Abstract

By systematically reviewing existing studies on the sense of coherence (SOC) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), this paper summarizes the current research status and analyzes major influencing factors associated with SOC in this population. Parkinson's disease is characterized by progressive motor dysfunction accompanied by complex psychological and social challenges, which significantly impair patients’ adaptive capacity and quality of life. As a core psychological construct derived from the salutogenic model, sense of coherence represents an individual's ability to comprehend, manage, and assign meaning to stressful life events. Increasing evidence suggests that SOC plays a crucial protective role in psychological adjustment, disease coping, and health behavior maintenance among patients with chronic illnesses. This review integrates domestic and international findings to clarify the multidimensional determinants of SOC in PD patients, including social support, educational level, disease severity, psychological status, exercise participation, and adaptive capacity. Furthermore, the clinical implications of strengthening SOC through nursing interventions are discussed. The study aims to provide theoretical support for developing targeted psychosocial and nursing strategies to enhance psychological resilience, promote self-management ability, and ultimately improve quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease.
