A computer based scale on health care relationships was developed as part of a test of a touch screen Personal Education Program (PEP) designed to increase medication adherence and reduce adverse self-medication behaviors in older adults with hypertension. The 5-item, self-report Relationships with Health Care Provider Scale (RHCPS), initially in paper and pencil format, underwent several iterations to document internal consistency reliability, content and factorial validity, and to assess scale usability in a computer tablet format. Five expert judges rated items, showing both Item Content Validity and Scale Content Validity Indices having high ratings of relevance across all judges. Principal components analysis extracted one factor with an eigenvalue greater than 1.0 and confirmed by scree plot. Based on 121 surveys completed by persons 60 years of age and older, the Cronbach standardized alpha was .81 for the 5-item scale. The RHCPS has potential to reveal valuable clinical and scientific data on patient-provider relationships among older adults.
