Death anxiety measurement using Templer Death Anxiety Scale: a systematic review and validation study
Overview
This paper presents a systematic review and validation study of the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS) among Indian nurses. The authors address cultural gaps in existing literature by conducting a systematic review of prior validations and a cross-sectional study with 1,360 participants to assess psychometric properties. The research identifies a three-factor structure for the scale and reports acceptable reliability and model fit indices.
