Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Educational Research and Evaluation (Education).
Engaging in evidence based practice (EBP) is the standard of care in Athletic Training. To clearly establish the use of EBP, Athletic Trainers (AT) must establish positive outcomes as a result of an intervention. However, a patient must adhere to an intervention approach to evaluate the outcomes. A patient centered approach can increase the likelihood of positive outcomes by improving the patient-clinician relationship. Trust is a primary component of a good patient-clinician relationship but there is no known measure of the patient-AT Trust relationship. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a patient-AT instrument using a mixed-methods research design. Interviews with patients and ATs were conducted to understand trust in the context of these types of intervention. The information was used to generate a series of items that were then assessed using exploratory factor analyses and Rasch modeling. The new instrument was further validated by using convergent techniques.
