Abstract

Strong sense of coherence (SOC) is assumed to promote and protect health in stressful situations, such as a serious illness. There is, however, surprisingly little research-based discussion on the SOC–distress association in cancer patients and especially in their partners. The aim of this study was to clarify these issues.
