AIM: This review explores how salutogenesis impacts the mental well-being of individuals affected by substance addiction. [the salutogenic approach, emphasizes the determinants that promote health and well-being rather than solely focusing on the causes of disease.]

BACKGROUND: The study focuses on how salutogenesis, which emphasizes health-promoting factors, influences the psychological well-being of affected persons (APs). It examines the relationship between Sense of Coherence (SOC) and psychological well-being in this caregiving context.

METHODS: A scoping review was conducted to assess existing research on this topic.

RESULTS: A positive link between SOC and psychological well-being was identified, with a higher SOC associated with better mental health outcomes.

CONCLUSION: The findings give emphasis to the importance of SOC in improving psychological well-being and resilience among individuals affected by substance addiction. The review highlights the need for further research and interventions aimed at strengthening SOC to enhance mental health and coping skills.
