This study aimed to identify the influence of illness cognition and background factors on the sense of coherence among junior high school and high school students with congenital cardiac disease. We conducted an examination using the illness cognition scale and sense-of-coherence scale, and verified the reliability and validity of both. Participants were 172 students with congenital cardiac disease and 295 healthy students, who were 12-18 years old. The relationship among sense of coherence, basic and disease-related attributes, and illness cognition in healthy adolescents and those with congenital cardiac disease was investigated. Sense of coherence was higher in boys than in girls and higher in junior high students than in high school students. Adolescents with congenital cardiac disease scored higher for sense of coherence than healthy students. Those who scored lower on the illness cognition scale for "hardships resulting from restrictions and limitations for illness", "the desire to be understood by others", "anxieties about the state of the disease and possibility of death", or "not wanting people to know of one's disease" showed higher sense of coherence than those who had higher scores for these elements.
本研究旨在确定疾病认知和背景因素对先天性心脏病初、高中学生连贯感的影响。我们使用疾病认知量表和连贯感量表进行了一项测试，并验证了两者的信效度。参与者为172名患有先天性心脏病的学生和295名12至18岁的健康学生。研究了健康青少年和先天性心脏病患者的连贯感、基本属性和疾病相关属性以及疾病认知之间的关系。连贯感在男孩中高于女孩，在初中生中高于高中生。患有先天性心脏病的青少年的连贯感得分高于健康学生。在“疾病限制和局限导致的困难”“希望被他人理解”“对疾病状况和死亡可能性的焦虑”或“不想让别人知道自己的疾病”等疾病认知量表上得分较低的人，其连贯感高于在这些方面得分较高的人。
