Participants were chosen through a process of simple random sampling from individuals who fulfilled the established entry criteria for the study. Data pertinent to the research were amassed during two intervals: at the commencement of the study and upon conclusion of the intervention (specifically, at the end of the fourth week). The instruments utilized for the research comprised a death anxiety questionnaire, a self-compassion questionnaire, and a perceived stress questionnaire. The training protocol implemented in the study consisted of a comprehensive four-week program, delivered in the format of one-hour sessions occurring twice weekly.<br> <b>Results</b>: The findings of the study indicated a statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the dependent variables, with 52.1% of the variance attributable to the changes in these variables resulting from the applied intervention.<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: Consequently, it can be concluded that palliative care is effective in ameliorating death anxiety, fostering self-compassion, and alleviating perceived stress in patients with leukemia, thereby warranting its recommendation as a targeted intervention.</span></span></span></span></div> Palliative Care, Death Anxiety, Self-Compassion, Perceived Stress, Patients with Leukemia 149 162 http://ieepj.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-17&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Azar Azadian 100319475328460010385 100319475328460010385 No PhD student in Health Psychology, Payam Noor University, International Branch, Tehran, Iran Masoud Navidi Moghadam m.navidi.m@pnu.ac.ir 100319475328460010386 100319475328460010386 Yes Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, Payam Noor University, Qom, Iran َAli Najati 100319475328460010387 100319475328460010387 No PhD in Mathematics, Faculty of Islamic Azad University, Tafresh Branch, Markazi Province, Iran
