The existing investigations of professional burnout among certified athletic trainers (ATs) were conducted before 2000. Since 2000, several educational and legal changes have redefined the job duties and responsibilities of the AT working in collegiate athletics.
To develop an instrument to determine factors that contribute to burnout in ATs employed within the collegiate athletics setting.
Descriptive study.
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-A universities.
Instrument design experts and ATs employed in various NCAA Division I-A athletic programs.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The Athletic Training Burnout Inventory (ATBI) included the Maslach Burnout Inventory (18 items) plus 45 new items to address established factors that lead to burnout and to address workload issues specific to athletic training. We initially developed 3 constructs (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, level of stress, and level of organizational support) and included them in the 2 field tests and first pilot test of the ATBI. For the second pilot test, the instrument comprised 4 constructs: emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, administrative responsibility, time commitment, and organizational support. The 2 field tests were conducted to establish face and content validity of the ATBI. Reliability analyses were conducted twice on the 2 separate pilot tests using a Cronbach alpha set a priori at .70 and an item-to-total correlation.
The second pilot test of the ATBI with the 4 constructs was determined reliable (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, alpha = .85; administrative responsibility, alpha = .82; time commitment, alpha = .86; and organizational support, alpha = .80); however, some items within 2 constructs appeared suspect with low item-to-total correlations (<0.25).
The second administration of the ATBI produced an acceptable response rate. All 4 constructs were reliable; however, the suspect items within the constructs need further investigation. Researchers need to evaluate the conceptual worth of these items to the entire instrument.
对认证运动训练师（AT）职业倦怠的现有调查是在2000年之前进行的。自2000年以来，一些教育和法律方面的变化重新定义了在大学体育赛事中工作的AT的工作职责。
开发一种工具，以确定导致大学体育赛事中AT职业倦怠的因素。
描述性研究。
美国国家大学体育协会（NCAA）第一分区甲级大学。
工具设计专家以及受雇于各种NCAA第一分区甲级体育项目的AT。
运动训练职业倦怠量表（ATBI）包括马氏职业倦怠量表（18项）以及45项新条目，以涵盖导致职业倦怠的既定因素，并解决运动训练特有的工作量问题。我们最初开发了3个结构（情感耗竭与去个性化、压力水平和组织支持水平），并将它们纳入ATBI的2次现场测试和首次预测试中。在第二次预测试中，该工具包括4个结构：情感耗竭与去个性化、行政责任、时间投入和组织支持。进行了2次现场测试以确立ATBI的表面效度和内容效度。在2次单独的预测试中，使用先验设定为0.70的克朗巴哈系数和项目与总分相关性进行了两次信度分析。
对具有4个结构的ATBI进行的第二次预测试确定是可靠的（情感耗竭与去个性化，系数=0.85；行政责任，系数=0.82；时间投入，系数=0.86；组织支持，系数=0.80）；然而，2个结构中的一些条目显示可疑，项目与总分相关性较低（<0.25）。
ATBI的第二次施测产生了可接受的应答率。所有4个结构都是可靠的；然而，各结构中可疑的条目需要进一步调查。研究人员需要评估这些条目对整个工具的概念价值。
