NCT06801132
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of the online self-delivered death anxiety intervention developed by our team in the general population with a randomized controlled trial. The study will recruit 50 participants, with 25 randomized to the death anxiety intervention group and 25 randomized to the control group (waiting list). The online intervention on death anxiety consists of 4 phases that take about 2 hours in total. The primary outcome DAS (Death Anxiety Scale) and DABBS (Death Anxiety Beliefs and Behaviors Scale) will be administered on baseline, post-treatment, 1-week follow-up, and 2-week follow-up assessments.
NCT07201480
The goal of this experimental study is to investigate the transdiagnostic role of death anxiety in depression and anxiety symptoms in participants from the general population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the mortality salience task induce death anxiety? 2. Does the experimental group present an increase in depression and anxiety symptoms following the mortality salience task? The investigators will compare the experimental condition to a control condition to see if the death anxiety induction is responsible for the expected increase in depression and anxiety symptoms. The mortality salience prompt will be asking participants to elaborate on their thoughts and feelings surrounding death and dying, including what they think happens during death. The dental pain prompt will ask participants to do the same, only in regards to the thought of having dental pain. Experimental group: participants will undergo a pen-and-paper writing task where they will be asked to answer two questions: 1. "Please briefly describe the emotions that the thought of your own death arouses in you." 2. "Jot down, as specifically as you can, what you think will happen to you physically as you die and once you are physically dead." Control group: 1. "Please briefly describe the emotions that the thought of dental pain arouses in you." 2. "Jot down, as specifically as you can, what you think happens to you physically as you experience dental pain and once you have physically experienced dental pain."

There has been growing awareness of the importance of death anxiety (DA) in pathological anxiety. DA is defined as a persistent and unreasonable fear of death and thoughts, fears, and emotions associated with the end of life. DA has been suggested as a core fear that underpins the emergence and perseverance of numerous anxiety disorders. However, previous DA-based treatment studies focus on the elderly, the patients, or health professionals who care for the terminally ill. Therefore, there is a need to examine the effect of psychological interventions on DA and current disorder symptoms in a clinical sample through randomized controlled trials. The current study aims to develop a novel Religiously Integrated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RCBT)-based intervention on DA in individuals diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and to compare the effectiveness of RCBT-based intervention with classical CBT-based intervention.
NCT06810999
The main purpose of this placebo controlled trial is to test the efficacy of a one-session From Fear to Purpose ACT intervention in reducing self-reported death anxiety levels. Another objective of this study is to investigate whether reductions in death anxiety levels are associated with reductions in depression and anxiety levels, thus testing if death anxiety is a transdiagnostic factor involved in psychopathology.

This study aimed to determine the mediating role of death anxiety in the relationship between religious attitudes and spiritual care needs of hemodialysis (HD) patients in Turkey. The research was designed as a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A total of 203 patients were included in the study. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Religious Attitude Scale (RAS), Spiritual Care Needs Scale (SCNS), and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) were used for data collection. In this study, it was found that the indirect effect of religious attitudes on spiritual care needs was significant, and death anxiety mediated the relationship between religious attitudes and spiritual care needs (b= -1.754, 95% CI \[-2.95, -0.65\]). It can be concluded that death anxiety in HD patients directs individuals towards religious attitudes, and in this case, the need for spiritual care increases. In other words, death anxiety mediates the relationship between religious attitudes and spiritual care needs. Therefore, nurses should include spiritual care when providing nursing care for HD patients.
