Objective:
to analyze the sense of coherence and its relationship with the health-promoting lifestyle in students of a public university in Sonora, Mexico.
Methodology:
descriptive and correlational study, 44 students in the careers of computer science, physics and geology participated. A socio-demographic data card, the sense of coherence scale 13 and the Lifestyle II questionnaire were used. Data analysis was performed with central trend and dispersion measurements, the chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used, using a significance level of alpha 0.05.
Results:
the average age of students was 20 years, 70.5 % were male and single, 52.3 % showed a low sense of overall coherence, predominantly in men (54.8 %). 56.8 % obtained an insufficient health-promoting lifestyle, mostly in women (69.2 %). The sense of coherence had a significant positive correlation with the health-promoting lifestyle (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
the transition to university life is an important and critical period for students, it is a priority to establish health promotion and education programs with a salutogenic approach, with the aim of strengthening the use of the accessible resources and developing a stronger sense of coherence in students, fostering a permanent health-promoting lifestyle.
