Objective:

To investigate the Sense of Coherence (SOC) profile specifically among stabilized schizophrenia inpatients and identify factors associated with SOC.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Mean SOC score was 53.35 ± 11.81 among participants.
• SOC positively correlated with all five dimensions of CBF-PI and subjective social support, indicating stronger personal traits and support enhance SOC.
• SOC negatively correlated with objective support and support utilization, suggesting that reliance on external support may not benefit SOC.
• Significant predictors of SOC included personal income, frequency of physical activity (≥3 times/week), and having children as primary caregivers.

Interpretation:

Stabilized schizophrenia inpatients exhibit lower SOC levels compared to healthy normative values and some outpatient samples, indicating a need for targeted interventions. Subjective support is positively correlated with SOC, while objective support shows negative associations, highlighting the complexity of support systems.

Limitations:

• Moderate internal consistency of the SSRS (Cronbach’s α = 0.626) may affect the interpretation of social support dimensions, potentially skewing results.
• The cross-sectional design limits causal inferences, making it difficult to establish direct relationships between variables.

Conclusion:

The findings suggest the potential value of tailored interventions to enhance subjective support and promote physical activity among stabilized schizophrenia inpatients, which may improve their overall mental health and recovery outcomes.
