Student-athlete well-being is a key objective for individuals working with or for university athletic departments. This paper will describe how a university athletic department used a team approach to enhancing student-athlete health and well-being. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Core Competencies of (1) Values and Ethics; (2) Roles and Responsibilities; (3) Communication; and (4) Teams and Teamwork provide a guiding framework for interprofessional collaboration. (IPC; Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2023). However, significant barriers exist in implementing IPC in university athletic departments and little research exists on how to overcome these barriers in university athletic departments to enhance student-athlete wellness. To address this gap, this paper will first provide a review of the literature on athlete well-being, followed by an applied section that describes the experience of an interprofessional wellness team (IWT) consisting of a clinical sports psychology doctoral student, a licensed mental health professional, an athletic trainer, and a sports dietitian. A case vignette is used to demonstrate how IPEC core competencies are operationalized by the team to address athlete health and well-being through IPC. Recommendations on the further implementation of IPC centered around student-athlete well-being will be provided.
对于在大学体育部门工作或为其工作的人员来说，学生运动员的福祉是一个关键目标。本文将描述一所大学体育部门如何采用团队方法来促进学生运动员的健康和福祉。跨专业教育协作组织（IPEC）的核心能力包括：（1）价值观与伦理；（2）角色与职责；（3）沟通；以及（4）团队与团队合作，为跨专业协作提供了一个指导框架（IPC；跨专业教育协作组织，2023年）。然而，在大学体育部门实施跨专业协作存在重大障碍，而且关于如何克服这些障碍以提高学生运动员健康水平的研究很少。为了填补这一空白，本文将首先对关于运动员福祉的文献进行综述，随后是一个应用部分，描述一个由临床运动心理学博士生、持牌心理健康专业人员、运动训练师和运动营养师组成的跨专业健康团队（IWT）的经验。一个案例 vignette 用于展示团队如何通过跨专业协作运用IPEC核心能力来解决运动员的健康和福祉问题。将提供围绕学生运动员福祉进一步实施跨专业协作的建议。
