Introduction The central theme of this review will cover the empowerment and spirituality of chronically ill patients in the elderly, focusing on gender and different cultural backgrounds. I showed how literature on this topic evolved into cultural background and how it affects the way people empower people through spiritual and cultural background to improve health and well-being It is. The body is in existing literature to show how influence of spiritual beliefs and customs affects African-American specific culture in lively and healthy homeland (Johnson, Elbert-Avila, Tulsky , 2005).

The purpose of this paper is to explore and demonstrate understanding of how chronic patients adapt to change. Chronic diseases are defined as sustained or long-term persistent or frequent health problems (Smith 1997). Chronic diseases are usually applied to diseases that are treatable but can not necessarily be cured. It may gradually worsen over time. It can cause a permanent change in the body. It increases the pressure and definitely affects the quality of people's lives.

What is a chronic physical condition? Chronic physical disorders are persistent health problems such as diabetes, asthma, arthritis, and cancer that do not disappear. Chronic diseases of the body can be controlled, but these diseases can not be cured. People with chronic illness are at high risk of anxiety and depression. Depression is an important risk factor for heart disease. Depression is common in people with heart disease and may affect recovery and may increase the risk of cardiac events such as heart disease and sudden death 2. Risk anxiety of heart disease may also be a risk factor for heart attacks and other cardiac related events

The first chronic disease is a chronic disease. If the cause is a chronic disease, any disease is a chronic disease. If the cause is chronic, there are both sickness and illness. The main diseases are caused by the existence of cause. This is not surprising. If the patient has a chronic cause, it can cause chronic infection. Due to a chronic diet shortage, patients may develop scurvy. There is no medicine to treat chronic diseases. Providing a healthy diet in a short period of time can treat the disease, but it can not treat chronic diseases. Treatment of chronic diseases is not only to solve the cause, but also to solve the cause, ie cause chronic disease. This type of chronic disease claims or suggests that it is an incurable disease because it can not be treated, it is medical ignorance, medical credibility
