Notes
- Abstract:
- Athletic trainers are the primary healthcare provider when an athlete sustains a sport injury. The athletic trainer’s responsibility is to assist an athlete through a rehabilitation protocol, so the athlete can return to full participation. In the past, emphasis has been primarily placed on the physical aspects of sport injury and athletic trainers focused on healing just the injury, not the whole athlete. The athletic training community now understands that there are psychological factors to injury and the community has turned to holistic healthcare to help treat athletes. To establish holistic healthcare, the Psychosocial Intervention and Referral component was added to athletic training curriculum to produce athletic trainers who could assist with the physical and mental hurdles of an injury. Even though the Psychosocial Intervention and Referral component was added, certified athletic trainers may still lack confidence in implementing and teaching the psychosocial skills to their athletes. Since athletic training education programs will be offered exclusively at the master’s level beginning in the 2020 academic year, it is important to have a Psychosocial Intervention and Referral education policy in place to optimize the skills in the shorten amount of educational time. In order to begin building a policy there needs to be an understanding of the confidence levels of practicing athletic trainers, what skills are being used, and how those skills are being used. Knowing these elements can help athletic training curriculums know what has worked and where gaps may need to be filled.
