| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The score that the patient obtains from the Templer Death Anxiety Questionnaire ranges from zero to fifteen. Timepoint: Before the start of the intervention, immediately, and eight weeks after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: The Death Anxiety Scale, developed by Templer in 1970, consists of 15 items that measure individuals' attitudes toward death. In this scale, subjects indicate their responses to each question with yes or no options, with a yes response indicating anxiety in the individual. Scores on this scale range from 0 to 15, with a higher score indicating greater anxiety about death.;The score that the patient obtains from the Schneider Life Expectancy Questionnaire ranges from eight to forty. Timepoint: Before the start of the intervention, immediately, and eight weeks after the end of the intervention. Method of measurement: Schneider's (1991) Life Expectancy Questionnaire has 12 items that measure the components of factorial thinking and strategic thinking. The scoring method is based on a five-point Likert scale from one (strongly disagree) to five (strongly agree). Items 3, 5, 7, and 11 are used to assess the accuracy of the participants' responses and are unscored. The range of scores is from 8 to 40 points, and a higher score is considered to mean a higher life expectancy. | — |
