Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between coping strategies, social support, mindfulness, and death anxiety among TB survivors. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 120 adult patients diagnosed with TB were enrolled from public hospital. Results: The patients had moderate death anxiety (M = 45.3, SD = 6.88). However, TB patients reported high perceived coping strategies, great social support, and dispositional mindfulness. The death anxiety was negatively associated with mindfulness (r = -0.211; p < .05) and with perceived social support (r = -0.368, p < .05). Attention awareness to living activity, perceived social support, type of TB, and duration of treatment were predicted the participants' death anxiety. Conclusions: The presence of death anxiety among TB patients is a significant and tangible issue that can significantly impact their overall well-being. Addressing this concern is pivotal for their mental resilience, treatment adherence, and overall recovery.
