TI  - Effects of chronic illness adaptation on the healthy lifestyle behaviours of patients in internal services
AB  - Purpose: This descriptive study investigated the effects of chronic illness adaptation on the healthy lifestyle behaviours of patients in internal services. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted with 104 inpatients at the Bingöl State Hospital. No sampling method was used in the study. A descriptive information form was utilised to record the patients’ sociodemographic characteristics. The Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale (ACIS) and the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II (HLBS-II) were used to collect the data on their adaptation and behaviour levels. Results: The patients’ total mean ACIS score was 84.99±12.45, meaning that their adaptation to chronic illness was above average. Moreover, since their total mean HLBS-II score was 130.27±24.50, their adaptation to healthy lifestyle behaviours was moderate. The patients’ adaptation to chronic illness positively affected their healthy lifestyle behaviours (B=1.045), and this result was statistically significant. Conclusion: Chronic illness adaptation positively influenced healthy lifestyle behaviours.
