Abstract
The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first was the establishment of a reliable and valid tool, the R-USLATCon scale that reflects degrees of concordance attitudes of both patients and health care providers established during a specific patient care episode that may or may not lead to planned adherence. Secondly, the purpose was to undertake a partial testing of a conceptual model, the patient and healthcare provider concordance model developed to specify concepts that are linked with concordance to predict adherence.
The design of this study was a descriptive correlational study used to assess the R-USLATCon scale's preliminary reliability and validity. The R-USLATCon scale is the American English version of the original British scale named the Leeds Attitude Toward Concordance (LATCon) scale.
