Sense of coherence in people with and without inflammatory bowel diseases - is there a difference?
JOURNAL OF GASTROINTESTINAL AND LIVER DISEASES(2019)
摘要
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Sense of coherence (SOC) is a theoretical concept reflecting a person's resources and orientation, which enable individuals to cope with stressors in a health-promoting manner. In several multifactorial chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and systemic lupus erythematosus, SOC was correlated with disease development. It was also related with the emotional distress in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between low SOC scores and the presence of IBD.
METHODS:A total of 183 Crohn's disease (CD) and 71 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients completed questionnaires including demographic data and the 13 items for the SOC questionnaire. The IBD patients were matched to 124 healthy people according to age, gender, education, employment status and marital status.
RESULTS:In the CD cohort, 96 patients were matched to the healthy cohort according to the propensity score value, and in the UC cohort 57 were matched. Patients with Crohns' disease had a median SOC score of 63 (IQR 56-71), and healthy matching controls of 62.5 (IQR 55.25- 68.75) p=0.369. Patients with ulcerative patients had a median SOC score of 66 (IQR 56-73) and healthy controls 62 (IQR 55-69) p=0.354.
CONCLUSIONS:In our study SOC was not related to the development of IBD. The question of whether SOC is associated with the development of chronic disease and particularly with IBD remains open.
