Self-management is critical to improve health outcomes of elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Sense of coherence (SOC) is found to be linked with self-management behaviors. However, their deeper relationship is not clear. The purposes of this study were to investigate the association between SOC and self-management behaviors among elderly CHD patients in China, and whether confrontation mediates this association.
