In terms of purpose, the present study is applied. The research design is descriptive and correlational through structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study was all individuals who had suffered from death due to coronary artery disease during coronary heart disease. A total of 150 members were selected by convenience sampling and referred to the McLean (1993) Ambiguity Tolerance Questionnaire, the death anxiety questionnaire. Templer (1970) and Cohen et al.
