Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of death anxiety among middle-aged and young adult patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) .Methods:Totally 176 middle-aged and young adult CHF patients treated at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital between January 2021 and February 2023 were selected by convenience sampling and investigated with a general information questionnaire, the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), and the Death Anxiety Scale.Results:A total of 176 questionnaires were distributed, with 170 valid responses, yielding an effective response rate of 96.59%. Among the 170 middle-aged and young adult CHF patients, 136 had low death anxiety, while 34 had high death anxiety. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level, per capita monthly family income, duration of illness, cardiac function classification, physical exercise, and coping style (yielding) were influencing factors of death anxiety in middle-aged and young adult CHF patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Death anxiety in middle-aged and young adult CHF patients is primarily associated with educational level, per capita monthly family income, duration of illness, cardiac function classification, physical exercise, and coping style (yielding). Clinical assessments should focus on these factors to provide timely and targeted psychological interventions.
