摘要
本研究旨在探讨长者自我照顾能力与死亡焦虑的关系。研究样本包括163名申请到大学医院内科和胸部疾病门诊的老年人。采用死亡焦虑(DAS)和自我照顾代理(SCAS)量表进行数据收集。受试者的DAS平均得分为6.76±3.25分，较低。平均SCAS评分为94.35±16.37分，中等。自我照顾能动性与死亡焦虑呈极弱正相关(p = 0.044, r = 0.158)。无固定收入的老年人的死亡焦虑水平高于有固定收入的老年人(p < 0.05)。死亡焦虑水平在性别和婚姻状况方面存在显著差异(p < 0.05)。老年人低水平的死亡焦虑可能对维持其自我照顾能力有积极影响。护理人员应参与培训活动和干预措施，以提高老年人的自我护理能力和确定死亡焦虑。
Determination of the Relationship Between Self-Care Agency and Death Anxiety Among Elderly Individuals.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-care agency and death anxiety among elderly individuals. The study sample consisted of 163 elderly individuals who applied to the internal medicine and chest diseases outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Death anxiety (DAS) and Self-care agency (SCAS) scales were used for data collection. The mean DAS score of the participants was found 6.76 ± 3.25 and low. The mean SCAS scores was 94.35 ± 16.37 and moderate. A positive very weak correlation was found between self-care agency and death anxiety (p = 0.044, r = 0.158). Elderly individuals without regular income had higher levels of death anxiety compared to those with regular income (p < 0.05). A significant difference was found in death anxiety levels with respect to the sex and marital status (p < 0.05). The low-level death anxiety on elderly individuals may have a positive effect on maintaining their self-care agency. Nurses should engage in training activities and interventions to increase the levels of self-care agency and determine the death anxiety among elderly individuals.
