Abstract:
Fatigue and stress may affect medication adherence. This study explored fatigue, stress, and blood pressure (BP) medication adherence in Black and White adults (N= 152) who had experienced a myocardial infarction. Over half of the sample (55%) reported fatigue as moderate to severe. The regression model explained up to 40% of the variance (p < .001) with fatigue and race significantly predicting adherence. Black participants reported fatigue causing distress (r =.40), and White participants reported greater association of fatigue severity-related BP medication adherence (r =.49). Our findings support considering racial differences when evaluating fatigue associated with BP medication adherence.
