    The study analyzed 438 stabilized schizophrenia inpatients to explore the Sense of Coherence (SOC) and its influencing factors.

  • 2

    Mean SOC score among participants was 53.35, indicating lower levels compared to healthy norms and outpatient samples.

  • 3

    SOC positively correlated with all dimensions of Big Five personality traits and subjective social support, but negatively with objective support.

  • 4

    Significant predictors of higher SOC included personal income, frequent physical activity, and having children as primary caregivers.

  • 5

    The findings suggest tailored interventions to enhance subjective support and promote physical activity may improve SOC in schizophrenia patients.
