Abstract (1547 Views)
Aims: Coronary artery bypass grafting is a recommended and effective treatment for some heart patients. Among its psychological complications, death anxiety is one of the most common. Various factors can influence the development and severity of this anxiety. This study aimed to investigate death anxiety and its related factors in patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting.
Instrument & Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted at Shariati Hospital in Isfahan in 2024. A total of 100 coronary artery bypass grafting candidates admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit were selected through convenience sampling. After obtaining informed consent, participants were instructed to complete a questionnaire, which consisted of two parts, including demographic data and Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 through descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Findings: The overall level of death anxiety in patients was moderate. There was a significant relationship between death anxiety and parameters, such as age, sex, marital status, employment, and the presence of underlying disease (p≤0.05). However, no significant relationship was found with place of residence (urban/rural), education level, or duration of illness (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Death anxiety is influenced by various factors, such as age, gender, employment status, marital status, and religious beliefs.
