Abstract

This study investigated the correlations between spirituality, religious attitude, resilience, and death anxiety among 414 cardiovascular patients in Sanandaj, Iran. Results showed that living in rural areas was associated with significantly higher death anxiety, while higher religious attitude and resilience scores were significantly linked to lower death anxiety; spirituality was not significantly associated after adjustment. The study suggests that counseling involving psychologists and clergy may help reduce death anxiety in these patients. These findings highlight the importance of psychosocial and demographic factors in managing death anxiety among cardiovascular patients.
