Wprowadzenie. Poczucie koherencji (SOC) zdefiiowane zostało jako względnie stała orientacja, wyznaczająca okre- ślony sposób spostrzegania świata, jako przewidywalnego, sterowalnego oraz wartego wysiłku i zaangażowania. Materiał i metodyka. Przebadano 336 ratowników medycznych czynnych zawodowo, pracujących w wyjazdowych zespołach ratownictwa medycznego na terenie Polski. Badania realizowano w Stacjach Pogotowia Ratunkowego i Szpitalnych Oddziałach Ratunkowych. Poczucie koherencji oceniono za pomocą kwestionariusza SOC – 29. cel pracy. Celem pracy było ustalenie czy zmienne socjodemografizne różnicują poczucie koherencji i jej składowe w grupie ratowników medycznych. Wyniki. Ogólne poczucie koherencji nie różnicowało kobiet i mężczyzn w grupie ratowników medycznych. Istotna róż- nica zaznaczyła się w podskali zrozumiałości, przy p = 0,020. Z analizy pozostałych danych demografiznych przy użyciu r Spearmana, przy p < 0,05, wynika, że wiek i staż pracy ankietowanych w sposób istotny statystycznie różnicował zrozumiałość. Średni poziom poczucia koherencji dla ratowników medycznych z wykształceniem policealnym wynosił 141,64, przy N = 259 i był nieco niższy w stosunku do grupy z wykształceniem licencjackim, gdzie uzyskano 144,17, przy N = 77. Wnioski. Poczucie koherencji okazało się być stałą zmienną osobowościową u ratowników medycznych. Mniej stabilne było poczucie zrozumiałości.

Introduction. The sense of coherence (SOC) has been defied as relatively constant orientation determining a specifi way of perceiving the world as something predictable, controllable, worth effrt and commitment. Material and methodology. 336 paramedics who lead active working lives have been examined. They all work in paramedical teams reaching patients in need in Poland. The research has been conducted in Ambulance Stations and Hospital Emergency Services. The sense of coherence has been established with the use of SOC-29 Questionnaire. The aim of the study. The aim of the study was to establish whether socio-demographic variables diversify the sense of coherence and its components in a group of paramedics. The results. The general sense of coherence has not been diffrent among women and men in a group of paramedics. A signifiant diffrence has been noticeable on the comprehensibility subscale, with p = 0,020. On the basis of the analysis of the rest of the demographic data, with the use of r Spearman, with p < 0,05, it has appeared that the respondents’ age and work experience has diversifid comprehensibility in a way signifiant statistically. The average level of the sense of coherence in paramedics with college education has amounted to 141,64, with N = 259 and has been slightly lower in comparison with the group with undergraduate education, where the level has amounted to 144,17, with N = 77. conclusion. The sense of coherence has turned out to be a constant variable of a paramedic’s personality. The sense of comprehensibility has been less constant.

The aim of the study is to analyse the sense of coherence (SOC) and strategies of coping with stress in fathers of disabled children. The research involved 128 fathers of children with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and children with normal development. Two questionnaires were used: The Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC-29) measuring SOC level and Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) measuring strategies of coping with stress. The research revealed that there is a relationship between the type of child's developmental disability and SOC in fathers. The fathers with a low level of SOC more frequently used strategies of avoidance while the fathers with a high level of SOC more frequently used confrontation, positive reappraisal and planful problem solving. The results of the research indicate that looking after a disabled child may lower SOC and in turn may cause difficulties in coping with stress.

Objective: There are two theories (by Horowitz and by Foa) which attempt at explaining the process of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development by information dissonance. The purpose of the present study was to verify these theories via cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Materials and Methods: The study based on a cross-sectional design was performed on a representative group of Polish firefighters. The study using a longitudinal protocol was conducted among police officers. The level of PTSD was assessed using the Questionnaire for PTSD Measurement (K-PTSD). The sense of coherence (SOC) was measured with the Polish adaptation of the Orientation to Life Questionnaire by A. Antonovsky. Results: In the cross-sectional study, the correlation coefficients between K-PTSD and SOC were –0.35 (p < 0.001) in the group of firefighters and –0.47 (p < 0.001) in that of police officers. In the longitudinal study, the relationship between SOC and PTSD symptoms appeared to be curvilinear and had the U-letter shape. Therefore, we used ANOVA for statistical analysis. Unfortunately, the F(2.31) = 1.900 and p > 0.05 indicated that the tendency we observed was not statistically significant. Conclusions: We would like to propose two possible explanations for the difference in the relationships between SOC and PTSD symptoms obtained in the studies employing the cross-sectional and the longitudinal protocols.

Background: Police officers meet many stressors as part of their occupation. The psychological resource "sense of coherence" (SOC) protects against ill-health, but its impact on coping resources for stress situations has not been studied in the population of police officers. Different approaches to investigate the significance of SOC for different outcomes have been identified in literature, leading to some difficulties in the interpretation and generalization of results. The aim was therefore to explore SOC and the coping resources, and to examine the significance of SOC for various coping resources for stress using different models in a sample of Swedish police officers providing on-the-beat service. Materials and Methods: One hundred and one police officers (age: mean = 33 years, SD = 8; 29 females) were included, and the Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-29) and the Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) were used. The dependent variable in each regression analysis was one of the coping resources: cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual/philosophical, physical, and a global resource. Global SOC-29 and/or its components (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness) were investigated as independent variables. Results: All CRI and SOC-29 scores except for that of spiritual/philosophical resources were higher than those of reference groups. Manageability was the most important component of SOC for various coping resources in stress situations used by police officers. Conclusion: A deeper study of manageability will give useful information, because this component of SOC is particularly significant in the variation in resources used by police officers to cope with stress. Salutogenesis, the origin of well-being, should be more in focus of future research on workplaces with a high level of occupational stress.
