Summary
A new Interpersonal Geriatric care relationship tool was developed and validated. This 30-item instrument effectively measures the quality of nurse-patient interactions in geriatric care settings.
Area of Science:
- Geriatric care
- Nursing relationship quality
- Healthcare professional-patient interaction
Background:
- The interpersonal care relationship significantly impacts nursing care quality.
- Existing tools lack the comprehensive scope to capture the full interpersonal care relationship.
- A validated instrument is needed to assess and improve geriatric care interactions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a psychometrically sound tool for assessing the interpersonal geriatric care relationship.
- To evaluate the content validity, construct validity, factor structure, and reliability of the new tool.
Main Methods:
- A four-phased validation procedure was employed from January 2016 to April 2019.
- Methods included construct definition, tool development, content validation, and psychometric evaluation.
- Exploratory factor analysis was used to determine the tool's factor structure.
Main Results:
- The 30-item Interpersonal Geriatric care relationship tool was developed.
- Four components were extracted: humanization, attentiveness, interest, and accessibility.
- The tool demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alphas 0.69–0.84) and discriminating power.
Conclusions:
- The Interpersonal Geriatric care relationship tool is a valuable and reliable measure.
- It can be utilized by researchers, educators, and clinicians to benchmark care relationships.
- The tool aids in optimizing the quality of interpersonal care in hospital settings.

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
