  • Title: Sense of coherence amongst Hong Kong Chinese adults with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.
    Author: Shiu AT.
    Journal: Int J Nurs Stud; 2004 May; 41(4):387-96. PubMed ID: 15050850.
    Abstract:
    Sense of coherence (SOC) is proposed as a salutogenic approach explaining good health and positive adjustment. This paper reports a study that replicated two previous Swedish studies in 72 Hong Kong Chinese adults with diabetes. This study extended the Swedish studies by using multiple linear regression and partial correlations to examine the relationship between SOC, fear of hypoglycaemia and metabolic control to identify whether other variables including age, hypoglycaemic experience and adherence to self-care practice, confounded the Swedish findings. Results agree with that of the Swedish studies that SOC contributes to lower fear of hypoglycaemia. Implications for nursing practice are discussed.
