Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological toughness and emotional processing with the rate of death anxiety in older women during coronation. The design of the present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this study included all women in nursing homes in Mashhad in the first quarter of 1400, from which several nursing homes were available and 184 elderly were selected as a sample group. Participants responded to the Calt-Leicester Death Anxiety Scale, Kiamers et al.'s Psychological Hardiness Scale, and the Baker et al. Emotional Processing Scale. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression. The results of Pearson correlation showed that there is a significant negative relationship between psychological toughness and death anxiety. Also, a positive and significant correlation was found between the dimensions of emotional processing and death anxiety. The results of stepwise regression analysis also showed that among the components of emotional processing, two components of emotional symptoms of emotional processing and control and the variable of psychological toughness have a significant contribution in predicting death anxiety in the elderly.
