                            <p>Aim: The study aimed to determine the adaptation of people with chronic diseases to the disease and treatment, and to examine the relationship between the frequency of emergency department visits and quality of life.Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 people with chronic diseases admitted to the emergency department of a training and research hospital. Data were collected using the Patient Information Form, Adaptation to Chronic Diseases Assessment Scale, Morisky, Green, Levine Adherence Scale, and EuroQol-5D Quality of Life Scale.Results: The mean age of the people with chronic diseases was 69.37±12.17 years. The three most common chronic diseases were hypertension 76.6%, diabetes mellitus 39.3%, and heart failure 27.9%. In the last year, 31.8% of the patients had visited the emergency department more than three times. The mean total score of adaptation to chronic diseases was 65.33±7.39, the mean medication adherence score was 1.97±0.73 and the mean quality of life score was 56.87±17.78. There was a relationship between adaptation to chronic diseases and quality of life (p</p></trans-abstract>

Veriler “Hasta Tanılama Formu”, “Kronik Hastalıklara Uyumu Değerlendirme Ölçeği”, “Morisky, Green, Levine Uyum Ölçeği” ve “EuroQol-5D Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplandı.Bulgular: Kronik hastalığı olan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 69,37±12,17 idi. En sık görülen ilk üç kronik hastalık %76,6 hipertansiyon, %39,3 diabetes mellitus ve %27,9 kalp yetersizliği idi. Hastaların son bir yıl içinde %31,8’inin üç defadan fazla acil servise başvurmuştu. Kronik hastalıklara uyum toplam puan ortalaması 65,33±7,39, ilaç uyumu puan ortalaması 1,97±0,73 ve yaşam kalitesi puan ortalaması 56,87±17,78 idi.
