Abstract

ABSTRACT Death is not viewed as the absolute end, but rather as a gateway to a continued spiritual existence or rebirth. The main objective of this study is to find out the publication trend of death attitude-related articles from 2015 to 2024. The study used the bibliometric analysis method to analyze the data published in Dimensions. Analysis of death attitude publications over the past decade reveals increasing interest, with a peak in 2021 but a decline in 2022 and 2023. Citation analysis shows a steady rise in citations until 2022, followed by a slight decline. The percentage of publications with citations has decreased over the years. Metrics like FCR and RCR indicate fluctuating citation impact. Interdisciplinary research is evident, with dominant categories including "Human Society," "Health Sciences," and "Law and Legal Studies." Leading countries in death attitude research include the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Challenges such as declining citation uptake underscore the need for enhanced dissemination efforts. Death attitude research has seen increasing interest and impact, significant challenges in citation uptake and fluctuating impact highlight the need for strategic improvements in research dissemination and visibility. Addressing these issues is essential to maintain and enhance the field's scholarly influence.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of living arrangements on death attitudes among elderly individuals in Nepal's Chitwan and Jhapa districts. A cross-sectional survey of 127 participants (79 in elder homes, 48 in their own homes) was conducted and analyzed using SPSS v.20. Significant differences in death attitudes were found based on living arrangements. Elder home residents showed greater acceptance of quick death, less fear, and viewed death more as relief from pain. They preferred dying in religious places, while those in their own homes preferred passing at home. Belief in reincarnation was higher among those living independently. The study reveals that living environments significantly influence elderly individuals' death attitudes, with elder home residents exhibiting more acceptance towards death. These findings suggest a need for tailored end-of-life care and support services that consider living arrangements and cultural contexts, contributing to the discourse on geriatric care in diverse settings.
