摘要

It is possible that cyberchondria may be linked to anxiety and hospitalization. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are relationships between cyberchondria, the frequency of emergency department admission, and death anxiety in patients with arrhythmia. This descriptive, correlational study was conducted in 225 patients with arrhythmia the majority of whom were Muslim. The data were collected via the “Patient Description Form,” “Cyberchondria Severity Scale Short Form (CSS-15),” and “Abdel-Khalek Death Anxiety Scale (ASDA)”. The mean scores on the Cyberchondria Severity Scale Short Form 15 and Abdel-Khalek Death Anxiety Scale were 55.82 ± 6.20 and 75.25 ± 10.03, respectively. The frequency of emergency department visits and the mean scores of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale Short Form and the Abdel-Khalek Death Anxiety Scale were not significantly related. The mean scores between the Cyberchondria Severity Scale Short Form and the Abdel-Khalek Death Anxiety Scale showed a statistically significant positive and moderate relationship (r =.343, p <.05). The simple linear regression model, in which the CSS-15 score was the independent variable and the ASDA score was the dependent variable, was statistically significant (F = 21.260; p <.001). The severity of cyberchondria was not related to the frequency of emergency department admission, but death anxiety increased with the severity of cyberchondria.
