“…Our study was refuted in comparison to a study by Riter et al, 8 who found that PA did not have a significant effect on students. When placing emphasis on stress level and mood states, Stilger et al 11 suggest that stress levels may vary with certain academic periods throughout the year.…”

“…Stress levels are higher in undergraduate athletic training students who are seniors preparing and making plans following graduation compared to freshmen, who still have time before they need to be concerned with the next step in life. 8 During an academic semester, stress may arise and mood states may vary. Mood state components include depression, anxiety, and anger 9 in individuals and can result from academic workload, clinical experience, and clinical research, for example.…”

“…This area of interest is compelling because AT students currently in professional master's programs tend to exemplify a multitude of mood states and burnout levels throughout the first and second year of the program, and this may continue to be more applicable with upcoming professional master's students as well. 8 Kania et al 4 suggested that graduating from a professional master's program was an indicator of EE. There have been changes found based on time point during an academic semester among undergraduate students 11 ; however, this has yet to be studied in professional master's level students.…”

Context Professional master's athletic training students are at high risk for changes in mood state and an increase in burnout levels during an academic semester due to stressors including academic workload, clinical expectations, and/or research projects, among other factors. Objective To determine mood states and burnout levels among professional master's students during the middle and end of an academic semester. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Online survey. Patients or Other Participants The sample consisted of first and second year professional master's students (males = 11, females = 30, age = 23.39 ± 1.44 years) who attended Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education accredited athletic training programs. Interventions The independent variable was time (midsemester and end of semester). We sent the link to the online survey via e-mail to program directors and asked them to forward it to all students in the professional master's programs they led. Main Outcome Measure(s) The dependent variables were the subsets of burnout (depersonalization [DP], personal accomplishment, and emotional exhaustion [EE]) along with the overall mood state score. We used the modified 22 item Maslach Burnout Inventory and the modified 40 item Profile of Mood States. Results Burnout scores from the personal accomplishment subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory were statistically different between the 2 time points ({\rm{\chi }}_1^2 = 5.765, P = .016) in comparison to DP ({\rm{\chi }}_1^2 = 0.027, P = .869) and EE ({\rm{\chi }}_1^2 = 1.256, P = .262). For Profile of Mood States scores, the composite total mood disturbance score was not statistically different between the 2 time points ({\rm{\chi }}_1^2 = 0.200, P = .655). Conclusions Our findings indicated that, as a whole, high level stressors were reported from lack of personal accomplishment. Clinically, mood states were reported to not change from midsemester to end of the semester.

“…Three groups of authors 42,46,68 assessed burnout in ATSs, whereas 3 other groups 36,42,52 explored either perceived frustration or coping strategies. Upper-level students have reported significantly higher burnout scores than lowerlevel students, and most students experienced some level of burnout.…”

Objective To identify the causes, effects, and prevalence of burnout in athletic trainers (ATs) identified in the literature. Data Sources EBSCO: SPORTDiscus and OneSearch were accessed, using the search terms athletic trainer AND burnout. Study Selection Studies selected for inclusion were peer reviewed, published in a journal, and written in English and investigated prevalence, causes, effects, or alleviation of AT burnout. Data Extraction The initial search yielded 558 articles. Articles that did not specifically involve ATs were excluded from further inspection. The remaining 83 full-text articles were reviewed. Of these 83 articles, 48 examined prevalence, causes, effects, or alleviation of AT burnout. An evaluation of the bibliographies of those 48 articles revealed 3 additional articles that were not initially identified but met the inclusion criteria. In total, 51 articles were included in data collection. Data Synthesis Articles were categorized based on investigation of prevalence, causes, effects, or alleviation of burnout. Articles were also categorized based on which subset of the athletic training population they observed (ie, athletic training students, certified graduate assistants, high school or collegiate staff members, academic faculty). Conclusions Burnout was observed in all studied subsets of the population (ie, students, graduate assistants, staff, faculty), and multiple causes of burnout were reported. Suggested causes of burnout in ATs included work-life conflict and organizational factors such as poor salaries, long hours, and difficulties dealing with the “politics and bureaucracy” of athletics. Effects of burnout in ATs included physical, emotional, and behavioral concerns (eg, intention to leave the job or profession).

“…4 Only recently has socialization into the athletic training profession gained attention. 3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Issues surrounding career choice, 5 educational preparation, 13 student retention, 14 burnout, 15,17 and role strain 16 are among the most recent topics related to the socialization of athletic training students and current professionals. Findings in these areas are contributing to a greater understanding of how and why people choose to become ATs and the various obstacles students and professionals must overcome.…”
