COPING WITH FEAR: ASSISTING NEWLY DIAGNOSEL) TERMINALLY DISEASED PERSONS ENCOUNTERING FEAR OF DYING. Olaf Bothe. University of Alabama School of Nursing, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL. 35294-1210 Death and dying are issues rather put aside and not talked about, even in the medical community. This study examines the issue of fear as experienced by persons dying of a terminal disease. This is a qualitative descriptive study. Data will be collected in direct interviews about terminally diseased persons' fear of dying. state of acceptance, and their perception of the closing process. Subjects will be interviewed within a few weeks after being admitted to a hospice program. The goal of the study is to reveal patterns of strategies patients use or desire to overcome fear, accept, and come to a closing before dying. The relevance of the information is to help educate caregivers in end-of-life care in order to help with guidance through this most difficult process. Data collection for the study met with initial barriers in areas of census-age limitations and subject readiness to participate. These barriers are listed as preliminary results. Taking these results in consideration modifications were planned to c ontinue the study until saturation is accomplished. Data collection is still in progress. Final results are not yet available.
