      ab: The main purpose of the project was to develop computerized instruments that could be used by nurses and patients to assess their cooperation and mutual contributions to care. This paper presents a part of the project: the reliability and validity testing phase of a process of instrument development. To test the validity and reliability of the instruments, data were collected with questionnaires from nurses (n = 146) and patients (n = 286). The validity evaluated as construct validity and the reliability evaluated as internal consistency of the instruments were quite good. Construct validity was tested by factor analysis, and internal consistency was tested by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which varied from 0.69 to 0.79. The instruments, which consisted of a software application that can be operated in a www environment, were meant to be used as tools in the psychiatric nursing context for assessing the cooperation between the nurses and patients and the patient's participation in his/her care. Furthermore, the computer programme can be used as a tool for developing and assessing the patient orientation in nursing.
