“…Those studies have not investigated the practice characteristics of the AT. 10,11,13,20,27,28,30 However, other health care professions, including medicine, nursing, and physical therapy [31][32][33] have performed practice analyses in different subsets to describe and improve patient care. For example, Resnik et al 31 studied organizational and practicerelated factors, including the use of physical therapy assistants with patients who have low back pain, that predicted performance in the treatment of low back pain syndromes in physical therapy clinics.…”

“…For example, Resnik et al 31 studied organizational and practicerelated factors, including the use of physical therapy assistants with patients who have low back pain, that predicted performance in the treatment of low back pain syndromes in physical therapy clinics. Similarly, Freed et al 32,33 surveyed pediatric and family nurse practitioners, respectively, to identify important provider, setting, and patient characteristics. These types of analyses can expose practice deficiencies while revealing positive and productive aspects of current clinical practices at a national level.…”

Context: Increased rates of sport participation and sportrelated injury have led to greater emphasis on and attention to medical care of student-athletes in the secondary school setting. Access to athletic training services is seen as a critical factor for delivering adequate injury prevention and medical care to student-athletes. However, few data are available regarding practice characteristics of athletic trainers (ATs) in this setting.Objective: To characterize the practices of secondary school athletic trainers (ATs).Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 17 558 ATs with current National Athletic Trainers' Association membership were identified for survey distribution. Of these, 4232 ATs indicated that they practiced in the secondary school setting, and 4045 completed some part of the survey.Main Outcome Measure(s): A Web-based survey was used to obtain demographic information about ATs and their secondary schools and characteristics of athletic training practice. Descriptive data regarding the athletic trainer's personal characteristics, secondary school characteristics, and practice patterns are reported as percentages and frequencies.Results: Most respondents were in the early stages of their careers and relatively new to the secondary school practice setting. Nearly two-thirds (62.4%; n ¼ 2522) of respondents had 10 or fewer years of experience as secondary school ATs, 52% (n ¼ 2132) had been certified for 10 or fewer years, and 53.4% (n ¼ 2164) had 10 or fewer years of experience in any practice setting. The majority of respondents (85%) worked in public schools with enrollment of 1000 to 1999 (35.5%) and with football (95.5%). More than half of respondents were employed directly by their school. Most respondents (50.6%) reported an athletic training budget of less than $4000. The majority of ATs performed evaluations (87.5%) on-site all of the time, with a smaller percentage providing treatments (73.3%) or rehabilitation (47.4%) services all of the time.Conclusions: This is the first study to describe secondary school athletic training that reflects national practice trends. To improve the quality of athletic training care and to support and improve current working conditions, the profession must examine how its members practice on a day-to-day basis.

Öz ABS TRACT Materials and Methods:The study was planned as a single-group research with a pretest and posttest, and conducted over the period of June 2012-January 2014 in the children's units of all the state hospitals in Northern Cyprus. All nurses (n=85) working in these units volunteering to participate in the study were recruited. The refresher training program on the roles and functions of pediatric nurses was carried out four days a week for two weeks. The mean scores on the pediatric nurses' implementation of roles and functions inventory that was administered prior to and following the program were used to assess the realization of the nurses' roles and functions. Results: The pediatric nurses' implementation of their roles and functions showed a significant improvement following the program. It was determined that the nurse's age had an impact on the subscale of the role of communicator and cooperator, and that the position of the nurse had an impact on the subscale of the role of counselor. Conclusion:The results indicated that a program of regular and planned refresher training for pediatric nurses increased their awareness about the implementation of their roles and functions and consequently produced the potential of a positive impact on the nursing practice.

“…Continued support and funding for medical home concepts will lead to an increasing variety of nonphysician providers working in the pediatric setting." 1 The articles by Freed et al [2][3][4][5] describe the current workforce situation in the United States with regard to pediatric nurse practitioners, neonatal nurse practitioners (NNPs), pediatric physician assistants (PAs), and family nurse practitioners (FNPs). Although it is encouraging that these pediatric nonphysician providers already exist, the authors observe current limitations in their scope of practice and offer specific recommendations necessary if they are to assume the role envisioned by the VOP 2020 Task Force.…”

“…Although there are 13 000 pediatric nurse practitioners, many more are needed, few are practicing in inpatient or subspecialist roles, and few are functioning independently. 2 The distribution of NNPs is highly variable; 31 states have fewer than 100 NNPs, and only 4 states have 13 to 23 NNPs per 100 000 children. 3 Only 3% of all PAs work in pediatric nonsurgical settings; 37 states have fewer than 50 pediatric PAs, and 98% of pediatric PAs work in urban areas.…”
