An investigation of the correlates of sense of coherence in a sample of Brazilians with head and neck cancer

Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Sense of Coherence Scale in women with cervical cancer

“…Because of SOC‐13's brevity and comparable psychometric properties with SOC‐29, it was used widely among sick patient samples . The Chinese version of SOC‐13 (C‐SOC‐13), translated and adapted by Bao and her colleagues, was chosen to assess SOC , and in this version, items 2, 5, 6, 7 and 12 belong to comprehensibility, items 3, 4, 8 and 10 manageability and items 1, 9, 11 and 13 meaningfulness.…”

“…Literature reviews reflected that SOC contributed to chronically ill patients' well‐being when facing long‐term tension induced from managing a chronic disease such as diabetes , cardiac disease and cancer . Although a body of research explaining the relationship between SOC and chronic illnesses can readily be identified, to date no studies relating to Chinese women suffering from cervical cancer were found, despite there being a high incidence of cervical cancer in China.…”
