Abstract

To clarify a possible association of Sense of Coherence (SOC) with stress reactions and their related factors, this study incorporated an anonymous questionnaire survey on 463 female nurses (average age 32.3 years) in a hospital in Japan. <br>The questionnaire consisted of SOC, Brief of Job Stress Questionnaire, Brief Scales for Coping Profile and characteristics. <br>Judging from partial correlation coefficient corrected for age, SOC was significantly related to stress reactions (psychiatric symptoms and somatic symptoms) and their related factors (stressors and influential factors of Brief of Job Stress Questionnaire, and subscales of Brief Scales for Coping Profile). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to find factors relevant to stress reactions. The dependent variable was set to the points of the stress reactions. The independent variables were set to the scores of SOC and 19 factors related to stress reactions, age and appointment. <br>The results showed that SOC had a significant association with stress reactions along quantitative overload, one of the factors related to stress reactions, and age. It follows that SOC could possibly be an independent factor to decrease the stress reactions of nurses.
