BackgroundLittle is known about the work-related injury and diseases experienced by certified athletic trainers（AT）.MethodsThe incidence and characteristics of injury/disease claims filled in two workers' compensation systems were described from 2001 to 2011.每年处于危险中的人口是根据国家体育教练协会的会员统计数据估计的。发病率比（IRR）报告的工作setting.ResultsClaims主要是创伤性损伤和疾病（82.7%：45.7%扭伤/应变，12.0%开放性伤口，6.5%瘀伤），并在这些身体部位（背部17.2%，手指12.3%，膝盖9.6%），超过一半是由身体运动和过度劳累（51.5%）。与学校环境相比，诊所/医院环境的索赔率略高（IRR = 1.29，95% CI：1.06-1.52），而其他环境（例如，专业或青年体育，疗养院）有较低的索赔率（IRR = 0.63，95%CI：0.44-0.70）。结论这些第一次已知的估计与工作有关的伤害/疾病之间不断增长的医疗保健专业帮助确定职业任务和设置施加伤害风险的AT。Am.

BackgroundLittle is known about the work‐related injury and illnesses experienced by certified athletic trainers (AT).MethodsThe incidence and characteristics of injury/illness claims filed in two workers’ compensation systems were described from 2001 to 2011. Yearly populations at risk were estimated from National Athletic Trainers’ Association membership statistics. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were reported by job setting.ResultsClaims were predominantly for traumatic injuries and disorders (82.7%: 45.7% sprains/strains, 12.0% open wounds, 6.5% bruises) and at these body sites (back 17.2%, fingers 12.3%, and knee 9.6%) and over half were caused by body motion and overexertion (51.5%). Compared with school settings, clinic/hospital settings had modestly higher claim rates (IRR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.06–1.52) while other settings (e.g., professional or youth sport, nursing home) had lower claim rates (IRR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.44–0.70).ConclusionsThese first known estimates of work‐related injuries/illnesses among a growing healthcare profession help identify occupational tasks and settings imposing injury risk for ATs.
