PURPOSE: Psychological regulation has a significant influence on the health outcome of chronic illness. However, in the current edition of International Degree of Health Classification (ICF), the classification of psychological adjustment is unknown. Our goal is to (i) explain the psychological adjustment process for chronic diseases and (ii) analyze how to incorporate various psychological adjustment processes into ICF. RESULTS: Stress of acute and persistent disease; emotional, cognitive and behavioral responses; personal background; social and environmental background are the main categories of the adjustment process. In principle, these categories can be combined with various components of the ICF. Any future revision of ICF should be clearly included in psychological adjustment and its (sub) category.

In this article we will look at the literature on the adjustment of physical illness. Reconciliation is always defined in the literature as a specific aspect of mental function. However, in reality, adjustment is a process that begins with the onset of symptoms, persists through disease, and responds to changes in the condition. Physical illness can be conceptualized as a cause of stress whose requirements are dependent on the characteristics and severity of the disease. Recent studies have confirmed that many factors associated with the onset of mental disorders are also associated with the onset of psychological problems in people with malnutrition in the absence of physical illness It is. The prevalence of psychological disorders has been found to be quite high among people with various health problems. In order to provide optimal health care, promoting the patient's adaptation to the disease must be a priority

In psychology, adjustment refers to the process of behavior that balances the needs challenged by conflicting needs and environmental barriers. Humans and animals often adapt to the environment. For example, when they are motivated by physiological conditions to find food, they eat (possibly) to reduce their hunger and therefore adapt to hunger. Adjustment barriers can occur when the specific needs and pressures within the environment can not be adjusted properly. In this model, the adjustment is regarded as a specific moment. We are considering individual adjustments to the issue, not all the issues they face. Adjusting well to a scene is irrelevant to trying to adapt to scenes that have no other relationship. An example of this approach is to observe poor students who start studying during the holidays. They do not have a family environment that they can study effectively.
