Abstract
Resilience is the capacity to recover from difficulties and toughness in life rapidly. It is also described as the ability to successfully negotiate, adjust to, or manage significant sources of stress or trauma during this method. On the other hand, death anxiety or fear of death is present in all living humans, but it becomes more evident in settings where mortality is a factor (Greenberg et al., 1990). The current pandemic has not only thrown our lives into disarray, confusion, and disorder, but it has also thrown us into an endless era of mortality, when no one can be sure of their own well-being or safety. Covid-19 pandemic has potentially increased the level of stress, anxiety, fear, frustration, social deprivation and has affected our physical and mental well-being. Hence, the present study aimed to study the difference and relationship in resilience and death anxiety among covid positive and covid negative people. Results show that there is no difference in resilience between covid positive and covid negative people, no significant difference in death anxiety between covid positive and covid negative people, there is no relationship between resilience and death anxiety among covid positive people, whereas there is a significant relationship between resilience and death anxiety among covid negative people.
