EV0808 E-PosterMood and AnxietyCross-sectional comparative study # An examination of anxiety and depressive symptoms in individuals who have experienced ischemic stroke and healthy controls in relation to sense of coherence and ego-resiliency ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SENSE OF COHERENCE AND EGO-RESILIENCY, IN PEOPLE AFTER ISCHEMIC STROKE AND HEALTHY CONTROLS Presenter: Paweł G. Dębski Country: Poland Institution: Śląski Uniwersytet Medyczny w Katowicach After ischemic stroke, a stronger sense of coherence and greater ego-resiliency are associated with lower severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms. The aim of the study was to assess the relationships of sense of coherence and ego-resiliency with the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms in individuals who had experienced ischemic stroke and healthy individuals. The study included a total of 440 participants: 220 individuals following ischemic stroke (mean age 48.57 ± 13.15; 146 women) and 220 healthy controls (mean age 29.12 ± 8.97; 172 women). The assessment instruments were the HADS for anxiety and depressive symptoms, the SOC-29 for sense of coherence, and the ER89 for ego-resiliency. Pearson’s r correlation coefficient and Student’s t-test were used in the analysis, with the significance level set at alpha ≤ 0.05. In the stroke group, the strongest relationships were found between comprehensibility and anxiety (r=-0.647), meaningfulness and depression (r=-0.680), optimal regulation and anxiety (r=-0.380), and optimal regulation and depression (r=-0.493), with p=0.000 for all four correlations. Compared with controls, individuals following stroke had higher levels of depressive symptoms (p=0.000) and a stronger sense of manageability (p=0.005), but lower resilience in the openness to life experiences subdimension (p=0.003) and a weaker sense of meaningfulness (p=0.000). Sense of coherence emerged as a significant negative correlate of both symptom clusters. The authors suggest that strengthening sense of coherence and resilience after ischemic stroke may prevent the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and that these psychological resources could be targeted in post-stroke mental health support.
