Study Significance The significance of this study is to determine if patients can communicate the level of psychological pain using the level of agitation as a surrogate marker. Studies have demonstrated that the staff's assessment of a patient's level of agitation is not based on an agitation scale nor uses any patient self-assessment of their level of agitation. If a self-assessment of a patient's level of agitation can be determined early in their care in the emergency setting, a proactive approach to treatment can occur. Proactive agitation treatment has the potential of reducing a patient's agitation and increasing their level of comfort. This early intervention can reduce the progression of agitation and the risk of injury to patients, families and staff.
