This study aimed at investigating death anxiety and its related factors in Chinese elderly people during COVID-19. This study totally interviewed 264 participants from four cities in different regions of China. Death anxiety scale (DAS), NEO-Five-Factor Inventory (Neo-FFI) and Brief COPE were scored on the basis of one-on-one interviews. Quarantine experience didn't make significant difference in death anxiety among the elderly; Elderly people with high death anxiety had higher scores of neuroticism, and were more likely to use a Behavior Disengagement coping strategy; Multiple linear regression analysis showed that neuroticism, openness and COVID impact predicted 44.6% of the variance in the death anxiety among elderly people. The results support both theories of vulnerability-stress model and terror management theory (TMT). In the post-epidemic era, we suggest to pay attention to the mental health status of elderly people with personality susceptibility to handling the stress of infection badly.
本研究旨在调查新冠疫情期间中国老年人的死亡焦虑及其相关因素。本研究共采访了来自中国不同地区四个城市的264名参与者。通过一对一访谈对死亡焦虑量表（DAS）、大五人格量表（Neo-FFI）和简易应对方式问卷进行评分。隔离经历在老年人的死亡焦虑方面没有显著差异；死亡焦虑高的老年人神经质得分更高，且更倾向于采用行为脱离应对策略；多元线性回归分析表明，神经质、开放性和新冠疫情影响可预测老年人死亡焦虑变异的44.6%。研究结果支持了脆弱性-应激模型理论和恐惧管理理论（TMT）。在后疫情时代，我们建议关注那些性格易受感染应激影响的老年人的心理健康状况。
