Two samples of female nursing undergraduates from Egypt (n = 132) and Spain (n = 126) responded to the Arabic Scale of Death Anxiety, the Spanish Death Anxiety Inventory, the Templer's Death Anxiety Scale, the Kuwait University Anxiety Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Subscale. Each sample answered the scales in their native language. Alpha reliabilities of the total score scales ranged from 0.65 to 0.91 (Egyptian sample) and between 0.71 and 0.90 (Spanish sample). The Spanish respondents attained significantly lower mean scores than the Egyptian sample in all the 5 scales. All the intercorrelations between these scales were statistically significant, and yielded two factors: Death Anxiety and General Anxiety in both countries. The correlations between these factors were significant, positive, and moderate, that is, 0.57 and 0.50 in the Egyptian and Spanish samples, respectively. The general conclusion is that Death Anxiety and General Anxiety are 2 different, but correlated factors.
来自埃及（n = 132）和西班牙（n = 126）的两组女性护理专业本科生样本分别对阿拉伯语死亡焦虑量表、西班牙死亡焦虑量表、坦普勒死亡焦虑量表、科威特大学焦虑量表以及状态-特质焦虑量表的特质分量表进行了作答。每个样本均用其母语回答这些量表。总分量表的α信度在0.65至0.91之间（埃及样本）以及在0.71至0.90之间（西班牙样本）。在所有5个量表中，西班牙受访者的平均得分显著低于埃及样本。这些量表之间的所有相互关系均具有统计学意义，并产生了两个因素：两国的死亡焦虑和一般焦虑。这些因素之间的相关性显著、呈正且适中，即在埃及样本和西班牙样本中分别为0.57和0.50。总体结论是，死亡焦虑和一般焦虑是两个不同但相关的因素。
