简介
Purpose
An exploratory literature scoping review was conducted to investigate the health issues surrounding ‘death anxiety’ and to consider whether risky behaviour of young adults is a direct consequence of death anxiety particularly with respect to their ‘gender’.
Methods
A PICO literature search strategy was utilised to identify relevant local and international articles published after the year 2000 and catalogued within key online data bases.
Results
Out of 139 articles initially identified, 11 articles were found to be specifically relevant to the topic. Each article was coded according to a dominant theme or themes.
Conclusion
The majority of research articles indicated that regardless of age and gender, young adults experienced death anxiety and engaged in risky behaviour due to a variety of influences such as age, gender, religion/culture and locus of control.
