BACKGROUND: Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARTI) affect millions of people worldwide every year and leave irreversible damage. The consequences of the disease cause patients to experience death anxiety. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between authenticity and death anxiety in ARTI hospitalized patients. METHODS: The participants were 400 ARTI hospitalized patients in one of the hospitals in eastern Iran who were selected by sequential convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were Authenticity Inventory and Death Anxiety Questionnaire. RESULTS: The results showed that there was a significant inverse correlation between authenticity and death anxiety in patients (p < 0.05). Also, authenticity level predicted death anxiety. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of this study, it seems necessary to design professional and specialized mental health services for ARTI patients in order to increase authenticity and reduce death anxiety.
