“…Sixth, in CHD, the implementation of SOC-enhancing interventions has not been studied. Although interventions have shown to be effective in other cardiac populations, 45 we do not know yet to what extent improving SOC would improve QoL in persons with CHD. Seventh, the mechanism of impact is not fully understood yet.…”

Background Previous studies have found that sense of coherence (SOC) is positively related to quality of life (QoL) in persons with chronic conditions. In congenital heart disease (CHD), the evidence is scant. Aims We investigated (i) intercountry variation in SOC in a large international sample of adults with CHD; (ii) the relationship between demographic and clinical characteristics and SOC; (iii) the relationship between cultural dimensions of countries and SOC; and (iv) variation in relative importance of SOC in explaining QoL across the countries. Methods APPROACH-IS was a cross-sectional, observational study, with 4028 patients from 15 countries enrolled. SOC was measured using the 13-item SOC scale (range 13–91) and QoL was assessed by a linear analog scale (range 0–100). Results The mean SOC score was 65.5±13.2. Large intercountry variation was observed with the strongest SOC in Switzerland (68.8±11.1) and the lowest SOC in Japan (59.9±14.5). A lower SOC was associated with a younger age; lower educational level; with job seeking, being unemployed or disabled; unmarried, divorced or widowed; from a worse functional class; and simple CHD. Power distance index and individualism vs collectivism were cultural dimensions significantly related to SOC. SOC was positively associated with QoL in all participating countries and in the total sample, with an explained variance ranging from 5.8% in Argentina to 30.4% in Japan. Conclusion In adults with CHD, SOC is positively associated with QoL. The implementation of SOC-enhancing interventions might improve QoL, but strategies would likely differ across countries given the substantial variation in explained variance.

“…In recent years there has been increasing interest on how to strengthen SOC (Yamazaki et al, 2011) for patient and informal carers with several studies showing that SOC increases through interventions that focus on coping (Lim and Han, 2013), problem solving (Odajima et al, 2017), cognitive therapy (Malm et al, 2018) or lifestyle interventions (Forsberg et al, 2010); although informative large scale randomised controlled trial studies of clinical effectiveness are needed.…”

“…The positive effect of SOC on PPD shown in these results suggests that a short-term clinical intervention may help the mothers to build up their SOC and consequently reduce the level of PPD. Previously, cognitive behavioral interventions have been shown to increase SOC for specific groups including cardiovascular patients [ 75 ] and health workers [ 76 ], which indicates that this method could be most effective. With regard to the timing of the intervention, screening and antenatal intervention for women at risk of PPD might enhance SOC by the time of the birth and reduce early PPD.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) has detrimental effects on the health of the mother, child and family. Socio-demographic variables can influence PPD. Sense of coherence (SOC) is a personal resource that mitigates the experience of stressful events. We hypothesized that SOC would have a protective effect against PPD over time. The aim was to investigate the effects of socio-demographic factors and SOC on PPD at birth (T1) and nine months postpartum (T2). A longitudinal study of primiparous women (n = 114; age range 18–47 years) measured PPD, SOC and socio-demographics at T1 and T2. The majority were married, had no economic difficulties and were employed before birth. Results showed that PPD at T1 (15.8%) declined to 6.2% (T2). Job status was positively associated with SOC at T1. The structured equation model accounted for 27% of the variance in PPD (T2). In the first pathway, job status was linked to PPD (T2) via SOC at T1 and T2. In the second, SOC and PPD (T1) and SOC (T2) mediated the link between job status and PPD (T2). Results and clinical implications are discussed in the context of the theory of conservation of resources. An intervention for enhancing SOC is recommended for woman at risk of PPD.
