This study examined the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and hope in older adults from a longitudinal perspective.
271 older adults completed self-reported questionnaires assessing hope and SOC at 3 time points: at intake, at a 6-month follow-up, and at a 12-month follow-up. A cross-lagged panel model was used to examine the relationship between SOC and hope.
The results showed that SOC was significantly associated with the level of hope in the older adults at all three time points. The cross-lagged analysis showed that the lagged effect of SOC on hope was significant, whereas the lagged effect of the level of hope on SOC was nonsignificant.
These results indicated that SOC predicted the level of hope 6 months later and may be helpful for guiding older adults to increase their hope for the future through strategies aimed at improving their SOC.
本研究从纵向角度探讨了老年人的综合感(SOC)与希望之间的关系。
271 名老年人在三个时间点完成了自我报告问卷,评估希望和 SOC:在入组时、6 个月随访时和 12 个月随访时。采用交叉滞后面板模型来检验 SOC 和希望之间的关系。
结果表明,SOC 与老年人在所有三个时间点的希望水平显著相关。交叉滞后分析显示,SOC 对希望的滞后效应显著,而希望水平对 SOC 的滞后效应不显著。
这些结果表明,SOC 可以预测 6 个月后的希望水平,通过旨在提高 SOC 的策略,可能有助于指导老年人增加对未来的希望。
