Higher perceived stress, low grit, and low social support were all significantly associated with clinically meaningful anxiety and clinically meaningful depression (not grit) (p’s
