Abstract

Purpose/objective: Within the framework of the Salutogenic Model of Health, this study aimed to investigate sense of coherence among caregiving partners of persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), and its relationship with perceived social support and illness beliefs conceived as generalized resistance resources in tension management.

Research method/design: In this cross-sectional study, 398 caregiving partners of PwMS (M_age = 44.62; 34.9% women and 65.1% men) filled in questionnaires measuring sense of coherence (Sense of Coherence Scale-13), perceived social support from family, friends and significant others (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support), and illness beliefs (Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire). Hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed to assess the contribution of perceived support and illness beliefs to sense of coherence, controlling for sociodemographic and clinical variables.

Results: Perceived support from family and beliefs concerning illness-related emotional representations, illness coherence, and treatment control emerged as significant predictors of participants' sense of coherence. Higher perceived support from family and stronger beliefs in illness coherence and treatment control were associated with higher sense of coherence, while more negative emotional representations were related to lower sense of coherence values.

Conclusions/implications: Findings lend support to the relevance of a salutogenic approach to caregiving in multiple sclerosis. They further suggest the usefulness of interventions that can promote caregivers' sense of coherence and successful coping in life by benefitting from family support, favoring the construction of a coherent illness view, offering comprehensive information and expert guidance on treatment and rehabilitation opportunities, and promoting adaptive management of negative emotions.

预测多发性硬化症患者照顾伙伴的一致性。

目的/目的:在健康健康模型的框架下，本研究旨在探讨多发性硬化症(PwMS)患者照顾伙伴之间的一致性，以及其与感知社会支持和疾病信念的关系，这些感知社会支持和疾病信念被认为是紧张管理中的广义抵抗资源。研究方法/设计:本横断面研究选取398名PwMS护理伴(Mage = 44.62;34.9%的女性和65.1%的男性)填写了测量一致性感(一致性量表-13)、来自家庭、朋友和重要他人的感知社会支持(感知社会支持多维度量表)和疾病信念(修订疾病感知问卷)的问卷。在控制社会人口学和临床变量的情况下，采用层次线性回归分析来评估感知支持和疾病信念对连贯性感的贡献。结果:来自家庭的支持和对疾病相关情绪表征、疾病一致性和治疗控制的信念是参与者一致性的显著预测因子。较高的家庭支持感知和对疾病一致性和治疗控制的更强信念与较高的一致性相关，而更多的负面情绪表征与较低的一致性价值观相关。结论/意义:研究结果支持对多发性硬化症患者采取有益健康的护理方法。他们进一步指出，干预措施可以通过家庭支持、有利于建立连贯的疾病观、提供全面的治疗和康复机会的信息和专家指导以及促进消极情绪的适应性管理来提高照顾者的连贯性和成功应对生活的意识。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2023 APA，版权所有)。
