Objective To establish a practicable and easily mastered emergency department overcrowding (EDO) assessment system suitable for domestic ED setting by determining the validity and usefulness of the national emergency department over-crowding study (NEDOCS) tool in a 2000-bed tertiary care academic institution in China in comparison with visual analogue scale (VAS) in order to address the worldwide grave concern of EDO.Methods In a period of 6 months,data of subjective and objective EDO assessed simultaneously three times a day (1:00,9:00,17:00) were collected.The data were analyzed by using Bland-altmann method and Kappa test to determine the coincidence between VAS and NEDOCS assessments.Results The VAS-p value evaluated by physicians was significantly lower than VAS-n value evaluated by nurses [(6.49 ± 1.82) vs.(7.12 ± 1.78),P < 0.01].The reliability analysis showed that Kappa value was as low as 0.112 (P <0.01) suggesting there was a great discrepancy between VAS-p value and VAS-n value.VAS-m (average value of VAS-p and VAS-n) was taken for comparing different evaluation systems.The significant correlation was found between the VAS-m and NEDOCS (r =0.7l4,P <0.01).However,the Bland-Altman plot showed the 95% limit of coincidence was in an extensive range (-32.47 to 71.42) suggesting discrepancy existed between two methods.Conclusions The present study suggested there was a significant discrepancy between the two subjective assessments of ED crowding (VAS-p vs.VAS-n).There might be a fatal flaw existed in the assumptions of the original VAS method for EDO measurement.Using the Bland-Altman plot analysis,the results showed that NEDOCS did not authentically reflect the staff' s sense of overcrowding in the ED.It is very important and urgent to establish an objective and effective EDO evaluation system for ED management.

Objective To find out parental locus of control and mental health affecting students test anxiety. Methods The samples were from 5 middle schools including 1000 students,and their parents. They were investigated with the general life scales, Sarason's test anxiety scale, Symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)and Parenting Locus of Control Scale(PLOC). Results The ratio of test anxiety: the mild was 28.8%, moderate was 45.0%, severe was 26.2% ,and felt anxiety was 55.8%. Ratio of test anxiety was higher in the boy students (X2=9.284, P =0.010) ,and heavier(F:16.42±6.70; M:15.18 ±6.51, t=2.716, P=0.007). Student test anxiety was significantly positively correlated with their parental mental health (r fatherl~11=0.166~0.272, Pfather l~11= 0.000;r mother 1~11=0.182~0.242, P mother 1~11= 0.000); Student test anxiety positively correlated with the effectiveness cof parents education, father's belief on the fate, eontrol of fathers for their children, locus of control from fathers (r1~5=0.075~0.143; P1-5=0.000~0.030);felt anxiety positively correlated with self-expect ,pressure from their mothers,over take care attitude from their parents,self-pressure from their parents( r1~6=0.068~0.230; P1-6=0.000~0.050) ,and negatively correlated with respect attitude of parents for their child, Marital relations,Communication time between the students and their parents,attitude of mother for learning( r1-7=-0.074~-0.140;P1~7=0.000~0.034). Felting test anxiety was served as a dependent factor, some factors enter the regression equation,and they were somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother over expectations, self-expectations ,the child control from student's father by Logistic regression analysis ( OR1~16=0.675~3.029;P1-6=0.000~0.007). Conclusion Students test anxiety is a common problem in male and female students. Mental health and locus of control from students' parents show test anxiety has somatization of father, psychotic mother, the pressure from parents, mother' expectations,self-expectations, the control of father for the child 6 risk factors.
