The focus of this curricular unit are the specificities of psychological assessment in health contexts. For students to acquire skills in this area, we will present different assessment methodologies that are commonly used (e.g., clinical interview, questionnaires, observation). Additionally, we will focus the assessment domains that are particularly relevant for health contexts, including health-related behaviors, adaptation to physical illness, adherence, stress, and quality of life. Throughout the semester, students will know and use different measures that are relevant for this area. Students will also score and interpret the results of such measures, in order to support the decision-making in subsequent stages of psychological interventions.
