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
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.
Athletic trainers often find themselves immersed in organizations that can critically influence the way in which they fulfill their professional obligations. The workplace can offer many situations that are challenging, particularly for those athletic trainers who are transitioning into clinical practice. With that in mind, Workplace Concepts for Athletic Trainers provides readers with clear and meaningful information that addresses common concepts and issues that occur in the workplace. The topics selected are a reflection of those covered in the literature as problematic yet identifiable and manageable. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and includes a discussion of the issue itself, how it manifests (sources and antecedents), and strategies and solutions to address the concern. Inside Workplace Concepts for Athletic Trainers, Drs. Stephanie M. Mazerolle and William A. Pitney have infused each chapter with case studies to help readers apply the information presented. The conclusion of each chapter contains a summary, questions for review, and suggested readings to reinforce learning.

Workplace Concepts for Athletic Trainers is a must-have for any athletic training student transitioning into clinical practice or a clinician seeking help for common issues that occur in the workplace.
Burnout is a phenomenon that is well known among a myriad of professions but a universally accepted definition as well as specific cause or causes is a point for discussion among many researchers. The definition for burnout ranges from one of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization seen in individuals who are employed in human service positions, to one of an overload of stress from the organization on any individual. For this research study the definition of burnout is a combination of multiple sources that describe the basis of the research. Burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization accompanied by increased levels of administrative responsibilities, time commitment and work overload that can occur among certified athletic trainers. The rate of burnout among certified athletic trainers has been researched sparsely, yet the results that exist indicate that the rate of burnout has increased since the first published study in 1985. However, the research performed on burnout has yielded poor response rates as well as a continued lack of agreement on the definition, cause, and method in which to assess burnout and the increase in the responsibilities and expectations of certified athletic trainers since these studies were published indicate the need for further research on this phenomenon. The accreditation process and regulations set forth through CAAHEP, the continuing education responsibilities, the maintenance and guidance of athletes and coaches, and various illegal activities involving athletes and teams have increased the potential for burnout among certified athletic trainers. This research attempted to develop an instrument to determine the level of burnout among certified athletic trainers employed in the Big Ten Athletic Conference. This is a one shot descriptive study in which a census of the Big Ten was used and the instrument, the Athletic Training Burnout Inventory (ATBI), was mailed to every staff ATC following face and content validation. Internal consistency was determined through responses from certified athletic trainers at four Division I-A universities. For the actual study, multiple forms of communication were utilized to increase the response rate. In order to increase the response rate every institution that completed and returned all of the questionnaires was entered into a raffle to receive a $100 donation to their respective athletic training program. Descriptive statistics were reported for each of the four constructs as well as frequency data for each item within the respective construct. An independent t-test (p
