dc.description.abstractAim: This study aims to determine the correlation between global climate change anxiety and death anxiety in women. Method: The population of this correlational descriptive study consisted of women who lived in a informal living conditions in a province due to the earthquake. Five hundred women were included in the study. The data were collected using a Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Climate Change Anxiety Scale, and the Death Anxiety Scale by holding face-to-face interviews with women who lived in the informal living conditions between June and September 2024. Findings: The total mean score of the women on the climate change anxiety scale was 20.73 +/- 8.05. The total mean score of the participants on the death anxiety scale was 9.55 +/- 3.34 (Table 2). A statistically significant positive weak correlation was found between the total mean score of the participants on the Climate Change Anxiety Scale and their total mean score on the Death Anxiety Scale (p < .05). Conclusion: The anxiety level of the participants about climate change could be considered to be low. The death anxiety score of the women was 'severe'. As the climate change anxiety of the participants increased, so did their death anxiety.
