This paper has been designed to examine death anxiety among chronic disease patients through the role of spiritual well-being, mental health issues, religious beliefs, symptoms of depression, symptoms of anxiety, and life satisfaction among patients. The data have been collected from the patients facing chronic disease and admitted in public sector hospitals. A sample of 1377 patients has been drawn using a proportionate random sampling technique and a cross-sectional survey has been used as a technique of data collection. A self-administered structured questionnaire has been used and pilot testing has also been done on 30 patients. The study findings outline the favourable effects of religious beliefs and spiritual well-being in minimizing death anxiety specifically with operative psychological interventions for patients facing diseases. However, the study findings also conclude that mental health illness, symptoms of anxiety, and symptoms of depression had favourable effects to enhance death anxiety among patients facing chronic disease
