The present study aimed to determine the structural relationships between the separation maladaptive schema and death anxiety, with the mediating role of the meaning of life and social support. The present research was descriptive-correlational based on path analysis. The statistical population of this study included all nurses who worked in Tehran hospitals in 2022-2023 and provided care for end-of-life patients. We selected 203 individuals using a purposive sampling method. Instruments used in the study include the Death Anxiety Scale (DAS, Templer, 1970), The multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS, Zimmet et al, 1988), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MSQ, Steger et al. 2006), and Young's schema questionnaire-Short form (YSQ-SF, Young, 1990). Data were analyzed using the path analysis method. The results showed separation schema had a direct effect on death anxiety and an indirect effect through the mediation of the meaning of life and the perception of social support (p<0.001). Also, the results showed that the separation schema directly affected social support and meaning in life. The results showed that the model had a good fit. According to these findings, it can be concluded that the schema of separation through meaning in life and the perception of social support plays an important role in the formation of death anxiety in nurses.
