Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess and contrast the impact of psychosocial therapies on older individuals' death anxiety and to offer evidence-based recommendations to both older adults and healthcare professionals. Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were collected through a thorough search of multiple databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, etc. Review Manager 5.4 was employed to evaluate the caliber of the included studies, and STATA (15.1) was used for data analysis. Results: This study included seven randomized controlled trials with a total of 266 older adults, and the search time ranged from the earliest possible date to July 2024. The results of the Network Meta-Analysis (NMA) showed that the teaching the components of spiritual intelligence therapy significantly reduced death anxiety in the elderly (SUCRA: 99.6%). Conclusion: The network ranking chart showed that the teaching the components of spiritual intelligence therapy as a psychotherapeutic method, had the most superior efficacy in reducing death anxiety in the elderly.
