The study was conducted to determine the death anxiety experienced by heart patients and the affecting factors in the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted with 148 patients hospitalized in the cardiology clinic of a university hospital between April and August 2021 in the southeast in Turkey. The data were collected with the personal information form, death anxiety scale, coronavirus anxiety scale and Covid-19 fear scale developed by the researchers. Data analysis was performed by using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the data. Correlation and regression analysis were performed to determine the relationship between scales. The mean age of the patients was 64.99+15.56 years and 56.1% were male. 57.4% of them were hospitalized with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease. During the pandemic, it was determined that 74.3% of the patients followed social distance, 71.6% wore masks, 58.8% used disinfectants. The patients had moderate death anxiety, low coronavirus anxiety, and high covid 19 fear. A positive linear correlation was found between anxiety and fear scale and death anxiety total and sub-dimensions. As a result, the fear of COVID-19 may increase the fear of death in individuals with heart disease. Patients who are worried about being infected with Covid 19 during the pandemic process have more fear of death.
本研究旨在确定心脏病患者在新冠疫情期间所经历的死亡焦虑及影响因素。该研究于2021年4月至8月在土耳其东南部一所大学医院的心脏病科对148名住院患者进行。研究人员通过自行编制的个人信息表、死亡焦虑量表、冠状病毒焦虑量表和新冠恐惧量表收集数据。数据分析使用IBM SPSS Statistics 25软件进行。描述性统计用于数据分析。进行相关性和回归分析以确定各量表之间的关系。患者的平均年龄为64.99±15.56岁，男性占56.1%。其中57.4%因冠状动脉疾病住院。在疫情期间，74.3%的患者遵守社交距离，71.6%的患者佩戴口罩，58.8%的患者使用消毒剂。患者存在中度死亡焦虑、低度冠状病毒焦虑和高度新冠恐惧。焦虑和恐惧量表与死亡焦虑总分及各维度之间存在正线性相关。结果表明，对新冠的恐惧可能会增加心脏病患者对死亡的恐惧。在疫情期间担心感染新冠的患者对死亡的恐惧更强。
