|a Context: NATA position statements are based in science, drawing from peer-reviewed research on a variety of subjects (NATA, 1950). Although these position statements are in place to provide the proper development, preparation, and implementation of EAPs, there is no governing body regulating the compliance of a given institution to the recommendations set forth in the NATA position statement on emergency planning in athletics. Without someone to hold universities accountable to adhere to the recommended standards, universities have no impetus to follow them diligently. Currently, in the field of Athletic Training there is a lack of research about the compliance of EAPs and how closely universities follow the criteria outlined by NATA. Setting: Data was collected in collegiate institutions only. Objective: To determine the compliance of collegiate universities in following NATA guidelines for “Emergency Planning in Athletics” established in 2002. Patients or other participants: A total of 151 participants (75 [49.6% male and 76 [50.3%] female), were recruited using the National Athletic Trainer’s Association email database. Any athletic trainer who worked outside of the collegiate setting was excluded from the study. The response rate was (15.1%). Intervention: Data was collected using the web-based survey instrument, Qualtrics, consisting of 9 sections: (1) demographics, (2) general questions, (3) rehearsal, (4) communication, (5) emergency team and sports medicine staff, (6) equipment and supplies, (7) emergency transportation, (8) documentation, and (9) risk manager. Main Outcome Measure: Data analysis was run to determine level of compliance amongst the respondents. Results: For the sake of this study the benchmark for compliancy was set at 80%. None of the athletic trainers that responded were 100% compliant let alone 80% compliant with the position statement. When NCAA divisions I and II were combined and compared to the remainder of the institutions (NCAA division III, NAIA and NCCAA), there were significantly more institutions in compliance in division I and II at the 43% compliance level. Conclusion: Based on the findings universities are not compliant with the NATA position statement on emergency planning in athletics. Development of an EAP, rehearsal of the EAP in addition to the availability of appropriate medical equipment at sporting events will ensure that the safety and treatment conditions of all fans and athletes are of the highest priority. Until these policies and procedures are the standard level of preparedness being enforced, universities will remain non-compliant and at legal liability. Key words: Athletic Trainer, Emergency Action Plan (EAP), National Athletic Trainers Association (NATA), and Compliance |
