Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Athletic Training Education (Health and Human Services).
Wellness is a multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive individual health as exemplified by quality of life and state of wellbeing. Wellness is an underdeveloped area of research in athletic training. A cross-sectional random sample survey was emailed to 1000 members of the NATA. The independent variables in this study are sex, age, relationship status, years of athletic training experience, and hours worked by the athletic trainer. The Perceived Wellness Survey as developed and validated by Adams, Beznar and Steinhardt was adapted to measure athletic trainer perceived wellness. Results indicated significant mean differences in perceived wellness composite scores across the number of hours worked by athletic trainers in season (p< .05). This suggests that athletic trainers working more hours per week demonstrated a decreased capacity to maintain wellness. Future research should explore and focus on validating a wellness instrument in order to investigate areas impeding and promoting athletic trainer wellness.
