This paper presents initial data on the development and validation of a Nurse-Patient Interaction Tool. Factor analysis of this 44-item Likert-type scale yielded two major factors, Control vs Powerlessness and Agreement with Plan. These factors showed adequate reliability and utility in assessing responses of patients to varying styles of nurse-patient interchanges in a simulated health-care setting. Further validation is necessary to explore its usefulness with various patient populations.
