Couples' adjustment to one partner's disability: The relationship between sense of coherence and adjustment

Life orientation in Finnish family caregivers' of persons with Alzheimer's disease: A diary study

“…In doing so, caregivers create new settings on the personal and family levels in order to create a new future. These settings are structured and comprehensible, and also meaningful to live with (see Antonovsky, ; Rena et al ., ; Wiesmann et al ., ; Chan, ), in line with the salutogenic orientation.…”

Quality-of-life predictors for caregivers at 1 and 6 months poststroke: Results of path analyses

“…This finding may support the theory that coping ability is a personality trait and is not differentially influenced by a dynamic concept like functional status or a static concept like income. Coping abilities, which are typically thought of as personality traits, are resiliency [43][44], hardiness [45], and SOC [22,46]. Further support is added to this theory by our finding that caregiver characteristics included in the analyses did not influence the coping ability of the caregiver.…”

Sense of coherence in stroke: A concept analysis with Rodger's evolutionary approach

“…Of greater concern is that informal caregivers' SoC was the strongest predictor of caregiving burden and their depression at 12 months post‐stroke (Van Puymbroeck et al, 2008). Spouse as informal caregivers had a higher SoC than stroke patients, being less anxious, healthier, more accepting of disability, more engaged in work and study activities, and having higher sense of dependency; however, there were no significant differences in marital satisfaction between stroke patients and informal caregivers (Feigin, 1998; Rena et al, 1996).…”

“…Although the original definition of SoC in the included studies is generally quoted from Antonovsky's, 1987 concept (Antonovsky, 1987), some stroke studies have highlighted its specific implications for patients (Andreassen & Wyller, 2005), informal caregivers (Chumbler et al, 2004; Chumbler et al, 2008; Perrin et al, 2009; Van Puymbroeck & Rittman, 2005), dyads (Feigin, 1998; Rena et al, 1996), and families (Perrin et al, 2008; Schünemann et al, 2013) (Table 5). In this study, ‘stroke dyads’ refer to the mutual and reciprocal relationship between stroke patients and their primary informal caregivers (Feigin, 1998; Rena et al, 1996). The links between stroke dyads and SoC concept highlight that reciprocal relations within stroke dyads influence each partner's SoC differentially during the adjustment processes of stroke recovery (Feigin, 1998, Rena et al, 1996).…”
