BACKGROUND: Given the widespread presence of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) virus, it is critical to explore the psychological consequences of this disease on people at all levels of society. The purpose of this study was to look into the role of death anxiety as a mediator in the relationship between personality types and psychological well-being in people with COVID-19 disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, the research method is correlational in terms of descriptive data collection method. The statistical population consisted of all people who had experienced COVID-19 in Kermanshah, Iran 2020–2021, 220 of whom were chosen by the available sample method. The Ryff Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (PWBQ), the personality types of John and Srivastava's short five-factor list (BFI-SV), and the Collett-Lester Anxiety Death Scale were among the research instruments employed (CL-FODS). The suggested model was evaluated using the structural equation modeling strategy and the Amos software. RESULTS: The findings demonstrated that extraversion, adaptation, and conscientious personality types have a positive and significant relationship with psychological well-being while neuroticism has a negative and significant relationship with psychological well-being, and openness to experience indirectly improves psychological well-being by reducing death anxiety. CONCLUSION: Death anxiety appears to play a mediating role in the relationship between personality types and psychological well-being in people with COVID-19, according to the findings of this study. As a result, the proposed model fits well and can be used as an important step in identifying factors that affect people with COVID-19's psychological well-being.

“…Addressing death anxiety in the elderly population is imperative (13) because the elderly can be prone to death anxiety and psychological disorders due to the conditions their families impose on them, the inabilities due to increased age, and their care needs not being met. Thus, attention to death anxiety in this age group can increase their abilities and improve their performance in all aspects of their lives (14).…”

Methods: This descriptive cross-section study enrolled a convenience sample of 195 hospitalized and non-hospitalized elderlies in Ahwaz. Data collection tools included the demographic characteristics form and death anxiety questionnaire. Independent t-test, chi-square, and ANOVA analyzed data in SPSS v.16 software. Data collection was instituted after approval of the research ethics committee, and all ethical considerations such as informed consent were met. Results: This study was undertaken on 195 elderlies with a mean age of 66.06 ± 5.59 years (60 to 88 years), most of whom were male (61%). The mean death anxiety score was 111.98 ± 19.27 for hospitalized elderlies and 100.002 ± 25.12 for non-hospitalized ones. Statistical tests revealed that the two groups significantly differed in the total score of death anxiety and all its subscales except for the death of acquaintances (P < 0.05). Death anxiety had a statistically significant relationship with education level, gender, and marital status. Conclusions: The hospitalized, female, and low-educated elderly and those living alone had more death anxiety. Thus, it is imperative to offer social support to this vulnerable elderly group, perform periodical psychiatric evaluations, and utilize psychological interventions to improve the elderly's quality of life.

Background and Aim: Death anxiety is one of the most important developments in old age, which reduces the general functioning and psychological well-being of older adults and changes people’s perception of aging. The present study aimed to examine death anxiety and its relationship with the perception of aging in older adults visiting comprehensive healthcare centers in southern Iran. Materials and Methods This study was conducted using a correlational cross-sectional design. The research population included all elderly people over 60 years old supported by a university of medical sciences and medical services in southern Iran in 2021. The participants in the research sample were 231 older adults selected using cluster sampling. The data were collected using the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) and Aging Perception Questionnaire (APQ). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test, ANOVA, Spearman’s correlation test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test with SPSS software (version 23). A significance level of less than 0.05 was considered in this study. Results The participants’ mean age was 72.56 ± 9.04 years. Besides, most of the participants (129 persons (55.8%) were female, 177 persons (76.6%) were married, 118 persons (51.1%) were illiterate, and more than half of them had a monthly income level of less than one million Tomans. The mean score of death anxiety and perception of aging was 6.39 ± 4.06 and 110.29 ± 18.40, respectively. Moreover, there was a positive and significant relationship between death anxiety and perception of aging (r = 0.23; P < 0.05) in older adults. The data also indicated that death anxiety and perception of aging had a significant relationship with the place of residence, age, and the number of children (P < 0.05). Conclusion The present study showed that the older adults in this study experienced a moderate level of death anxiety. Furthermore, since death anxiety had a direct and significant relationship with the perception of aging, innovative interventions can be conducted to educate older adults to cope directly with their death anxiety and improve their mental health. In addition, the related authorities need to devise effective plans and policies to reduce death anxiety and improve positive perceptions of older adults about aging.
