There is scarcely any data in the available literature on the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and cognitive functioning, and no information on the relationship between SOC and cognitive parameters in patients with carotid atherosclerosis.
The aim of this paper was to determine the relationship of SOC measured prior to carotid artery stenting (CAS) with neurocognitive functioning in patients with carotid atherosclerosis 12 months after CAS.
A total of 35 patients with carotid atherosclerosis completed the SOC-29 Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-29) and completed a cognitive test battery twice, i.e., before (baseline-T1) and 12 months after stent implantation (follow-up-T2). Selected cognitive functions such as memory, attention, perception, visuospatial and executive functions and non-verbal fluency were assessed.
One year after the procedure, patients with a higher SOC and sense of manageability present better performance in visual memory. Higher SOC and sense of meaningfulness are positively related to the speed of understanding the changing rules of card sorting (WCST).
Higher overall SOC and a component of sense of meaningfulness and manageability may be related to better cognitive functioning 1 year after the procedure.
现有文献中几乎没有关于连贯感（SOC）与认知功能之间关系的数据，也没有关于颈动脉粥样硬化患者中SOC与认知参数之间关系的信息。
本文旨在确定在颈动脉支架置入术（CAS）前测量的SOC与颈动脉粥样硬化患者在CAS术后12个月时的神经认知功能之间的关系。
共有35例颈动脉粥样硬化患者完成了SOC-29生活取向问卷（SOC-29），并两次完成认知测试组，即术前（基线-T1）和支架植入后12个月（随访-T2）。评估了选定的认知功能，如记忆、注意力、感知、视觉空间和执行功能以及非语言流畅性。
术后一年，具有较高SOC和可管理感的患者在视觉记忆方面表现更好。较高的SOC和意义感与理解卡片分类（WCST）变化规则的速度呈正相关。
较高的总体SOC以及意义感和可管理感的一个组成部分可能与术后1年更好的认知功能有关。
