Data were collected through unstructured interviews. With qualitative approach of analyzing the content of Graneheim&Lundman 2004had been analyzed. Results: From analyzing data three themes including Stuckat thecrossroadsof deaththreats, seeking a way to stay and forced to compromise with the situation had been emerged. Themes and subthemes indicate anxieties and strategies of the patients in hospital environment. Conclusion: Facing several stressful factors during care period and not meeting physical, psychological and educational needs lead to feeling fear and threat in the patients.
