Death anxiety levels were measured; Pretest–Treatment–Posttest–Follow-up Posttest in a sample (n=43) of Hospice volunteers & a control group (n=20). A general information questionnaire, the TMS, & the IES were administered. Results indicated that there was no significant difference in death anxiety between the 2 groups at the conclusion of training. (NBB)
