MeasureTime frame
Death anxiety is generally defined as a feeling of distress accompanied by fear that is focused on the death of oneself or others, as well as regarding death as the end of life. Timepoint: It takes two months before and after the study begins. Method of measurement: Templer Death Anxiety Questionnaire (1970; quoted from Ghorbanalipour, 2010).;Pain catastrophizing is one of the main mechanisms for generating anxious and supportive responses in others. Pain catastrophizing has been identified as an important cognitive-emotional variable in the context of the perceptual experience of pain. In addition, this variable, as a negative catastrophizing variable, causes individuals to be unable to control pain through rumination, grandiosity, and helplessness toward painful processes. Timepoint: It takes two months before and after the study begins. Method of measurement: Dard Rahmati Catastrophizing Questionnaire (2017).;Hope for life Hope is a positive motivational state that is based on a sense of persistence and direction and is the product of an individual's interaction with the environment; in other words, hope is: the capacity to imagine the ability to create paths towards desired goals and the idea of ??having the motivation to move along these paths. Timepoint: Dard Rahmati Catastrophizing Questionnaire (2017). Method of measurement: Life Expectancy Questionnaire (Schneider, 1991; quoted from Razavi, 1401).
