Abstract:
According to "holistic" model of physician's approach to the patient, physical, psychological and social aspects should be taken into account when we assess disease and effects of diagnostics and treatment. Those attributes form health related quality of life. Patient's disposition to disease depends on many psychological factors, among them sense of coherence (SOC). Sense of coherence is a health-promoting life orientation, perceiving the world as comprehensible, manageable and meaningful. The prevalence of allergic diseases is dramatically increasing. This epidemy strongly influences comfort of patient's life. In our paper we try to present the current knowledge on sense of coherence as a factor potentially influencing the course of allergic diseases.
