Abstract (4 Views)
Aims: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) 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 CABG.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2024 at Shariati Hospital in Isfahan. A total of 100 CABG candidates admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit were selected via convenience sampling. After obtaining informed consent, participants were instructed on completing a questionnaire, which consisted of three parts: demographic data and Templer's Death Anxiety Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 through descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation.
Findings: The overall level of death anxiety in patients was moderate. There was a significant relationship between death anxiety and variables 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 prevalent among heart patients awaiting CABG. It is essential for healthcare providers, especially nurses in cardiac units, to recognize and address this concern. Understanding contributing factors can guide supportive interventions. Therefore, it is recommended to incorporate the topic of death anxiety into the training programs for caregivers of cardiac patients.
