Objective The purpose of this study was to explore educational experiences relative to LGBTQPIA+ patient care in Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited, master's-level professional athletic training programs. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Web-based survey. Participants Students (N = 333) who were currently enrolled in the last 1 to 2 semesters of their respective programs or had recently graduated from a master's-level professional athletic training program within the last year. Main Outcome Measure(s) The survey asked participants to characterize and evaluate the effectiveness of their learning experie...

The flexibility in the requirements allows programs to be innovative in their curricular design and to meet the needs of their learners. Objective The purpose of this educational technique is to describe the process for empowering students to choose preceptors and clinical sites that meet their needs. Background Traditionally, program administrators assign students to preceptors and clinical sites based on proximity and availability of clinicians surrounding the institution. However, this may limit the options for students to find preceptors and mentors who are best suited to prepare them for future clinical practice. Description In our program, we empower students to pursue their immersive clinical education experience with a preceptor and/or clinical site that will meet their personal and professional needs as a learner and future clinician. Advantages Preceptors and alumni have noted inc...

Objective To identify the motivating factors that influence ATs to pursue postprofessional athletic training residencies. Design Qualitative study. Setting Individual telephone interviews. Patients or Other Participants Twelve postprofessional athletic training residency candidates (8 females, 4 males; age = 26 ± 3 years; years of experience as a practicing AT = 4 ± 3 years) participated. Data Collection and Analysis Each teleconference interview was transcribed verbatim. All information was retrieved, coded, and categorized under domains, subdomains, and categories. Three members of the research team coded and compared transcripts using multiple-analyst triangulation and peer review to confirm their findings. An external auditor was used to verify the accuracy of the codebook. Results We...

However, little is known concerning the perceptions of educators regarding student competence in athletic training. Objective To explore athletic training educators' perceptions of student competence. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Online survey with open-ended questions. Patients or Other Participants In total, 368 of 1577 athletic training educators accessed the survey (23.3% access rate); 327 were included in data analysis because they indicated they served as an athletic training educator at the time of data collection and completed at least 1 open-ended question. Respondents represented athletic training programs in 47 states, and their average age was 41.5 ± 9.4 years.

The Athletic Training Strategic Alliance Research Agenda Task Force identified a profession-wide belief that examining the extent to which athletic trainers (ATs) provide PCC in their clinical practice would benefit the profession. To first address this line of inquiry, we must study the subjectivity of how ATs view PCC. This study used Q methodology which is a research design that collects data from participants from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. A total of 115 (males = 62, females = 53, age = 37±10 y, experience = 13±10 y) ATs dispersed between 11 job settings volunteered for this study. Participants were asked to pre-sort (agree, disagree, neutral) 36 validated statements representing the 8 dimensions of PCC, then completed a Q-sort where they dragged-and-dropped the pre-sorted statements based o...

Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used with open- and closed-ended questions using a tool that was modified from a previously validated tool used within the collegiate setting; the tool was adapted through content expert validation. Results: Athletic trainers perceived themselves as confident in providing independent medical care through the school district healthcare delivery model (n=109/121, 90%) more often than those functioning within the hospital/clinic outreach model (n=85/130, 65%). Conclusions: Despite not having nationalized legislation and having variable support structures in place, secondary school athletic trainers are confident in providing independent medical care even when their direct supervisor may not be a healthcare provider. This is contradictory to similar findings within the collegiate setting...

However, athletic training students have been frustrated with a lack of engagement, mentorship, and diversity within their clinical education experiences. As such, the selection and deselection of clinical sites is critical to creating effective learning experiences. Objective To explore how clinical education coordinators (CECs) select and deselect clinical education experiences (sites and preceptors) for clinical integration and immersion. Design Consensual qualitative research. Setting Individual teleconference interviews. Patients or Other Participants Thirteen CECs (age = 42 ± 8 years, experience in current role = 8 ± 8 years) from accredited professional master's programs who were in their position for at least 1 year and had at least 1 immersive rotation. Data Collection and Analysis All interviews were audio recorded and tr...

Objective Assess DAT graduates' perceived importance and confidence in performing personal leadership competencies as well as the level of influence a DAT program had on the development of these competencies. Design Cross-sectional design. Setting A 73-item Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants Seventy-seven DAT graduates, from a possible 205 graduates responded to the survey. Forty-five respondents completed the survey (21.9%) and were included in this study (age = 31.5 ± 6.1 years; years since graduating from DAT = 1.13 ± 0.90; years of experience = 8.69 ± 5.6; years employed at current job = 3.00 ± 4.04). Intervention(s) Each participant completed a questionnaire with 7 demographic items and 66 items to assess perceived importance, confidence, and influence of the DAT ...

Limited literature exists regarding how individuals with this degree can become part of an athletic training faculty. Objective To identify department chairs' perceptions of the DAT degree and determine whether they viewed the degree as viable when hiring new faculty within a postbaccalaureate professional athletic training program. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Online survey instrument. Patients or Other Participants A total of 376 department chairs who had oversight of Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education athletic training programs were invited to participate.

Purpose: To describe the rate and risk factors associated with exertional heat illness (EHI). Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: For a 3-month period (August-October) over 6 years (2013-2018), athletic trainers at 13 high schools in North Central Florida recorded varsity football practice time and length, wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT), and incidences of EHI, including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat syncope. Results: Athletes sustained 54 total EHIs during 163,254 athlete-exposures (AEs) for the 3-month data collection periods over 6 years (incidence rate [IR], 3.31 /10,000 AEs). Heat exhaustion accounted for 59.3% (32/54), heat syncope 38.9% (21/54), and heat stroke 1.9% (1/54) of all EHIs recorded. Of the EHIs, 94.4% (51/54) were experienced within the first 19 practices. The first 19 practices had an I...

To first address this line of inquiry, we must study the subjectivity of how ATs view PCC.

Program directors have indicated potential isolation from peers and faculty, a financial burden, and less engagement in quality learning during immersive clinical experiences. Objective To explore athletic training students' perceptions of the immersive clinical experience as it pertains to their development. Design Qualitative study. Setting Individual virtual interviews. Patients or Other Participants A total of 15 athletic training students who participated in the immersive clinical experience in the last 9 months took part in our study (males = 4, females = 11; age = 25 ± 5 years, range = 21–36 years). Data Collection and Analysis We conducted interviews and recorded and transcribed them verbatim. We developed a codebook using the consensual qualitative research tradition to identify domains and categories. Trustworthiness was established using member-checking, multiple re...
