Death Anxiety During the Last Year of Life in Patients With Advanced Cancer: Longitudinal Results From the eQuiPe Study
Overview
This longitudinal study from the eQuiPe research group tracks death anxiety trajectories in 629 patients with stage IV solid cancer during their final year of life. The resource reports that anxiety levels remained stable over time, affecting approximately 12% to 15% of participants, and identifies associations with factors such as sex, age, fatigue, coping style, and social support. It is primarily intended for clinicians or researchers interested in the prevalence and psychosocial correlates of end-of-life distress in advanced cancer populations.
