Abstract

Our purpose was to explore the degree to which secondary school athletic trainers (SSATs) perceive they are integrating the principles of patient-centered care (PCC) and the biopsychosocial (BPS) model in their practice. We used a cross-sectional design to explore the primary research question. We used the Global Perceptions of Athletic Trainer Patient-Centered Care (GPATPCC) tool and the Biopsychosocial Model of Health (BPSMH) tool, both measured on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = agree, 4 = strongly agree, with an unscored “unsure” option). We sent the survey to 5665 SSATs through the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Results indicate participants expressed strong agreement (mode = 4) with 7 of the 14 statements and agreement (mode = 3) with the remaining 7 statements of the GPATPCC tool (grand mean = 3.4 ± 0.8). Overall, participants rated their level of agreement on the BPSMH as agreeing (mode = 3) for each item (grand mean = 3.0 ± 1.0). SSATs perceive they are integrating the principles of PCC and the BPS model in clinical practice. These findings align with two previous studies concluding that patients, parents, and providers believe athletic trainers provide care that is focused on whole-person healthcare.
