Abstract

Background: The life threat and encountering death in individuals who recovered from COVID-19 hospitalization resulted in ongoing psychological and emotional damage experienced after being fully recovered, even after several years. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prediction of Death Anxiety based on Expressed Emotion, Intolerance of Uncertainty, and Experiential Avoidance in patients recovered from COVID-19 hospitalization. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used in this study. All individuals in Khorramabad who have recovered from COVID-19-related hospitalization in the first half of 2024 constituted the study population. Among them, 190 people were selected using the snowball sampling method. The research tools were the Templer Death Anxiety questionnaire, the Cole and Kazarian Expressed Emotion questionnaire, the Freeston, et al. Intolerance of Uncertainty questionnaire, and the Bond, et al. experimental avoidance questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS-24 software. Results: The regression analysis indicated that Expressed Emotions could negatively predict Death Anxiety in patients who recovered from COVID-19 hospitalization (p≤0. 001). Conversely, the Intolerance of Uncertainty and Experiential Avoidance could positively predict Death Anxiety in the target group (p≤0. 001). Conclusion: This study highlights the role of emotional factors and dysfunctional cognitive patterns such as Intolerance of Uncertainty and Experiential Avoidance in the development of Death Anxiety in individuals who recovered from COVID-19-related hospitalization. Therefore, psychologists, counsellors, and psychiatrists may use techniques that promote adaptive emotional regulation strategies and cognitive strategies in the treatment of Death Anxiety in patients who recovered from COVID-19.
