An examination of athletic trainers' occupational recovery experiences during time after work
Context:
Although researchers have directed scholars toward investigating the effectiveness of the nonwork personal time of athletic trainers (ATs), no one has characterized the occupational recovery experiences of ATs.
Objective:
To examine the reliability and validity of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire (REQ) for use in AT populations.
Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Setting:
Web-based survey.
Patients or Other Participants:
A total of 144 ATs (71 men, 73 women) working in a variety of National Collegiate Athletic Association sports across all levels of competition.
Main Outcome Measure(s):
The REQ was administered to assess the AT recovery experience.
Results:
Preliminary evidence emerged for the reliability (? = 0.80-0.90) and validity of the REQ for use in AT populations. Weak linear relationships were identified between stress and perceptions of psychological detachment (r = -0.314, P < .001), mastery (r = -0.179, P = .32), control (r = -0.284, P = .001), and relaxation (r = -0.157, P = .06).
Conclusions:
Our results support measuring and applying occupational recovery for AT stress and work-life balance. Given that occupational recovery as a construct was only weakly related to stress, it is clearly a unique and distinct variable worth considering within the work-life balance line of inquiry.
