ObjectiveA systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed to identify the factors related to cancer death anxiety based on available evidence.DesignThis systematic review and meta‐analysis followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.MethodsSeven databases were searched to identify studies on the relationships of cancer death anxiety with demographic characteristics, disease factors and psychosocial factors from inception to May 2023. The Agency for Medical Research and Quality (AHRQ) scale was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. After two researchers independently completed the literature search, data extraction and quality evaluation, meta‐analysis was conducted by using RevMan5.3 and Stata 17.0 software.ResultsIn total, 52 studies were included in this review. The results revealed that there were positive correlations of death anxiety with female sex, the symptom burden, anxiety levels, depression levels, fear of recurrence, attachment avoidance, psychological distress, resignation and confrontation coping. Death anxiety was negatively correlated with age, education level, ability to perform daily activities, self‐esteem, spiritual well‐being, sense of meaning in life, resilience, quality of life, social support and religious beliefs.ConclusionsOur results can inform the design of interventions to address death anxiety and improve the overall quality of life of cancer patients. Healthcare professionals should promptly identify and focus on death anxiety in high‐risk populations of cancer patients.Relevance to Clinical PracticeCancer patients commonly experience death anxiety, and this anxiety has a nonnegligible impact on patients' mental health and overall quality of life. This study can inform the development of interventions by clinical healthcare professionals.No Patient or Public ContributionThis was a meta‐analysis based on data from previous studies.

“…Turkish validation study of the scale developed by Lee (2020) reported a mean score of 6.66±2.65 (Evren et al, 2020). Another study reported a mean anxiety score of 1.35±2.60 in breast cancer patients in Türkiye (Kiyak and Türkben Polat, 2022). Moreover, in a study investigating the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and professional performance level in healthcare professionals working in emergency medical services, the mean anxiety score was reported as 1.95±1.10 (Hoşgör et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on eating and food shopping habits among the Turkish adult population. Material and method: Demographics, eating and food shopping habits, and food label reading habits of the participants were collected via online surveys. Coronavirus anxiety was assessed using the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. The survey was conducted from November 2021 to the end of January 2022. Student's t-test was used to determine the statistical difference between quantitative variables. Chi-Square and Marginal Homogeneity Tests, depending on the number of categories, were used to determine the difference between qualitative variables. Results and discussion: Unpackaged food consumption decreased during the pandemic. More than half of the participants started to pay more attention to food labels, spend less time for grocery shopping, and started using nutritional supplements. The changes in eating, grocery shopping, and food label reading habits among Turkish consumers during the pandemic have been demonstrated.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, Eylül-Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Veriler, Google Forms çevirimiçi anket uygulaması kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler anket formu, Ölüm Anksiyetesi Ölçeği ve Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi, Pearson Korelasyon analizi ve çoklu lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır.

Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ile Ölüm Anksiyetesi Ölçeği toplam puanı arasında pozitif (r=0,604, p<0,001), Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği Toplam puanı ile Covid-19 aşılanma durumu arasında negatif yönde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür (r=-1,163, p<0,001). Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puan düzeyindeki değişim %37 oranında ölüm anksiyetesi ve Covid-19 aşılanma durumu tarafından açıklandığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır (R2= 0,374).
