Abstract: The study was to measure the sense of coherence among B.Sc nursing final year students. The study was carried out using a non-experimental descriptive design. The study included 75 samples drawn from a selected college in Chennai using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The questionnaire (demographic factors) and Antonovsky's 13-item sense of coherence scale were used to collect data. The instrument was divided into two sections: demographic factors and Antonovsky's 13-item sense of coherence scale. The data was obtained after gaining authorization from the appropriate authorities. According to the study findings, nearly half of the students 38 (50.70%) belong to the high SOC (? median) group, showing a higher overall sense of coherence, while the remaining students 37 (49.30%) belong to the low SOC (? median) group, indicating a lesser sense of coherence. The median SOC score was 52, with a mean of 50.61 and a standard deviation of 9.44, indicating a moderately distributed SOC score distribution among the students. These data demonstrate the range of pupil levels of coherence.
Keywords: College students (demographic variables), Antonovsky's 13-item sense of coherence scale
