The purpose of this study was to explore the role of sense of coherence (SOC) in the relationship between household income and self-rated health among Canadian women. SOC is a global orientation that enables one to perceive events of the world as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful.
A secondary data analysis was conducted using the National Population Health Survey 1994-95. Only women between the ages of 20 and 64 (n = 6748) were selected for this study. Data were analysed using multivariate path analyses.
SOC is a psychosocial factor that intervenes in the income and health relationship. It did not function, however, as an interaction buffer to ameliorate the adverse effects of low income on health.
This study lends support for public health interventions that target the socioeconomic conditions that influence health, and for strategies that foster the development of a strong SOC.
本研究旨在探讨连贯感(SOC)在加拿大女性家庭收入与自评健康关系中的作用。连贯感是一种整体取向,能使人将世界上的事件视为可理解、可掌控且有意义的。
利用1994 - 1995年全国人口健康调查进行二次数据分析。本研究仅选取了年龄在20至64岁之间的女性(n = 6748)。数据采用多元路径分析进行分析。
连贯感是一个干预收入与健康关系的社会心理因素。然而,它并未起到交互缓冲作用来减轻低收入对健康的不利影响。
本研究为针对影响健康的社会经济状况的公共卫生干预措施以及促进强大连贯感发展的策略提供了支持。
