Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Professional Development
Qualitative Research

Background:

Limited research exists on athletic trainers' (ATs) perceptions of professionalism.
Understanding these perceptions is crucial for professional development.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the lived experiences of ATs and their perceptions of professionalism.
Investigate factors influencing ATs' views on professional conduct.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study utilizing semistructured interviews with 17 certified athletic trainers.
Data analysis involved verbatim transcription, a 3-person coding team, member checking, auditing, and triangulation for trustworthiness.

Main Results:

Professionalism perceptions are influenced by the work environment, outward appearance, self-expression, and implicit biases (sex, race, ethnicity).
Cultural awareness, evolving perceptions over time, and external pressures also play a role.
Communication (verbal and nonverbal) and patient care are key components of perceived professionalism.

Conclusions:

Athletic trainers' views on professionalism are shaped by diverse lived experiences.
Outdated professionalism ideals require reevaluation to support a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive athletic training profession.
