Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This research examines whether or not socio-demographic factors and hope predict death anxiety among patients with heart disease.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our sample consisted of 500 respondents who were hospitalized in a medical institution in Iran. Data were collected using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS) and the Herth Hope Index (HHI).

RESULTS: The results of current study indicated that higher economic status, having one's main source of income from friends, increased age, increased religious belief, and increased hope were associated with lower death anxiety.

CONCLUSION: These results highlight that improving hope, and religiosity among cardiac patients may be an effective means by which to reduce their death anxiety.
