Aim: This research is planned to identify the effect of exercise on death anxiety in women in the post-menopausal period. Methods: This research is an experiment patterned study (Pre-test/post-test control group model). This model is a two-factor experimental design that shows repetitive measurements (pre-test- post-test) and subjects (experiment-control) in different categories. A total of 36 women voluntarily participated in the study in Erzincan, including 18 women in the experimental group who go through menopause and exercise, and 18 women in the control group who go through menopause and never exercise. The experimental group were given Pilates exercises 3 days a week for 8 weeks, and the control group were asked to preserve their daily lives without regular exercise. In the research, personal information form containing sociodemographic variables of individuals and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) form adapted to Turkish by Akça, Köse (2008) were used as data collection tools. After identifying the distribution characteristics in the analysis of the data, paired t-test was used for in-group comparisons and independence sample t-test was used for intergroup comparisons in order to identify the effectiveness of the exercise program and to discover the difference between the first and last test scores of the groups. Results: In the Death Anxiety Scale, the mean death anxiety score was found to be 8.66 as a result of the pre-test performed in the experimental group. And after the exercise, the mean score was 8.38. Although there was no statistically significant difference, there was a decrease in the death anxiety score averages. The mean pre-exercise death anxiety score of the control group was found to be 8.33. The mean post-exercise score was found to be 8.22. Conclusion: There was no significant effect of 8 weeks of exercise on death anxiety. It is understood that even if exercise has some positive physical and psychological contributions on the subjects during this period, a strong anxiety such as death cannot be eliminated in such a short time.

Introduction: Death anxiety is one of the main elements in mental health in older adults. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of improving emotional intelligence on death anxiety in older adults in Kashan City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was carried out on 60 older adults referred to health clinics in Kashan City, Iran, in 2019. The participants were randomly allocated to the control and experimental groups. Before the intervention, a demographics data questionnaire and death anxiety scale was filled out by the two groups. The experimental group received emotional intelligence education in eight sessions (twice a week). The control group received no intervention. The study measures included a demographic checklist and the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS). Immediately and one month after the intervention, both groups filled out the death anxiety scale again. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests such as t test, the Chi-square, and repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: The results showed that 22 participants (73.3%) and 17 (56.7%) were in the 61-65 age range in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Based on the Chi-square test, there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding demographical data, including age, gender, marital status, education, and job. The results of repeated-measures ANOVA in the experimental group showed that the mean scores of death anxiety decreased over the 3 time points (P<0.05). Also, the post hoc test showed a significant difference in death anxiety scores at different time points in the experimental group (P<0.05). The t test results showed no statistically significant difference in the mean score of death anxiety before the intervention between the two groups, but at the end of the sessions (P=0.006) and one month after the intervention (P=0.001), this difference was significant. Conclusion: The results indicated that improving emotional intelligence in older adults decreased their death anxiety. It is recommended that nurses use this method to decrease death anxiety in older adults.

The present study compared death anxiety level in 1988 (i.e., before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990) and six readings in the years 1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, and 2002 (i.e., after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991). The total samples for comparison were 2,221 male and female Kuwaiti volunteer undergraduates. The Arabic version of the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) was used with all groups. It was found that all the sex-related differences in the same year of the seven testing occasions were significant. For males, the mean DAS scores after the invasion in 1993, 1995, and 1996 were only significantly higher than that before the invasion. With females, there were a number of fluctuations; however, there was a significant increase of the DAS mean score directly after the invasion in comparison with that before it. By and large, the present findings support the Templer's theory regarding death anxiety as a fluid entity influenced by environmental events, particularly war-related experiences.
