A Model for Treating Death Anxiety Based on God-oriented Multidimensional Spiritual Psychotherapy

Background and Objectives: The present study was conducted to present and compile a conceptual model of effective structures in the treatment of death anxiety based on religious texts and assess its validity. Methods: A mixed exploratory research method (quantitative and qualitative) was used. In the qualitative part, collecting texts, the method of semantic fields was used, while qualitative content analysis was applied in the text analysis phase. In the quantitative part of the research, the method of evaluating the opinions of experts was used. Using targeted sampling based on the principle of saturation, 27 related words and 549 religious propositions were collected and analyzed from Islamic sources. Results: Finally, eight themes, 16 categories, and 63 components were extracted. To ensure the compatibility of the findings with the literary content and their applicability in the field of psychology, their validity was investigated based on the opinion of 12 experts by calculating the content validity index (CVI) and the content validity ratio (CVR), and finally, the conceptual model of effective structures in the treatment of death anxiety was drawn in the form of a general schema. Conclusion: The findings of this research provide a suitable platform for the design of intervention therapies and educational packages in this regard
