Abstract

This article focuses on a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol examining the relationship between death anxiety and self-esteem, based on research conducted at University College Cork, Ireland. The study aims to synthesize quantitative research to determine the strength and significance of this association, guided by Terror Management Theory (TMT), which posits self-esteem as a protective factor against death anxiety. The research involves comprehensive database searches and quality assessments following PRISMA guidelines, with potential analysis of demographic and clinical moderators. Findings are intended to validate TMT and inform future interventions targeting self-esteem to reduce death anxiety and improve mental health outcomes. [Extracted from the article]
