Objective To understand the status and coping strategies of death anxiety among military nurses participating in emergency public health incident response,and to provide references for improving their coping abilities.Methods A purposive sampling and snowball sampling method were used to select 15 nurses from multiple military hospitals who supported the emergency public health incident.One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted,and the Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview data.Results Four themes were identified:the occurrence of death anxiety at different time points;the presence of significant outbreaks of death anxiety;multiple factors that help military nurses alleviate death anxiety;and the intrinsic motivation and gains of military nurses participating in the response.Conclusions It is crucial to monitor the occurrence and changes in death anxiety among nurses throughout the entire cycle of emergency public health incidents.Managers should focus on value guidance,leverage individual positive strengths to cope with death anxiety,enhance information and social support,reinforce training on infectious disease prevention and death education,and reduce the level of death anxiety among military nurses and improve their coping abilities.
