A Comparison of the Relationship between the mother's the Sense of Coherence (SOC) and Unidentified Complaint

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify mother's the SOC (Sense of Coherence) and unidentified complaint. The subjects were 42 mothers (Age±SD: 33.9±3.4) living in urban areas. We asked the subjects to self-rate their experiences according to scales such as SOC and lifestyle habits and evaluation were made 39 items of self-claimed sheet of unidentified complaint. The results revealed a negative correlation between SOC score and unidentified complaint score (r=-0.580, p<0.01). The high unidentified complaint score group were higher the frequency of late-evening snacks consumption (p<0.05) and long time getting to sleep (p<0.01) than low unidentified complaint score group. Lastly, the results of logistic regression analysis revealed that the SOC score was the only significant independent factor; the dependent variable was the level of unidentified complaint and the independent variables were the SOC, frequency of late-evening snacks consumption and sleep-onset time (β=0.306, Wald=3.917, p=0.048, Exp (β)=0.736). The higher the SOC score suggested the possibility the preventive effect against the occurrence of indefinite complaint.
