Results: Fear of Death among Medical and Non-medical Students (t=-3.988, P=0.000), Death Avoidance (t=-2.560, P=0.011) and Approach Acceptance (t=-3.028, P=0.003) all three dimensions were statistically different, dimension of Neutral Acceptance (t=0.752, P=0.453), and Escape Acceptance (t=-1.112, P=0.267) there was no statistical difference. There was statistical difference in the proportion of medical students and non-medical students receiving death education (χ2=20.058, P=0.000).
