| dc.description.abstract | The elderly represent the end of the human life cycle. The physical and psychological state of the elderly
will alter at this time. The elderly sometimes believe that death will strike at any moment when
circumstances are unfavorable. Even if this awareness of the look of death appears, each person's or
group's perception or understanding of death may differ. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how
elderly people see death. Methods: This study employed the phenomenological design for qualitative
research literature review approach, which is derived from three databases (PubMed, Scient Direct,
and Google Sholar) for prior investigations. The papers were published between 2016 and 2020. Results
and analysis: One international journal and three national periodicals were the primary sources for this
study. Discussion and Conclusion: According to research findings based on multiple journals, elderly
people have a very diverse understanding of death. However, it is clear that elderly people view death
as an inevitable event that cannot be rejected or avoided, so they are aware that it may happen at any
time. For the elderly, better oneself and growing closer to God is also a form of self-evaluation. Every
person has a different perspective on mortality in the elderly. Spiritual considerations, familial support
factors, and experience factors are all elements that have an impact on how older people perceive
death. The experience factor is the end consequence of the major component influencing perception
of death. | en_US |
