摘要
This study sought to explore and describe the sense of coherence (SOC) and quality of life (QoL) in elderly people living with diabetes mellitus (DM). Participants were 72 elderly persons with DM (men = 19, women = 53, M (age) = 74.33, SD = 7.78). Data were collected using the Sense of Coherence Inventory (SOC-29) and WHOQOL-100. Cramer's V was used to assess the relationship between the SOC-29 and the WHOQOL-100. Results suggest that the elderly persons had a strong SOC and perceived themselves as having a satisfactory QoL. The correlational analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between these two measures for the current sample. Elderly persons with DM seemed to have personal resources and capacities for living well with their health condition.
