Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how patients with hypertension perceive the differences between their self-reported medication adherence and the actual adherence confirmed by chemical testing, revealing a disconnect between perception and reality.*
-
- Thirteen patients underwent interviews that highlighted six themes related to their feelings and reactions to adherence testing, including frustration, discomfort, shame, and a desire for communication with healthcare providers.*
-
- The findings suggest that clinicians should recognize the varying emotional responses to nonadherence and improve communication strategies to better support patients in managing their hypertension.*
