The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of lack of tolerance for uncertainty in people with physical disabilities on health promotion. Data were collected from 250 people with physical disabilities living in five regions: Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang. Of these, the final 170 copies were used for the final analysis, excluding 80 copies with inconsistent responses or omissions. The survey tool was used by modifying and supplementing the questionnaire about lack of tolerance for uncertainty and health promotion used in previous studies. For the collected data, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and structural equation model analysis were used using SPSS and AMOS analysis programs. The derived research results are as follows. First, mental pain and work-life dissatisfaction due to uncertainty, which are sub-factors of the disabled's lack of tolerance for uncertainty, did not affect all factors of health care, interpersonal relationships, and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promotion behavior. . Second, it was found that the loss of confidence and difficulty in work progress due to uncertainty, which are sub-factors of the disabled's lack of tolerance for uncertainty, have a positive (+) effect on health management and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promotion behavior. These research results are research data that can confirm the will to health of the disabled, and indicate the justification for the need to provide various programs for the health promotion of the disabled.
