Orientation Process for Newly Credentialed Athletic Trainers in the Transition to Practice.

Abstract：

CONTEXT: Orientation is an important part of socialization and transition to practice, yet the orientation process for newly credentialed athletic trainers (ATs) is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine how newly credentialed ATs are oriented to their roles. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Online survey. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred thirty-two of 1835 newly credentialed ATs (18%) certified and employed between January and September of 2013 completed the survey (129 men, 203 women; age = 23.58 ± 2.54 years). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: The survey consisted of demographic information (eg, employment setting, job title) and 2 sections: (1) orientation tactics and (2) usefulness of orientation tactics. For the first section, participants identified if various orientation tactics were included in their orientations (eg, policies and procedures review). For the second section, participants identified how useful each orientation tactic was on a Likert scale (1 = not useful, 4 = very useful). Descriptive statistics were calculated for each survey item. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to determine differences between demographic characteristics and orientation tactics. A Bonferroni correction accounted for multiple comparisons. A panel of experts established the content validity of the survey. The Cronbach α was used to establish internal consistency (α = 0.802) Results: The most common orientation tactics were meeting with supervisors (n = 276, 82.9%) and staff members (eg, coaches; n = 266, 79.9%) and learning responsibilities (n = 254, 76.2%). The least common orientation tactics were simulation of the emergency action plan (n = 66, 19.8%) and preceptor development (n = 71, 21.3%); however, preceptor development was not applicable to many participants. The most useful orientation tactics were simulating the emergency action plan (3.45/4.0) and meeting with staff members (3.44/4.0). Participants who felt their orientation prepared them for their roles were exposed to more tactics during orientation (Mann-Whitney U = 17 212, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Many tactics were used to orient newly credentialed ATs to their roles, but orientations varied based on the practice setting.
