The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of religious attitude on death anxiety among patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. This cross-sectional study included 77 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The religious attitude scale (RAS) and the death anxiety scale (DAS) were used to collect data. The results revealed a moderately strong negative relationship between the mean RAS total score and the mean DAS total score ( r = − 0.350, p < 0.05). Additionally, religious attitude accounted for 12% of the variance in death anxiety ( R 2 = 0.12). Accordingly, the levels of religious attitude exhibited by patients may negatively affect their death anxiety.
