Self-Efficacy Mediates the Relationship Between Depressive Symptoms and Medication Adherence Among Hypertensive African Americans
Abstract
Many studies have documented the negative effects of depression on adherence to recommended treatment; however, little is known about the mechanism underlying this relationship. Using the Kenny and Baron analytic framework of mediation, the authors assessed whether self-efficacy mediated the relationship between depression and medication adherence in 167 hypertensive African Americans followed in a primary care practice. Depressive symptoms are associated with poor medication adherence (β = .013, p = .036) and low self-efficacy (β = —.008, p = .023). Self-efficacy is negatively associated with medication adherence at follow-up (β = —.612, p < .001). The relationship between depressive symptoms and medication adherence becomes nonsignificant when controlling for self-efficacy (β = .010, p = .087). Implications for further examination into the mediating role of self-efficacy and the deleterious effect of depression on medication adherence are discussed.

“Moreover, higher levels of self-efficacy can buffer against the effects of depression, which is a major adverse side effect of interferon-based therapies (13;14;34).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
