“…Budziszewski et al [ 36 ] found similar results in a sample of athlete trainers, whose warfare–contesting orientation, partnership–contesting orientation, sports ethic, commitment, and social identity were significantly related to moral disengagement. Specifically, athlete trainers reporting a stronger sports ethic and contesting orientations with lower commitment and social connection to student–athletes were more prone to moral disengagement, allowing athletes to play through injury.…”

The sports environment can be considered as a context characterized by interactions typical of social groups, where children have the chance to learn good values. Positive and negative behaviours in sports, also called prosocial and antisocial behaviours, have been studied according to a moral perspective, as has doping behaviour, taking into consideration the concept of moral disengagement. Moral disengagement in children has been associated with maladaptive behaviours later in life, even though it should disappear with growth. Concerning the sports environment, previous reviews on the topic have extensively illustrated the role of moral variables in sport and their relation to antisocial behaviour and doping, positing some research questions that should be investigated in the future. Starting from these questions, the current narrative review aims to update literature about the effects of moral disengagement on youth athletes. Therefore, new studies about the predictors of moral disengagement are introduced, followed by contributions concerning the relationship between moral disengagement and doping and between moral disengagement and antisocial behaviour. Finally, the review summarizes which research questions have been solved in the last decade and which should be researched further on.

“…For instance, in athletic training, when ATs in the collegiate setting identify with a team as opposed to a patient population, they may participate in negative behaviors such as moral disengagement from return-to-play decisions. 18 These ATs may relate team success to individual goals, accomplishments, and aspirations, suggesting that identity, and PO, must be directed at the correct target to promote positive behaviors.…”

Context: Psychological ownership (PO) is a state where an individual feels possession over an object (e.g. PO over the organization where one works, PO over the profession one serves). Understanding PO could provide insight to “vitality of the profession” as defined in the Prioritized Research Agenda for the Athletic Training Profession. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore athletic trainers' (AT) PO over their employing organization and the athletic training profession. Design: Cross-Sectional Study Setting: Web-based survey Patients or Other Participants: Clinically practicing ATs that were active members of NATA. Main Outcome Measure(s): Demographic variables, Psychological Ownership Questionnaire (POQ), and Psychological Ownership of Athletic Training (POQ-AT) were the primary outcomes measured. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographic variables, POQ and POQ-AT overall scores, form scores, and dimension scores. Non-parametric tests were used to investigate differences between the POQ and POQ-AT among demographic characteristics. Results: ATs indicated greater PO over the athletic training profession (Z=−3.45, p=0.001) than over their employing organization. They indicated greater belongingness (Z=−9.51, p<0.001) and self-identity (Z=−8.71, p<0.001) and less territoriality (Z=−5.52, p<0.001) and accountability (Z=−5.33, p<0.001) over their profession than within their organization. ATs that supervised others indicated greater overall POQ (U=34372, p<0.001) and overall POQ-AT score (U=36624, p=0.014) than ATs that did not supervise others. There was a difference in overall POQ (H(4)=20.47, p<0.001) and overall POQ-AT scores (H(4)=21.34, p<0.001) between groupings of years of experience. Conclusions: ATs indicate greater PO over their profession than their employing organizations. They indicate greater self-identity and belongingness and less territoriality and accountability over the athletic training profession than over their employing organization suggesting ATs are connecting aspirations and accomplishments with the profession but connecting duty and responsibility to their organizations. Years of experience and supervisor status may play a role in the level of organizational PO.

Context Developing effective interprofessional teams is vital to achieving quality care for those dealing with behavioral health concerns. Athletic trainers (ATs) play a vital role as they are often the first healthcare provider to interact with student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics. However, research regarding how behavioral health providers view the AT's role on interprofessional behavioral health teams is limited. Objective To explore behavioral health providers' perceived role of ATs in collaborative behavioral healthcare. Design Qualitative. Setting Individual interviews. Patients or Other Participants Nine behavioral healthcare providers (women=6, men=3; age range=30–59 years, years in clinical practice=6–25 years) from NCAA Power 5 schools were interviewed. Data Collection and Analysis Participants were contacted via publicly available contact information from their university websites. Participants engaged in an individual, audio-only interview using a commercially available teleconferencing platform. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and returned to participants for member checking. A phenomenological approach with inductive coding and multi-analyst triangulation was performed to analyze the transcripts for common themes and sub-themes. Results Three themes emerged: (1) provider experience, (2) AT's role in behavioral health, and (3) collaboration. Provider experience included sub-themes of formal education and interaction with ATs. Sub-themes of an AT's role included care coordination, information gathering, and positive proximity. Sub-themes for collaboration included structural collaboration, cultural collaboration, collaboration concerns, and suggestions for ideal collaboration. Conclusions Collaborative care models can enhance providers' ability and maximize support of student-athlete wellness. This study demonstrates that behavioral health providers working within a collaborative care model with ATs have overall positive experiences with such collaboration, and that clear role delineation and responsibilities help to foster high-quality patient care.
