The Relationship Between Sense of Coherence and Adjustment in Persons with Disabilities

Abstract: The concepts of salutogenesis and Antonovsky's sense of coherence are introduced. Salutogenesis and sense of coherence are based upon factors (i.e., comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness) that promote health rather than those factors that cause disease. This study investigated the relationship between sense of coherence and adjustment in individuals with a disability (i.e., 89 college students with disabilities). Results indicated a positive correlation between sense of coherence and adjustment … Show more

“…RTW counsellors need training to help them focus on assessing and strengthening clients' sense of coherence, by focusing on past experiences that contribute to the sense of coherence. Rehabilitation services should have the goal to strengthen clients' sense of coherence (Lustig et al, 2000;Merz et al, 2001). On a note of caution, using a sense of coherence questionnaire as a screening instrument in RTW practice carries a risk of stigmatization.…”

“…He argued that for adults, the work environment is the most important setting in determining an individual's sense of coherence. Vocation can strengthen the sense of coherence when expectations are known and consistent, when a worker experiences having the resources required to complete job tasks, and when the worker believes that he/she has a shared responsibility (Lustig, Rosenthal, Strauser, & Haynes, 2000). Sense of coherence is a factor in work-related phenomena such as sick leave processes (Falkdal, Edlund, & Dahlgren, 2006), disability leading to pension (Suominen et al, 2005), work and well-being (Virtanen & Koivisto, 2001), work attitudes (Axelsson, Andersson, Håkansson, & Ejlertsson, 2005), work stressors and strain Kivimäki, Kalimo, & Toppinen, 1998), profession or kind of employment (Lundberg & Nyström Peck, 1994), and quality of work .…”

“…SOC fosters an individual's ability to perceive stimuli as predictable and structured (comprehensibility), enhance confidence that the resources available are adequate (manageability), and increase motivation to engage with challenges (meaningfulness). In a number of studies SOC has been defined as a coping resource (Antonovsky, 1990;Lindfors, Lundberg, & Lundberg, 2005;Lustig, Rosenthal, Strauser, & Haynes, 2000). In other studies, SOC is understood as a coping strategy or a dependent variable (Grøholt, Stigum, Nordhagen, & Kö hler, 2003;Oelofsen & Richardson, 2006).…”

“…En la línea de estudios anteriores que han identificado atributos de resiliencia en la calidad de vida de diferentes grupos de riesgo (Amar, 2000) , así como en muestras con diagnóstico de TDAH (Lustig, Rosenthal, Strauser & Haynes, 2000;Miranda, Presentación, Colomer & Roselló, 2011), los resultados de este segundo objetivo parecen corroborar que los atributos de éxito analizados podrían constituir una propuesta pertinente para la optimización de la satisfacción con la vida en sujetos con TDAH.…”
