“…Stemming from that study, women with cardiac syndrome X appeared to experience a higher level of anxiety several months after coronary angiography compared to women with diagnosed significant atherosclerosis in coronary vessels [4]. There were no statistically significant differences in the estimation of depressive symptoms in both groups [5]. Moreover, women with no significant stenosis of coronary arteries demonstrated a lower sense of comprehensibility before and after coronarography and lowered manageability after the procedure [6].…”

“…Depressive and anxiety disorders often accompany cardiovascular disease. Most data are available on ischemic heart disease and heart failure [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Relatively little information is available on the symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with carotid atherosclerosis and their relationship with the sense of coherence (SOC) [7][8][9].…”

“…There were no statistically significant differences in the estimation of depressive symptoms in both groups [5]. Moreover, women with no significant stenosis of coronary arteries demonstrated a lower sense of comprehensibility before and after coronarography and lowered manageability after the procedure [6]. Therefore, the idea was conceived to examine whether some similar relations could be observed in the group of patients with lesions in carotic arteries, dividing these individuals into the groups of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.…”

Background: The sense of coherence is lower in patients with somatic diseases and psychiatric disorders. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intensity of depression and anxiety symptoms and their relationship with the sense of coherence and to try to determine the relationship between the strength of sense of coherence and symptoms of depression and anxiety with the presence of symptoms of carotid atherosclerosis in a group of patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. Methods: 35 patients, including 13 with symptomatic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries, completed self-report tests: Hospital Scale of Depression and Anxiety (HADS) and the SOC-29 Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29), 22 of whom also rated their subjective feelings of anxiety and depression on a scale included in the author’s questionnaire. Results: Both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients did not differ significantly in the severity of depression, but they differed in anxiety levels as assessed by the HADS scale. There were no differences in the overall strength of sense of coherence and its individual components. Nearly 12% of those undergoing carotid artery stenting have pronounced anxiety symptoms, and just over 14% have pronounced depression symptoms. A higher overall sense of coherence and its components are associated with lower severity of depression symptoms. Lower severity of anxiety correlates negatively with a higher sense of understanding, meaningfulness, and holistic Sense of Coherence (SOC). Manageability appeared higher in men. Conclusions: SOC is an important health-promoting factor that is preferably related to mental health parameters of patients with carotid atherosclerosis.

“…Individual researchers were set the cut-off points themselves ( 17 ). Some studies suggest that reaching around 140–160 points indicates a strong, 110–130-a moderate, and below 100–a low SOC level ( 5 , 18 ).…”

BackgroundThere is scarcely any data in the available literature on the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and cognitive functioning, and no information on the relationship between SOC and cognitive parameters in patients with carotid atherosclerosis.AimThe aim of this paper was to determine the relationship of SOC measured prior to carotid artery stenting (CAS) with neurocognitive functioning in patients with carotid atherosclerosis 12 months after CAS.MethodsA total of 35 patients with carotid atherosclerosis completed the SOC-29 Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-29) and completed a cognitive test battery twice, i.e., before (baseline–T1) and 12 months after stent implantation (follow-up–T2). Selected cognitive functions such as memory, attention, perception, visuospatial and executive functions and non-verbal fluency were assessed.ResultsOne year after the procedure, patients with a higher SOC and sense of manageability present better performance in visual memory. Higher SOC and sense of meaningfulness are positively related to the speed of understanding the changing rules of card sorting (WCST).ConclusionHigher overall SOC and a component of sense of meaningfulness and manageability may be related to better cognitive functioning 1 year after the procedure.

“…Thus, a high SOC is related to a better quality of life, better health perception, or better adaptation to the disease. Furthermore, other studies have reported that SOC could be an indicator of psychological well-being, identifying a possible relationship with anxiety and depression [ 8 , 46 , 51 , 70 ]. In particular, a high SOC is related to low levels of anxiety and depression.…”

Purpose The objectives of this study were to analyze the psychometric properties of the Sense of Coherence scale (SOC-13), determine the role of the method effect in the performance of the instrument, and identify the relationship with health perception, quality of life, and sleep quality in patients at cardiovascular risk. Methods The final sample consisted of 293 patients at cardiovascular risk, with a mean age of 61.9 years (SD = 8.8), 49.8% of whom were women. The SOC-13, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Medical Outcomes Study-Sleep Scale (MOS-Sleep) were administered. In addition, the participant's self-perceived health and quality of life were also evaluated. All analyses were carried out with SPSS 26.0 and EQS 6.1 statistical software. Results The results showed adequate reliability for the SOC-13, with a Cronbach's alpha of .789. The fit of the structures was not adequate in any of the cases (.26 to .62 for one factor, .26 to.73 for three factors, .20 to .54 for one second-order factor, and .25, .42, and .54 for three first-order factors). The three structure models showed an improved fit when adding a latent factor resulting from the method effect (.6 to .85 for one factor, .11 to.90 for three factors, and .11 to .96 for one second-order factor). Moreover, positive correlations were found with health perception, perceived quality of life, and perceived sleep quality. Conclusion The SOC-13 is a suitable instrument for patients with cardiovascular risk in Spain, and it is also an indicator of health perception, quality of life, and perceived quality of sleep. Control of the method effect improves the fit of the instrument’s structure. As a future direction, it is recommended to conduct new studies in this and other samples and using different versions of the SOC. Trial registration International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number: ISRCTN76069254, 08/04/2015 retrospectively registered.
