Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how African American older adults use spirituality to adhere to their antihypertensive medications. Data collection included in-depth individual interviews with 21 older African American women. Content analysis revealed five themes: The Lord Helps Those Who Help Themselves; Staying in the Lord for Guidance; God Is My Rock; Guardian Angels and Saints; and Brings Me Peace, Ease of Burdens, and Ability to Cope. Findings of this study suggest that spirituality is perceived as a positive resource that helps study participants adhere to their antihypertensive medication regimen. Possible faith-based interventions for nurses and other health care professionals to use with their patients are discussed. |
