چکیده
زمینه و هدف: یکی از مسائل شایع دوران سالمندی مواجهه با مرگ و اضطراب همراه آن است که در ایجاد اختلالات روانی در این دوره نقش مهمی دارد. مطالعه حاضر باهدف بررسی تأثیر مراقبت معنوی بر میزان اضطراب مرگ سالمندان حاضر در مرکز سالمندان نیشابور و سالمندان ساکن آسایشگاه مادر سبزوار انجام شد.
مواد و روشها: این مطالعه کار آزمایی بالینی روی 49 سالمند واجد شرایط شرکت در پژوهش در شهرهای سبزوار و نیشابور انجام شد. ابزار جمعآوری دادهها شامل مقیاس اضطراب مرگ تمپلر بود. سالمندان شهر سبزوار بهعنوان گروه کنترل و سالمندان شهر نیشابور بهعنوان گروه مداخله انتخاب شدند. پرسشنامه اضطراب مرگ تمپلر برای هر دو گروه تکمیل شد. سپس برای گروه مداخله، 8 جلسه آموزشی برگزار شد. بلافاصله پس از اتمام و یک ماه بعد از مداخله پرسشنامهها توسط هر 2 گروه تکمیل شد. تجزیهوتحلیل دادهها با نرمافزار SPSS و سطح معناداری کمتر از 05/0 انجام شد.
یافتهها: میزان اضطراب مرگ قبل از مداخله در گروه مداخله و کنترل به ترتیب (78/2±09/8) و (78/2±26/7) بود که ازنظر آماری اختلاف معناداری نداشت، اما بلافاصله بعد از مداخله و یک ماه بعد از مداخله میانگین اضطراب مرگ در دو گروه اختلاف معناداری داشت 0001/0>p).
نتیجهگیری: میتوان نتیجهگیری کرد اجرای برنامه مراقبت معنوی در کاهش اضطراب مرگ سالمندان مؤثر است؛ بنابراین تقویت انجام مراقبت معنوی در کنار سایر روشهای حمایتی، بهعنوان یک روش مؤثر و مقرونبهصرفه باهدف ارتقای وضعیت روانشناختی سالمندان پیشنهاد میشود.

چکیده [English]
Introduction: Death anxiety is a prevalent issue among the elderly, which plays an important role in causing mental disorders. This study explores the effect of spiritual care on death anxiety levels among the elderly in daycare centers of Neyshabur and Madar Nursing Home in Sabzevar.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial involved 49 elderly participants eligible for inclusion from daycare centers in Neyshabur and the Madar nursing home in Sabzevar. The data collection instrument utilized was Templer’s Death Anxiety Scale. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group receiving spiritual care or a control group. Both groups completed Templer’s death anxiety questionnaire before the intervention. The intervention group underwent eight spiritual training sessions. Post-intervention assessments were conducted immediately after the sessions and one month later, with questionnaires completed by both groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-26 software, with a significance level of P < 0.05.
Results: Before the intervention, the mean death anxiety levels were (8.09 ± 2.78) for the intervention group and (7.26 ± 2.78) for the control group, showing no statistically significant difference. However, immediately after the intervention and one month later, significant differences in mean death anxiety levels were observed between the two groups (p < 0.0001)
Conclusion: : The findings suggest that implementing a spiritual care program is effective in reducing death anxiety among the elderly. Therefore, enhancing spiritual care, alongside other supportive methods, is recommended as an effective and cost-efficient strategy to improve the psychological well-being of elderly individuals.
