Results: Data analysis After discarding The distorted and incomplete answer sheets using the path analysis method by SPSS-24 and Amos-24 showed that distress tolerance can positively and significantly explain the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and health anxiety (P<0.05). Therefore, the mediating role of Intolerance o uncertainty was confirmed. Conclusion: According to the mediating role of Intolerance of uncertainty in the relationship between Anxiety sensitivity and Health anxiety, focusing on the components of anxiety sensitivity and distress tolerance in interventional processes can be useful and effective in controlling health anxiety symptoms.
