Abstract :Aim: The objective of this study is to determine anger levels and anger expression style of adolescents with chronic diseases and variables that cause anger. Material and Method: This is a systematic review based on a search on Turkish and English indexes between February-June 2021. For screening, databases were searched using the keywords “adolescent, chronic illness, anger, anger expression style, anger management, anger control, anger level, trait anger”. During the data collection phase, full texts of 1788articles were accessed. Results: According to most of the studies examined within the scope of the research, it has been revealed that adolescents with chronic diseases have higher anger levels than healthy adolescents and that there are many factors that affect anger in adolescents with chronic diseases. Among these factors, age, school success and knowledge about treatment stand out. In addition, a relationship was found between anger and impulsivity, suicidal behavior, self-concept and resilience. Conclusion: Adolescents with chronic illness have high anger levels. They have trouble in controlling and expressing their anger. It has been determined that variables such as mental illness, gender, school success and age affect anger status in adolescents.
