Fatigue and mood among people with arthritis: Carry-over across the day.

Conclusions: There was a unidirectional effect of fatigue on subsequent happiness and a bidirectional relationship between fatigue and frustration within the same-day for adults with RA or OA. These findings inform interventions for the management of mood and fatigue throughout the day and suggest that addressing fatigue could improve mood, and that addressing sources of frustration could improve fatigue among people with arthritis.
