Objective To describe the general characteristics of patients with acute chest pain in order to analyze factors associated with patients’utilization of emergency medical services (EMS).Methods A total of 747 eligible patients with acute chest pain admitted to emergency department of Qilu Hospital were consecutively enrolled from October 2014 to April 2015.Clinical data including demographic features, mode of arrival,past medical history,risk factors,symptoms and signs were collected prospectively by using standardized case report form.Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to investigate the association between the decision to use EMS and related factors including demographic features,past medical history,risk factors,symptoms and signs.Results Of the total 747 eligible patients,414 (55.4%)were male ,and the mean age was (57.2 ± 15.8)year;333 (44.6%)were female,and the mean age was (61.7 ±14.9)year.Of them,171 (22.9%)patients used EMS,and 143 chest pain patients with more than 75 years old were more inclined to use EMS (P <0.01),whereas 152 patients in 65 -75 years age group accounted for the lowest proportion of using EMS.Men were more inclined to use EMS than women (P <0.05),and 483 patients with typical chest pain used more EMS than patients with atypical chest pain (P <0.05);Of them,356 patients with a history of hypertension and 54 patients with a history of cerebral infarction were more inclined to use EMS (P <0.05 and P <0.01,respectively).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male,older than 75 years,history of cerebral infarction were independent factors associated with EMS use (P <0.05).Conclusions This study indicated that only less than one-third of emergency department visits with acute chest pain decide to use EMS when symptoms occurred. Factors including male,older than 75 years,and a history of cerebral infarction were associated with more use of EMS.In order to promote patient asking for EMS timely,more work should be done.

Objective To explore the perception and evaluation of patients with somatic symptom disorder about their own diseases and treatment,and to provide theoretical basis for design of illness percep-tion questionnaire for patients with somatic symptoms disorder. Methods A semi-structured interview was conducted among 15 initial and untreated patients with somatic symptom disorder using the descriptive quali-tative study. The data were sorted,encoded,classified,summarized and refined using MAXQDA10 software. Results Three main themes and six sub-themes of illness perception in patients with somatic symptom dis-order were analyzed and sorted out:(1) symptom recognition:including three sub-themes,low understanding of the disease and denial of somatic symptoms as mental illness;(2)drug taking concerns:including two sub-themes worrying about side effects of drugs,drug addiction and having difficulty to stick to the long-term reg-ular medication;(3)emotional reaction:including the obvious negative emotions of depression and helpless-ness sub-theme. Conclusion Patients with somatic symptom disorder have a general bias in illness percep-tion,which has a potential adverse effect on treatment compliance. Therefore,it is necessary for clinical med-ical staff to early estimate patients’illness perception,and carry out mental health education and rational e-motional behavior therapy.
