Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlates of Sense of Coherence (SOC) in Head and Neck (H&N) cancer patients during the initial months following their diagnosis. A sample of 162 subjects with newly diagnosed H&N cancer was recruited from a Brazilian hospital. SOC was evaluated using a validated instrument, and these data plus socio-demographic, behavioural and clinical data were collected using interviews. Correlates of SOC in the sample were analysed using multiple linear regression. The mean SOC score was 63.8 and the mean age was 57.7 years. Most of the subjects were male, had a partner and had low levels of education. The cancers were mainly in the oral cavity and diagnosed at a late stage. Analyses demonstrated that subjects who were men, who had a partner, who were working and those with an opportunity to talk openly had higher (i.e. stronger) SOC. No statistically significant association was observed between SOC and clinical variables or tobacco and alcohol consumption. These results suggest an association between SOC and socio-demographic and psychosocial covariates only in this sample of Brazilian H&N cancer patients.

摘要

本研究旨在调查头颈部（H&N）癌症患者在诊断后最初几个月的社会感（SOC）相关因素。从巴西一家医院招募了 162 名新诊断为 H&N 癌症的患者作为样本。使用经过验证的工具评估 SOC，使用访谈收集 SOC 数据以及社会人口统计学、行为和临床数据。使用多元线性回归分析样本中 SOC 的相关因素。SOC 的平均得分为 63.8，平均年龄为 57.7 岁。大多数患者为男性，有伴侣，受教育程度较低。癌症主要位于口腔，且处于晚期诊断。分析表明，男性、有伴侣、有工作且有机会坦诚交谈的患者 SOC 更高（即更强）。SOC 与临床变量或烟草和酒精消费之间未观察到统计学上显著的相关性。这些结果表明，SOC 与社会人口统计学和心理社会变量之间仅存在关联，而这仅适用于该组巴西 H&N 癌症患者。
