This study aimed to determine the relationship of death anxiety with quality of life and social support in hemodialysis patients. This cross-sectional research was conducted on 226 patients with chronic renal failure. The results indicated that the means and standard deviations of MSPSS, QoL, and death anxiety of patients were 57.4 ± 10.1, 28.8 ± 5.9, and 42.5 ± 4.1, respectively. A significant negative correlation was found between QoL scores and death anxiety in hemodialysis patients ( p = 0.007, r = -0.179). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between MSPSS scores and patients' death anxiety. The total score of patients' death anxiety decreased with increasing the total QoL score ( p < 0.001, b = -0.18). Different variables that can affect death anxiety and QoL should be identified in the patient examination process. Also, the health care system should consider necessary planning to increase the QoL and reduce death anxiety
