Abstract:
Convergent experimental data, autobiographical studies, and investigations on daily life have all demonstrated that gathering information retrospectively is a highly dubious methodology. Retrospection is subject to multiple systematic distortions (i.e., affective valence effect, mood congruent memory effect, duration neglect; peak end rule) as it is based on (often biased) storage and recollection of memories of the original experience or the behavior that are of interest. The method of choice to circumvent these biases is the use of electronic diaries to collect self-reported symptoms, behaviors, or physiological processes in real time. Different terms have been used for this kind of methodology: ambulatory assessment, ecological momentary assessment, experience sampling method, and real-time data capture. Even though the terms differ, they have in common the use of computer-assisted methodology to assess self-reported symptoms, behaviors, or physiological processes, while the participant undergoes normal daily activities. In this review we discuss the main features and advantages of ambulatory assessment regarding clinical psychology and psychiatry: (a) the use of realtime assessment to circumvent biased recollection, (b) assessment in real life to enhance generalizability, (c) repeated assessment to investigate within person processes, (d) multimodal assessment, including psychological, physiological and behavioral data, (e) the opportunity to assess and investigate context-specific relationships, and (f) the possibility of giving feedback in real time. Using prototypic examples from the literature of clinical psychology and psychiatry, we demonstrate that ambulatory assessment can answer specific research questions better than laboratory or questionnaire studies.

Abstract:
Ambulatory assessment represents a powerful research tool in lifespan psychology because it allows assessing the within-person variability of developmental processes as it occurs within context-specific influences of people’s natural environments. Following a discussion of historical origins, we review four current research themes in developmentally relevant ambulatory assessment studies that use electronic devices as assessment instruments: (a) affective-motivational development, (b) social contexts of development, (c) age-related challenges and everyday functioning, and (d) cognitive development. Overall, the reviewed research demonstrates that ambulatory assessment complements traditional developmental study designs and laboratory assessments in important ways. Acknowledging the strengths and limitations of ambulatory assessment approaches, we propose that ambulatory assessment will benefit lifespan psychology most if it becomes an integral part of multimethod investigations of developmental phenomena that balance the external and internal validity of findings. Future research should strengthen the lifespan perspective in ambulatory assessment approaches, combine multiple indicators (subjective and objective) of successful development, and attend to the fact that individual development often interacts with significant others.

Abstract:
Neuropsychological disorders involve a variety of symptoms that often lead to substantial functional impairments in daily life. Research, assessment, and treatment should include a reference to daily life, considering symptoms, personality, and life circumstances of the individual patient. Ambulatory assessment methodology provides progress by avoiding retrospective memory-based bias, increasing ecological validity, and by generating individual time series that permit idiographic analysis. Using multiple sclerosis as an example, we illustrate new findings generated by ambulatory assessment studies in the areas of fatigue, stress and cognitive functions, and we demonstrate future opportunities presented by ambulatory assessment methodology to research and clinical practice with multiple sclerosis patients.

Abstract:
Mobile technologies are increasingly used to measure cognitive function outside of traditional clinic and laboratory settings. Although ambulatory assessments of cognitive function conducted in people’s natural environments offer potential advantages over traditional assessment approaches, the psychometrics of cognitive assessment procedures have been understudied. We evaluated the reliability and construct validity of ambulatory assessments of working memory and perceptual speed administered via smartphones as part of an ecological momentary assessment protocol in a diverse adult sample ( N = 219). Results indicated excellent between-person reliability (≥0.97) for average scores, and evidence of reliable within-person variability across measurement occasions (0.41-0.53). The ambulatory tasks also exhibited construct validity, as evidence by their loadings on working memory and perceptual speed factors defined by the in-lab assessments. Our findings demonstrate that averaging across brief cognitive assessments made in uncontrolled naturalistic settings provide measurements that are comparable in reliability to assessments made in controlled laboratory environments.

Abstract:
Introduction: The National Health Assessment System is a system designed by the Portuguese Health Regulatory Entity in order to evaluate the overall quality of the health care institutions. One of the key areas evaluated by the National Health Assessment System is ambulatory surgery. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the introduction of the National Health Assessment System evaluation at our ambulatory centre not only improved the overall quality of ambulatory surgery but also the quality of the clinical record entries.Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed from the hospital’s clinical database. The study was carried out at the ambulatory centre of the Hospital and University Centre of Porto, and included 100 consecutive surgical procedures, across all surgical specialties, previously selected by the National Health Assessment System audit performed in 2015 in our ambulatory surgery centre and other 46 surgical procedures performed in 2008 at our hospital, before the National Health Assessment System was implemented. The main outcome measure was the validation and record of the seven indicators of National Health Assessment System for ambulatory surgery.Results: We have seen an improvement in all indicators after the National Health Assessment System implementation, except for criterion 4.Discussion: Our study demonstrates that the introduction of the National Health Assessment System in our ambulatory centre resulted in the improvement in the quality of both of clinical practice, and clinical record keepingConclusion: We can conclude that the application of evaluation of quality indicators and benchmarking practices can be used to enhance healthcare outcomes.

Abstract:
Ambulatory assessment of emotional states as well as psychophysiological, cognitive and behavioral reactions constitutes an approach, which is increasingly being used in psychological research. Due to new developments in the field of information and communication technologies and an improved application of mobile physiological sensors, various new systems have been introduced. Methods of experience sampling allow to assess dynamic changes of subjective evaluations in real time and new sensor technologies permit a measurement of physiological responses. In addition, new technologies facilitate the interactive assessment of subjective, physiological, and behavioral data in real-time. Here, we describe these recent developments from the perspective of engineering science and discuss potential applications in the field of neuropsychology.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was twofold: to test the Competence Model for Normal Aging and to generate valid and reliable indices of mental health outcomes in elderly clients. A correlational descriptive design accommodated the psychometric assessment of the instruments with a causal modeling methodology. The relationship between competence and self-esteem was the primary focus. Theoretical model testing was used to test the causal relationships between competence and three estimates of cognition: causal attributions, self-efficacy, and value. Associated demographic variables, age, and gender, were included in the model. Well elders (n = 137) living independently in Tucson participated in the study by completing 9 instruments within a 40-minute testing period. The mean age of the group was 73 (sd = 7.9). A quarter of the sample was at least 80 years old. All participants were caucasian, with more than twice the number of females than males. Most participants were married or widowed. The instruments met validity and reliability criteria in varying degrees. Hypothesis 1 was supported in both the separate success and failure models and the total sample theoretical model. Self-efficacy (β = .48) and value (β = .27) predicted competence (R² = .42). The social subscale of competence was strongly predicted by the same variables (β = .53, β = .26; R² = .39). The same predictors were evident in the total sample theoretical model (β = .52; β = .25; R² = .38). Hypothesis 2 was partially supported. Self-efficacy predicted total competence (β = .49; R² = .30) and the social dimension of competence (β = .59; R² = .32). Hypothesis 2 was minimally supported in the total sample theoretical model by self-efficacy (β = .29) predicting the social component of competence (R² = .44). Hypothesis 3 was most strongly supported. Competence predicted self-esteem under multiple conditions (βs averaged .43). The associated demographic and gender variables made minimal contributions to the model, except under failure conditions. Not being married and being a male negatively impacted upon competence (β = -.21; β = -.39; R² = .31). Both theoretical and empirical model results have similar explained variances. The theoretical model provided key information regarding the process of self-esteem, and the empirical model provided a guide for clinicians to measure mental health outcomes.

Class of 2014 Abstract
Specific Aims: The purpose of this study is to compare frequency of pharmacy services available in ambulatory care practice between adult and pediatric populations and to identify factors that affect the availability of such practice settings between the two populations in the United States. Methods: This study was a descriptive survey study that was distributed nationally. Participants were recruited using two electronic listservs registered with the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP), the Pediatric PRN listserv and Ambulatory Care PRN listserv. A total of 126 participants completed and submitted the electronic questionnaire. This descriptive survey study collected data through an online questionnaire distributed to adult and pediatric ambulatory care pharmacists. Descriptive variables, demographic variables, categorical variables, and ordinal data were analyzed by calculating frequencies, percentages, and averages. Main Results: The majority of participants specialize in diabetes (n = 51, 40.5%), anticoagulation (n=42, 33.3%), hypertension (n=42, 33.3%), hyperlipidemia (n=40, 31.8%), and asthma (n=32, 25.4%). Adult care was greater than pediatric care in diabetes (Adult: n=54, 42.83%; Ped: n=14, 9.53%), anticoagulation (Adult: n=46, 43.66%; Ped: n=6, 4.76%), hypertension (Adult: n=44, 34.94%; Ped: n=8, 6.34%), hyperlipidemia (Adult: n=42, 33.34%; Ped: n=3, 2.39%), and asthma (Adult: n=35, 27.78%; Ped: n=28, 22.23%). Averages of 4.88 hours of hours per week and 5.21 years of experience were obtained for provision of pediatric care in the ambulatory care setting. Conclusion: In conclusion, availability of ambulatory care services for pediatric patients is dramatically less than those available for adults. Generalized structure for location of clinics, billing for services, and funding for positions may increase the opportunity for provision of adult and pediatric ambulatory care services.

Abstract:
OBJETIVOS Esta tesis pretende desarrollar una herramienta de fácil aplicación, fiable, consistente y no invasiva que sea capaz de evaluar el estatus del sistema circadiano. Para conseguir este objetivo, se plantearon los siguientes objetivos específicos: 1. Crear un algoritmo para la evaluación ambulatoria y no invasiva del sistema circadiano mediante la integración de los ritmos de temperatura periférica, actividad motora y posición corporal en la variable compuesta TAP. 2. Validar la variable integrada TAP para la detección de sueño y vigilia en comparación con el gold standard para este propósito, la polisomnografía. Además, se pretende comprobar si TAP mejora la detección de sueño con respecto a las estimaciones obtenidas mediante la actigrafía convencional. 3. Transferir la utilidad de TAP, implementada en un dispositivo de registro ambulatorio en una patente internacional. 4. Evaluar la validez de la variable TAP para la detección de alteraciones circadianas en condiciones patológicas: 4.1. Revisar los conocimientos previos sobre cáncer y ritmos circadianos, prestando especial atención a los tratamientos que tienen en cuenta el sistema circadiano. 4.2. Estudiar las diferencias interindividuales del ritmo de actividad-reposo que podrían potencialmente afectar el resultado del tratamiento en pacientes de cáncer. 4.3. Evaluar cómo los tratamientos cronomodulados afectan la sincronización interna de diferentes ritmos circadianos en pacientes de cáncer. 4.4. Evaluar las perturbaciones circadianas de sujetos con deterioro cognitivo leve con el fin de establecer la utilidad de la variable TAP para evaluar objetivamente la progresión de la enfermedad. METODOLOGÍA En esta tesis, se evaluaron tres ritmos y procesaron con el fin de obtener la variable TAP que después se aplicó en varias condiciones de salud y enfermedad. Ritmo de temperatura Este ritmo se evaluó mediante un sensor de temperatura (Thermochron iButton DS1921H, Dallas, Maxim) cosido a una muñequera de modo que la superficie del sensor quedara en contacto con la arteria radial de la muñeca de la mano no dominante. Ritmo de actividad motora y posición corporal Estos ritmos se evaluaron gracias a un actímetro (Hobo Pendant G Acceleration Data Logger, Massachusetts, USA) colocado en el brazo no dominante mediante un brazalete deportivo. De la información proporcionada por el actímetro, se definieron 2 variables: actividad motora, expresada como grados de cambio de posición y posición corporal, definida como el ángulo entre el eje X y el plano horizontal. Procesamiento de los datos Cada variable se normalizó entre 0 y 1 después de haber eliminado los artefactos mediante inspección visual de los datos. Además, los datos de temperatura se invirtieron de modo que los valores máximos de todas las variables coincidieran en el mismo momento. Después, calculamos la media de las variables normalizadas para cada sujeto obteniendo la variable TAP cuyos valores varían entre 0 (para periodos de reposo) y 1 (para periodos activos). CONCLUSIÓN GENERAL La monitorización circadiana ambulatoria, no invasiva y fiable del estado funcional del sistema circadiano humano es un procedimiento muy útil para la prognosis de ciertas enfermedades como cáncer, deterioro cognitivo leve y perturbaciones del sueño. La monitorización conjunta y la integración de varias salidas del reloj biológico mejora la consistencia de los resultados y facilita la evaluación de la desincronización interna entre diferentes variables rítmicas. De este modo, la variable TAP, basada en la integración de los ritmos de Temperatura periférica, Actividad motora y Posición corporal, ha superado las premisas de alta fiabilidad, aceptación y versatilidad para el estudio ambulatorio y prolongado del estado del sistema circadiano humano en muy distintas situaciones de salud y enfermedad. Además, ha sido posible implementar este algoritmo en un dispositivo bajo patente internacional.
OBJECTIVES This thesis aims to develop a reliable, consistent, non-invasive and easily applied tool based on multivariable recordings, able to depict circadian system status and circadian rhythmic synchrony in humans. In order to pursue this final goal, the following specific objectives were determined: 1. To create a multivariable tool able to reliably and non-invasively ambulatory assess the circadian system status by integrating wrist temperature, motor activity and body position rhythms into the composite TAP variable. 2. To validate this integrated variable for sleep and wake detection against the gold standard for this purpose, the polysomnography and test if TAP improves the detection from that obtained with actigraphy alone. 3. To test the validity of TAP variable in specific pathological conditions with known circadian impairments: 3.1. To review, the previous knowledge on cancer and circadian rhythms, as well as circadian-based treatments for this disease. 3.2. To study the inter-individual differences in rest-activity rhythm, that could potentially affect treatment outcome, in colorectal cancer patients. 3.3. To assess how chronomodulated treatment affects internal synchronization on cancer patients by multivariable recordings. 3.4. To evaluate circadian disturbances in mild cognitively impaired subjects, a previous condition to Alzheimer’s Disease, in order to establish its potential usefulness to objectively assess the disease progression. 4. To transfer the usefulness of TAP implemented in an ambulatory monitoring device for its clinical application and its potential commercialization by an international patent. METHODOLOGY In these PhD, three rhythms were recorded and processed as to obtain an integrated variable TAP in several conditions of health and disease. Temperature rhythm The wrist temperature rhythm was assessed using a temperature sensor (Thermochron iButton DS1921H, Dallas, Maxim) attached to a double-sided cotton sport wrist band, and the sensor surface was placed over the inside of the wrist on the radial artery of the non-dominant hand. Body position and rest-activity rhythm The body position and rest-activity rhythm was assessed using an actimeter (Hobo Pendant G Acceleration Data Logger, Massachusetts, USA) placed on the non-dominant arm by means of a sports band, with its X-axis parallel to the humerus bone. From the information provided by the actimeter, we defined 2 variables: motor activity (A) and body position (P). Motor activity was expressed as degrees of change in position. Body position was calculated as the angle between the X-axis of the actimeter and a horizontal plane. Thus, P oscillated between 0º for maximum horizontality and 90º for maximum verticality. Data processing Each variable was normalized between 0 and 1, after removing artifacts identified by visual inspection of the data. In addition, wrist temperature data were inverted in such a way that maximum values for all variables occurred at the same time. We then calculated the mean of the normalized variables for each subject, obtaining TAP values which range between 0 (for rest periods) and 1 (for active periods). GENERAL CONCLUSION The reliable ambulatory monitoring of circadian system in humans has proven very relevant for disease prognosis in such conditions as cancer, mild cognitive impairments and sleep disturbances. The joint recording and following integration of several clock outputs increase results’ consistency as isolated variable artifacts are minimized by the integration of several variables and enables the calculation of internal desynchronization among different rhythmic variables. TAP, integration of wrist Temperature, motor Activity and body Position rhythms, has supported the premises of high reliability, acceptance and versatility for the long-period ambulatory study of human circadian system status under several conditions of health and disease. Thus, these positive results have facilitated the implementation of TAP’s algorithm in a new device for ambulatory monitoring and registered in an international patent, already in exploitation.

Class of 2009 Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess patients’ satisfaction with pharmaceutical care services provided in a community health center diabetes management clinic. METHODS: Patients who received diabetes-related pharmaceutical services from the clinical pharmacist at El Rio Health Center in Tucson, Arizona from November 2008 to January 2009 were contacted during a visit to the diabetes clinic and asked to complete the consumer assessment of pharmaceutical services questionnaire. The questionnaire included 14 likert-type items with response options ranging from “Never” to “Always” or “Disagree” to “Agree.” In addition, the patient’s most recent hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1C) was obtained from the electronic medical record. The survey instrument was also translated from English to Spanish to serve the Hispanic participants who could not communicate fluently in English. A descriptive cross-sectional analysis was completed in order to assess patient satisfaction. Dependent variables extracted from the survey were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test. Interval and ratio data were analyzed by calculating means, standard deviations, and an independent t-test. Nominal data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. RESULTS: A total of 46 patients completed the questionnaires, including 17 men and 29 women (mean age = 56, SD = 11.3, 80% Hispanic). All patients had seen the clinical pharmacist at least 3 times. Overall, this study showed that majority of the patients were satisfied with the service provided in the clinic. There was no statistically significant difference between English and Spanish patient populations in terms of satisfaction with pharmaceutical services provided about their disease management. CONCLUSIONS: Patients in this clinic were highly satisfied with the pharmaceutical care services provided by the clinical pharmacist.

Abstract:
This article reviews the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR) as an ambulatory ecological momentary assessment tool for the real-world observation of daily behavior. Technically, the EAR is an audio recorder that intermittently records snippets of ambient sounds while participants go about their lives. Conceptually, it is a naturalistic observation method that yields an acoustic log of a person’s day as it unfolds. The power of the EAR lies in unobtrusively collecting authentic real-life observational data. In preserving a high degree of naturalism at the level of the raw recordings, it resembles ethnographic methods; through its sampling and coding, it enables larger empirical studies. This article provides an overview of the EAR method; reviews its validity, utility, and limitations; and discusses it in the context of current developments in ambulatory assessment, specifically the emerging field of mobile sensing.

Abstract:
Adolescence is a time of increased developmental stress and associated risk for psychopathology. At the same time, today’s adolescent is almost constantly digitally connected, and the online space has been largely overlooked by researchers as a context for youthful coping. As a result, the current thesis includes three empirical studies to address critical gaps in our measurement of adolescent coping (online or off), how adolescents look to the digital arena as they navigate day-to-day life, and the short-term influence of online coping on adolescents’ emotional well-being. First, Study 1 sought to characterize how scholars are using technology to measure adolescent coping via ambulatory assessment (AA), and to delineate associated advantages and challenges of varying approaches. Previous published research has remained challenged by how best to conceptualize, measure, and analyse adolescents’ coping in situ. Thus, drawing from 60 adolescent AA coping studies, Study 1 called for scholars to revisit coping theory in their study designs to ensure they tap their focal aspect of the adolescent coping process. Study 1 also provided key lessons and recommendations for scholars seeking to deploy AA methods in their pursuit of measuring coping. Second, Study 2 sought to establish a foundation for adolescent online coping. This study brought together data from adolescent focus groups (Study 1; n = 16), experience sampling (Study 2; n = 156), and young adult surveys (Supplementary data; n = 213). Study findings validated adolescents’ online coping as a strategy that youth widely endorse in the face of daily stress. Specifically, in line with common coping facets, and drawing on the communications literature, three online coping strategies emerged: online emotional support seeking, information seeking, and self-distraction. Moreover, findings suggest negative linear effects for these online coping strategies; when conceived as an individual difference construct, whereby more online coping was associated with worse emotional reactions to stress in daily life. Third, Study 3 sought to explore the impact of adolescents’ online coping using a more fine-grained approach. Specifically, by tying ambulatory assessments of online coping to momentary stress reports, this study allowed for the analyses of the full coping process—stress, coping, response—within an in-situ framework. Moreover, this study capitalized on momentary coping reports in a subset of youth (n = 115; 1,241 timepoints) to assess both linear and non-linear associations with short-term emotional well-being. Findings indicated a negative linear impact of momentary online coping, such that more emotional support seeking, information seeking, and distraction online were associated with worse emotional responses. However, testing of non-linear associations indicated better fitting models across the board, and a robust pattern of results. Here, moderate levels of online coping had a clear positive impact on adolescents’ emotional recovery from stress. All told, thesis findings point to the important arena of technology to support adolescents' coping and associated well-being. Thesis studies contribute to the literature in several arenas, including a much-needed scoping review of the existing AA coping literature, and a robust validation of the online coping construct. Further and most importantly, studies make clear that online coping has an effect on adolescents’ emotional well-being, and when used in moderation, may be beneficial to their emotional functioning.
