Correlations of protective-adaptive behavior and the level of adaptation activity were determined in 48 men and 52 women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the necessity of this investigation from systemic positions of human adaptation was confirmed. Intercommunications of coping mechanisms and psychological protection ones with clinical characteristics of the disease were revealed. Distinct dominants in protective-adaptive behavior structure showing adaptation mechanisms tension in severe course of the disease and affective comorhidity with the tendency to the exhaustion of adaptive-compensatory resources were detected.
