Broadening the Discourse on Death Anxiety: Unexplored Dimensions and Holistic Perspectives

Abstract

Understanding death anxiety among patients is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide personalized care and support strategies. Cultural and social norms play a significant role in shaping an individual's perception of death. While some cultures accept death as a natural and cyclical process, others tend to avoid it. Therefore, healthcare professionals must consider these factors to develop effective assistance strategies. This our discourse emphasizes the importance of comprehensively evaluating death anxiety to contribute to the study of Özpancar Şolpan et al. on this subject.
