a) Discuss Worth & Value. How do you view these concepts? How do you feel athletic trainers can better understand their worth and value? What other stakeholders could benefit from an enhanced understanding?
Worth and Value contribute to everyones skill set, and overall their life quality. Worth describes the monetary value of something. So the worth of an athletic trainer would be the monetary value of the care that they provide. Value is something different, and is harder to describe. Value is more like an appreciation value. In terms of an athletic trainer, their value could be more or less than their worth. For a good athletic trainer, their value would be more than their worth. What I mean by a "good" AT is someone that genuinely cares about their patients, and their patients believe that they are doing all they can to help them. I think athletic trainers can better understand their worth and value by how their patients react to whatever they are doing in the clinic. It isn't hard to tell when patients do not believe they are getting the best care from their clinician. It is also fairly easy to determine worth and value by patient outcomes. I would say that good patient outcomes is a good measure for and athletic trainer's value. I believe that patients could also benefit from knowing their clinician's worth and value. They could see how much that clinician really cares about them, and the clinician could gain more "value" in the patients eyes. Leave a Reply. |
