Sense of Coherence Scale

The Sense of Coherence Scale measures an individual's overall perception of how comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful their life is. Health professionals use this scale to assess how effectively people cope with stress and challenges, reflecting their psychological resilience and overall health.

The three factors of sense of coherence are comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. Comprehensibility refers to how well individuals perceive their life as structured and predictable, manageability relates to their ability to handle challenges, and meaningfulness involves finding purpose and significance in their experiences.

A strong sense of coherence indicates that an individual perceives their life as well-structured, manageable, and meaningful, leading to better coping with stress and improved psychological well-being. It reflects a high level of resilience and an effective use of internal and external resources.
