This study aimed to investigate the relationship
between sense of coherence and depression
and the mediating role of self-disclosure in lung cancer patients. Α
cross-sectional study was conducted in “Sotiria” Chest Diseases Hospital,
Greece, with a sample of 200 lung cancer patients. The administered questionnaires included demographic-medical
information, SOC-13, Distress Disclosure Index, and CES-D scale. Analysis was performed by SPSS v.23 and
PROCESS. Depression was common (41%) and negatively correlated to SOC (rho = -0.843, df = 198, p < 0.001), while
self-disclosure did not mediate this relationship. Hierarchical linear
regression analysis showed that patients with weak SOC, disease recurrence,
metastases, low income, and receiving therapy in Day clinic had higher levels
of depression. In conclusion, a strong SOC represents a protective factor
against depression in lung cancer patients. Consequently, there is a need for
targeted interventions, which should mainly increase SOC of these patients.
