Along with the growth of the aging population and of elderly patients with chronic and disabling conditions, the number of family caregivers will continue to rise. Caregiving has been associated with negative physical and psychological impact on the caregivers' health, as well as with higher prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and higher risk of mortality. Although there is substantial research on the relationship between caregiving and depression and some research on the relationship between depression and death anxiety in the general population, there remains a gap in the literature regarding possible relationships among depression, death anxiety, and coping in family caregivers. The purpose of this study was to examine if any of the demographic variables would be significant predictors of death anxiety and if death anxiety would be significant predictor of depression and coping in the sample of adult family caregivers of adult patients. Three theories served as a base for this study: the transactional theory of stress, the health belief model, and the terror management theory. Participants included a convenience sample of 46 family caregivers. Participants completed the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death and Dying Scale, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Revised, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis identified significant relationships between death anxiety, depression, coping, and duration of caregiver experience. The findings of this study could help promote positive social change by providing medical practitioners and psychologists with enhanced knowledge, facilitating development of interventions helping to deal with death anxiety, and achieving efficient coping in the family caregivers.
