The current research has aimed to investigate the role of mental disorders’ symptoms in the prediction of death depression and death among hospitalized cardiovascular patients. Method: The study was carried out as a correlational work. The statistical population consisted of all cardiovascular patients admitted to Shahid Madani Hospital of Khorramabad in 2019. For this purpose, a sample of 183 patients (107 males, 46 females) were selected by convenience sampling method. The participants filled out the Derogatis SCL-90-R, Templer Death Depression Scale, and Templer Death Anxiety Scale. Data was analyzed through logistic regression method using SPSS-22 software. Results: The results indicate that the proportion of death depression and death anxiety in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular disease significantly increases with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, and higher age. In addition, the results of logistic regression analysis revealed that depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive thoughts, and higher age significantly predict 27.5% to 30.9% and 22.3% to 29.2% of the variance of death anxiety and death depression, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusion: Evaluation of mental disorders in hospitalized cardiovascular patients is recommended to obtain a more reliable prognosis and treatment.
