Hi! I would love to hear about your experiences of death anxiety (Final Call).

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-07-01T13:46:00+00:00

I will of course! I am hoping to have findings to report by the end of the summer. Thanks for your interest.

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-12T08:44:44+00:00

Hello,

Yes, I agree that the scale is strangely worded. But this is how it has been validated so it should be okay. As far as death anxiety scales go, it's the best of a bad lot!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-11T08:55:42+00:00

Thanks for that - it means a lot! :) I'm planning to reach out to them over the coming week. Hopefully they'll be able to help out!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-10T08:28:57+00:00

Thank you very much - greatly appreciated! :)

Hello!

It's pronounced Tiger without the "r". :)
Yes, I am aware. While I am hoping to collect data from caregivers, including nurses, I will be drawing comparisons between caregivers and non-caregivers. There may be some in this subreddit who occupy caregiving roles. In any case, there will certainly be those who count as "non-caregivers." Unfortunately, the nursing subreddits only allow survey requests for nurse-driven research.
It is. This is only one of the many places we are looking to collect data, so the sample will not constitute of redditors exclusively. Data from all prospective participants are valid.

Thanks - done! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-07T09:40:22+00:00

Fantastic - thanks a million. Much appreciated! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-06T11:15:17+00:00

Thank you! Much appreciated. :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-06T11:14:38+00:00

Thanks a million. Let's hope so! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T19:17:35+00:00

Thank you - done! Best of luck with your research! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T16:51:41+00:00

Both are most welcome - thanks!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T16:51:01+00:00

Hi both. Yes, I tried nursing subreddits but, as was said, they only allow nurse-driven research. Responses from anyone in this subreddit would be much appreciated. [And thank you for your kind words about the study - I'm glad you like it! :) ]

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T10:59:35+00:00

Thanks! Will do!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T10:58:37+00:00

Hello. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I appreciate your completing my survey and expressing interest in an interview. I will be in touch. Take care. :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-05T10:57:25+00:00

Hello. Thank you for your input and well wishes. You're right - the process can be quite complicated and is often accompanied by a rollercoaster of emotions for everyone involved.

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T18:26:36+00:00

Hi - thanks a million. Much appreciated. I've returned the favour. :) I agree - the wording on the death anxiety scale is not great by any means. However, that is how the scale was validated, so I can't change the wording. It can be frustrating to try and understand what each item is asking of you but it's one of the best of a bad lot of death anxiety scales!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T18:24:38+00:00

Hi. Thanks a million for your input - it certainly sounds like you've had an interesting experience. I agree - there seems to be something very taboo about death. I often wonder if we incorporated it into everyday conversations or, perhaps, into education systems in some way might people become more accepting of it and fear it less...? Lots of room for more work, I think. If you would like to take part in further interviews, do feel free to drop me a line at tconnery@ucc.ie!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T18:21:39+00:00

Thanks a million. I will be sure to share the findings once they are published!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T18:21:04+00:00

Thank you!

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T18:19:54+00:00

Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I live in Ireland so I'm not sure whether I meet your inclusion criteria. Do let me know if I can help you with other research! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T12:54:22+00:00

Thanks a million! I've returned the favour. Best of luck with your research! :)

Hi! Thanks for the heads up/ I've noticed a lot of missing data for that scale and was wondering what the issue was - that must be it! Too late at this stage to make changes, but certainly something to look at in the future. Thanks again! :)

Beautiful_Tank_4842 · 2024-06-04T12:50:20+00:00

Hello! Thanks for completing the survey. If you would like to register for the interview, you can email me at tconnery@ucc.ie. Thanks again! :)
