Deriving an overview of existing literature on the psychological and social factors linked to death anxiety may inform conceptual models, clinical screening, and intervention strategies in oncology and palliative care. Therefore, the present scoping review was conducted to summarize the current literature on the psychosocial correlates of death anxiety among individuals with advanced cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A comprehensive scoping review methodology was used following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. A literature search was conducted using four electronic databases: CINAHL, Embase, PsycInfo, and MEDLINE. Abstracts and full\u2010text articles were screened, and relevant data were extracted and summarized.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen psychosocial correlates of death anxiety were identified, with depression, spiritual well\u2010being, and attachment security representing the most frequently investigated. Four previously tested death anxiety models were also identified, two of which were designed longitudinally.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review provides a current summary of psychosocial factors and established models related to death anxiety in advanced cancer. Multiple psychosocial correlates should be targeted concurrently in research and clinical practice to address death anxiety. Longitudinal studies designed to test new models are especially needed to identify unique pathways contributing to death anxiety across the disease trajectory of advanced cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.70068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,31]],"date-time":"2024-12-31T09:15:16Z","timestamp":1735636516000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Psychosocial Correlates of Death Anxiety in Advanced Cancer: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9326-9663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tyler L.","family":"Brown","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"Department of Family Medicine McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippa","family":"Chown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheldon","family":"Solomon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Skidmore College  Saratoga Springs New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Genevieve","family":"Gore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Schulich Library of Physical Sciences Life Sciences, and Engineering McGill University  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4684-4586","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janet M.","family":"De Groot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Calgary  Calgary Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychosocial and Rehabilitation Oncology Tom Baker Cancer Centre  Calgary Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher J.","family":"MacKinnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monkland Psychology Clinic  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6626-6974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gary","family":"Rodin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Princess Margaret Cancer Centre University Health Network (UHN)  Toronto Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of Toronto  Toronto Canada"},{"name":"Global Institute of Psychosocial Palliative and End\u2010of\u2010Life Care University Health Network (UHN)  Toronto Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin J.","family":"Sanders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine McGill University  Montreal Canada"},{"name":"McGill University Health Centre Research Institute  Montreal Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"Existential Psychotherapy","author":"Yalom I.
