NaME was operationalized according to a self-constructed NaME framework of HRCD activities (Fig. 1), which summarizes 13 HRCD/NaME frameworks [ 2, 5, 8, 10– 15, 15, 21– 25] and reflects the level of HRCD, common indicators, and the order (from needs assessment to impact evaluation) commonly used in the original frameworks.
'Research' was operationalized according to the categories of the 'research spider' [ 19].
In the model, PU and PEU were defined as originally proposed by Davis [ 21] and operationalized according to the recommendations of Davis and other studies (as summarized in Table 1 of Holden and Karsh [ 22]), with a modified six-item scale for PU and a modified four-item scale for PEU.
Insomnia was operationalized according to the DSM-V criteria for insomnia: self-reported difficulties initiating and maintaining sleep for at least three times a week, with a duration of three months or more, as well as tiredness or sleepiness on at least three days per week.
Insomnia was operationalized according to Lichstein et al.'s Quantitative Criteria for Insomnia [ 28]: self-reported DIMS at least three times a week, with a duration of six months or more, in addition to reporting SOL and/or WASO of more than 30 minutes, as well as tiredness or sleepiness at least three days per week.
It could thus be predicted to produce a lower optimal threshold value for neuropathy diagnosis because the sensory and motor physical examination deficits that make up an abnormal Neuropathy Deficit Score reflect more advanced stages of DSP than the definition that we operationalized according to electrophysiologically-based consensus guidelines.
According to Donabedian [ 2, 3], quality of care can be broadly conceptualized and operationalized according to three main attributes: structure (the setting in which care occurs); process (what is done in the giving and receiving of care); and outcomes (the effect on health status).
As several combinations are possible, cancer treatment was operationalized according to physical impact: no treatment; surgery only; surgery and radiotherapy or hormonal therapy or both; surgery and chemotherapy with or without any combination of radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy; other combinations.
The aims of the present study were to operationalize social vulnerability according to a deficit accumulation approach, to compare social vulnerability and frailty, and to study social vulnerability in relation to mortality.
According to a recent C.B.O.
