ResumoThe human social principle of Reciprocal Ethical Caring (REC) has not been measured in long-term care (LTC) settings. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate dimensions of REC in the nurse-nursing assistant Caregiver reciprocity Scale (NNA-CRS). Psychometric investigation (N = 1,050) resulted in three factors: Balanced Reciprocal Ethical Caring Team Work (7 items), Love and Affection (5 items), and Intrinsic Rewards (4 items). Cronbach alphas were .891, .800, and .815, respectively. Fit indices supported use of the NNA-CRS in LTC (CFI = .947, RMSEA = .060, AGFI= .926, CMIN/DF = 4.720, NFI = .933, and RMR = .036).
