the process of developing a person’s ability to effectively cope with stress, health problems and psychological problems, as well as to maintain psychological stability in difficult circumstances. In the case of chronic diseases, this concept helps people adapt to physical changes, cope with pain or chronic fatigue, and maintain an adequate quality of life. It includes teaching problem-solving skills, controlling emotions, using relaxation techniques and seeking social support, which increases a person’s resistance to the disease and reduces its negative psychological and physical impact.
