چکیده
Objective: The coronavirus and its variants continue to threaten the physical and mental health of many individuals, particularly among older adults with COVID-۱۹. The current study aimed to investigate the mediating role of psychological well-being in explaining the effect of perceived social support on death anxiety among the elderly with COVID-۱۹ experience in Tehran.Methods and Materials: This descriptive correlational study's population comprised all elderly men and women aged ۶۵ to ۷۵ years living at home in Tehran in ۲۰۲۲, who had experienced COVID-۱۹ in the past six months. Among them, ۴۰۰ individuals were purposively selected as the sample group and responded to the Death Anxiety Scale (Templer, ۱۹۷۰), the Perceived Social Support Scale (Zimet et al., ۱۹۸۸), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, ۱۹۸۹). For data analysis, the structural equation modeling method was used. The data obtained through confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS۲۴ software showed that the research's structural model fits with the collected data.Findings: There was a positive and significant relationship between perceived social support and psychological well-being, a negative and significant relationship between perceived social support and death anxiety, and a negative and significant relationship between psychological well-being and death anxiety. Also, the indirect pathways between death anxiety and perceived social support, and death anxiety were proven (p = ۰.۰۰۱).Conclusion: Considering the results of the present study, it can be said that perceived social support influences death anxiety among the elderly with COVID-۱۹ experience through psychological well-being. The findings of the current study can be utilized by counselors, psychologists, and health specialists.Objective: The coronavirus and its variants continue to threaten the physical and mental health of many individuals, particularly among older adults with COVID-۱۹.
