The aim of this study was to assess the association between the Sense of Coherence (SoC) and Quality of Life (QoL) in adolescents with heart disease.
A cross-sectional study was carried out with 164 adolescents with congenital or valvular heart disease, aged between 10 and 18 years, treated in a referral center in the city of Recife - Brazil. The information collected contains census data, type of heart disease, economic status identified according to the Brazilian Criteria for Economic Classification (ABEP), as well as an evaluation of the SoC and the QoL.
The SoC (50.09) and QoL (72.23) exhibited high average scores. The SoC was positively correlated with all dimensions of the QoL scale (p<0.001). The social and school dimensions, respectively, presented the highest and lowest scores. The linear regression analysis revealed that the SoC influenced the school and emotional dimensions.
This study demonstrates that the SoC is a protective factor in the life of adolescents. This factor helps on the improvement of perception of QoL and on successfully dealing with daily adversities and chronic stress.
本研究旨在评估青少年心脏病患者的意识与生活质量之间的关联。
本研究为一项横断面研究，共纳入了 164 名年龄在 10 至 18 岁之间的先天性心脏病或瓣膜性心脏病青少年，这些患者在巴西累西腓市的一家转诊中心接受治疗。收集的信息包括人口统计数据、心脏病类型、根据巴西经济分类标准（ABEP）确定的经济状况，以及对意识和生活质量的评估。
意识（50.09）和生活质量（72.23）的平均得分均较高。意识与生活质量量表的所有维度均呈正相关（p<0.001）。社会和学校维度的得分分别最高和最低。线性回归分析表明，意识影响了学校和情绪维度。
本研究表明，意识是青少年生活中的一个保护因素。该因素有助于提高对生活质量的感知，并有助于成功应对日常逆境和慢性压力。
