“…GRRs are resources used to effectively cope with diverse stressors and can be divided into 3 categories: physical resources (eg, education, status, and economic strength), social resources (eg, interpersonal relationships, supportive environment, and support from people who understand), and psychological resources (eg, stable world view and values). 26 Further, Idan et al 29 notes the need to add new GRRs, such as an individual’s capacity for self-regulation or executive functioning. The S-WLB described here is a resource for self-regulation that is effective in combating stressors and thus can be thought of as a new type of GRR.…”

High turnover and understaffing are significant issues plaguing the healthcare system. Some of the leading reasons of turnover include child-bearing and -rearing, stress related to working, and health concerns. With the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, this problem of turnover worsened due to increased risk of infection and escalating workload. This study aimed to clarify and validate the effect of burnout on intention to leave among full-time nursing professionals and the structural relationship with sense of coherence (SOC) and striving for work-life balance (S-WLB). Secondary analyses of data obtained from a previous study was carried out; a hypothesized model was tested for goodness of fit and a final model was developed. Burnout directly affected intention to leave ( P < .001). It also affected intention to leave through SOC and S-WLB ( P < .01); SOC lessened the effect of burnout on S-WLB, therefore reducing its impact on intention to leave. Effective strategies need to be developed to improve the SOC and WLB of nurses to alleviate the effects of burnout and thus reduce the likelihood of turnover. Improving their ability to grasp and deal with emergencies and ambiguous situations, as well as providing emotional and tangible support can be other ways to retain nursing professionals.

“…Considering that work today requires, highly qualified and motivated professionals who can deal with the stress and demands and that VET has a social mission to develop skilled workers through school-and work-based learning, the purpose of our study was to identify and explore the importance of SOC and GRRs, both internal and external, among apprentices in VET. Research on the role of GRRs in building SOC remains scarce (Eriksson, 2022), and pedagogy has rarely been encompassed within the salutogenic perspective (Idan et al, 2022;Lindström & Eriksson, 2010). Moreover, there have been calls for studies that apply salutogenesis to fields beyond healthcare (Bauer et al, 2020;Eriksson, 2015).…”

Purpose: In the face of constant and rapid development achieving a work–life balance requires highly qualified and motivated professionals who can deal with stress and the demands of the future. In response, by facilitating school- and work-based learning, upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) prepares and qualifies adolescents for professional practice. In relation to VET, two fundamental salutogenic concepts can explain how humans cope with stressful and demanding situations: Sense of coherence (SOC), which entails comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, and general resistance resources (GRRs), theorised as resources within individuals themselves (i.e., internal) and/or in their surroundings (i.e., external). Against that background, in our study we aimed to identify and explore which GRRs contribute to SOC among apprentices in VET and how they influence work-based learning. Methods: Data were collected from 11 VET student in Norway at three time points—at interviews during their final semester of school-based learning (i.e., spring 2020), at interviews during their work-based learning (i.e., spring 2022) and, for register data, following their completion of trade certificates (i.e., autumn 2022). The students' experiences of work-based learning as apprentices formed the basis of this study's analysis. The stepwise deductive–inductive method was used to generate and analyse the data. Findings: The apprentices' GRRs emerged in emotional, cognitive, physical, professional, social, relational, material and cultural dimensions. Identification and utilisation of GRRs were both individually and socially conditioned. The apprentices were able to identify, both consciously and unconsciously, internal GRRs to further identify external GRRs, and vice versa. Each identified GRR appeared to affect at least one, if not all, of the three components of SOC. Conclusion: Salutogenic VET can provide personal, social, environmental and physical resources (i.e., GRRs) that ensure coherent learning experiences. For that reason, by supporting VET students in identifying GRRs, teachers and supervisors can promote their SOC and work-based learning and thereby prepare them to be highly qualified and motivated professionals.

“…According to the Salutogenic model, generalized resistance resources foster an individual’s ability to effectively respond to stress which in turn enhances an individual’s sense of coherence [ 37 , 39 ]. In other words, when chronic generalized resistance resources are integrated into an individual’s life situation, these resistance resources are considered the primary determinants of the strength of the individual’s sense of coherence level [ 40 ].…”

“…As a type of chronic, generalized resistance resources, family SES, is strongly associated with family coping resources. These resources not only denote the materials and strategies within the family that the person can rely on to manage stressful events, but also provide the foundation for the three components (i.e., comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness) of sense of coherence [ 40 , 41 ]. Individuals with higher levels of sense of coherence tend to view stressful events as predictable, explainable, and meaningful [ 38 ].…”

Longitudinal Relation between Family Socio-Economic Status and Problem Behaviors in Chinese Children: The Roles of Sense of Coherence and Maternal Warmth

Literature has well-documented the relation of family socio-economic status (SES) to children’s problem behaviors, yet the complex mechanisms underlying the relation are not well understood. Therefore, the primary goal of this one-year longitudinal study was to explore the mediating role of children’s sense of coherence and the moderating role of perceived maternal warmth in the association between family SES and externalizing and internalizing problems in Chinese children. The sample consisted of 913 children (493 boys; Mage = 11.50 years, SD = 1.04) in fourth to sixth grades in an urban area in mainland China. Data were obtained from multiple sources, including child self-reports, parental reports, and teacher ratings. The results indicated that children’s sense of coherence mediated the association between family SES and internalizing problem behaviors, but not externalizing problem behaviors. This mediating role was also moderated by maternal warmth and specifically, family SES was negatively associated with internalizing problem behaviors via the sense of coherence for children who perceived high maternal warmth. Generally, these results highlighted the possible roles of a sense of coherence and maternal warmth in the longitudinal implications of family SES for Chinese children’s internalizing problems.
