The aim of the present study was to examine the association between death attitudes and depressive and anxiety symptoms among Norwegian and Turkish women. 304 participants were recruited (N = 127 [41.8%]; N = 177 [58.2%]). The Beck Depression Inventory, the trait anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Death Attitude Profile-Revised were administered. The results showed that Fear of Death was positively correlated with anxiety symptoms among Turkish respondents; Approach Acceptance was negatively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms among Norwegian participants; and none of the death attitudes had significant negative associations with depressive and anxiety symptoms among Turkish participants. The analysis showed that Escape Acceptance was the only death attitude positively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms for both countries. We may thus hypothesise that Escape Acceptance is the most maladaptive death attitude for both countries. Patients with this death attitude should be paid closer attention.
本研究的目的是探讨挪威和土耳其女性对死亡的态度与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关联。招募了304名参与者（挪威127名[41.8%]；土耳其177名[58.2%]）。使用了贝克抑郁量表、状态-特质焦虑量表的特质焦虑分量表以及修订版死亡态度量表。结果显示，在土耳其受访者中，对死亡的恐惧与焦虑症状呈正相关；在挪威参与者中，对死亡的接纳与抑郁和焦虑症状呈负相关；而在土耳其参与者中，没有任何一种对死亡的态度与抑郁和焦虑症状存在显著的负相关。分析表明，逃避死亡的接纳是两个国家中唯一与抑郁和焦虑症状呈正相关的对死亡的态度。因此，我们可以假设，逃避死亡的接纳是两个国家中最适应不良的对死亡的态度。具有这种对死亡态度的患者应得到更多关注。
