Abstract

Objective: To better understand the stereotypes, both positive and negative, of the athletic training profession from the perspective of athletic training students and nursing students. Setting: Online survey Subjects: Athletic training students and nursing students participated in this study. Participants must have been enrolled in their respective professional program and participants were excluded if they were already a licensed professional or attended another institution. Data Collected and Analyzed: Using the Health Team Stereotype Scale (HTSS), a 54 pair bipolar adjective survey, athletic training students and nursing students completed the HTSS for how the participant perceived the profession of athletic training. Demographics from each participant were also collected. Results: Data collection is in progress. We hypothesized that more positive stereotypes would come from the athletic training students then from the nursing students regarding the profession of athletic training.
