Objective The kinetic house tree person test has many advantages compare to traditional psychometrics,but also some limits such as scoring subjectively and ambiguous.This research attempted to develop a reliable scoring system.That can distinguish college students with emotional disorder from normal college students by employing kinetic house tree person (KHTP) drawings.Methods 143 College students were invited to partake in the research KHTP drawings,the Beck Depression Inventory Ⅱ (BDI-Ⅱ),the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to the subjects.Undergraduates with a BDI score of ≥ 14 or a BAI score of ≥8 were classified as the clinical group,while those with a BDI-Ⅱ and a BAI score are minimal were classified as the controis.The researcher and an expert studied and analyzed the KHTP drawings Manual,filtrate 35 indicators correlate to emotional disorder,and then researcher make standard for evaluation of every indicator.The standard for evaluation were then revised by the researcher and another rater then finalized by the expert.Results The results showed that 35 indicators correlate to emotional disorder were found,and there were significant differences in facial expressions (x2 =19.109,P<0.01) and actions (x2 =13.341,P< 0.01) between clinical group and normal group.The Pearson coefficient of concordance showed that the inter-rater reliability and inner-rater reliability was consistent(r=0.932,r=0.913,P<0.01).The t-test was employed to verify the discriminant validity between the clinical and control groups.The result showed that a significant discriminant validity was found with the scoring system developed in this research(t=14.890,P<0.01).Conclusion The scoring system developed from this study has good inter-rater reliability,inner-rater reliability and discriminant validity.

Objective To construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of pressure injuries (PI) in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Clinical data of mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 1, 2020 to March 15, 2023 were retrospectively collected as the training set, and data from ICU of the same hospital from October 1, 2023 to December 11, 2023 were collected as the external validation set. Risk variables for PI were selected using LASSO regression and Cox proportional hazards model, and a nomogram model was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the model. Calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the model’s calibration and clinical applicability. The external validation was performed using the validation set data. Results A total of 580 mechanically ventilated patients were included in the training set, with 84 cases (14.5%) of PI. LASSO regression and Cox proportional hazards model selected 10 variables to construct the nomogram model. The ROC curve showed an AUC of 0.830 for predicting PI in mechanically ventilated patients. Calibration curve and DCA indicated good calibration and predictive performance of the model. The external validation set included 100 patients, with 12 cases of PI, and the AUC was 0.870. Calibration curve and DCA showed good model performance. Conclusions The nomogram model based on LASSO-Cox regression has good predictive performance and can be used to screen high-risk population for PI in mechanically ventilated patients.
