Patients who were admitted to the city hospital’s cardiology outpatient clinic and were followed up in the outpatient clinic with the diagnosis of hypertension and ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction for the last one year were included in the study. The research data were collected using a Patient Information Form and the \`Abdel Khalek Death Anxiety Scale\`. Results: The mean death anxiety scale score was 46.38±16.72 in hypertension patients, 38.27±12.84 in patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction, and 48.93±16.83 in healthy individuals. A significant difference was found between the death anxiety scores of patients with hypertension compared to patients with ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.007);. Death anxiety scores of the groups were found to be correlated with some sociodemographic characteristics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);.
