Abstract
This paper reports the reliability and validity of the Health Professional-Geriatric Patient Interaction Behavior Rating Code, an observational instrument that is used to quantify the interpersonal behaviors of health professionals in the care of the geriatric patient. Fifteen behavioral factors, deemed by experts as indicative of positive interacting style and identified through a literature review, were condensed into 10 operationally defined behavioral categories.Keywords
