Abstract

The circumstances of advanced cancer can cause considerable psychological distress, including death anxiety and demoralization. Although these states of existential distress have a negative impact on the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer, they are rarely evaluated as outcomes or targets of interventions in this population. In an effort to improve understanding of existential distress, a structural model of relationships among death anxiety, demoralization, symptom burden, and social relatedness was tested in patients with advanced cancer.
