| Zusammenfassung: | The aim of this research was to investigate how death anxiety is related to levels of religious coping in individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Gaining insight into this connection could potentially provide and affect well-being but also contribute to disease processes. This cross-sectional study involved 247 patients with cardiovascular disease who presented at a university hospital in Turkiye. Data pertinent to the research was acquired face-to-face with a sociodemographic data collection tool, the death anxiety scale, and the religious coping styles scale. There was a weak relationship between positive religious coping and death anxiety (r = .24, p < .05) and a very weak relationship between negative religious coping (r = .17, p < .05). Both positive and negative religious coping styles were found to be related to death anxiety. The variables showing the strongest effect in relationship with death anxiety were positive (Exp. (B) = 1.09, 95% CI [1.02, 1.15], p < .01) and negative (Exp. (B) = 1.13, 95% CI [1.05, 1.22], p < .01) scores on the religious coping styles scale. Death anxiety among patients with cardiovascular disease is a multidimensional experience shaped by several factors, including religious beliefs, coping styles, health status, and the social environment. |
