This study aimed to predict health anxiety based on attachment styles, distress tolerance, and difficulties in emotional regulation in nurses. This research was basic research and regarding procedure, it was a correlation study. The statistical population of the present study was all the nurses of Milad Hospital in Tehran in 2022, from whom 131 people were selected as a sample. Research tools included: Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI, Salkovskis & Warwick, 2002), Adult Attachment Inventory (AAI, Simpson, 1990), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS, Simons & Gaher, 2005), and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS, Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression. The research results showed that there is a significant correlation (p<0.01) between health anxiety with insecure attachment style (r=0.42), distress tolerance (r=0.41), and difficulties in emotional regulation (r=0.42). Also, insecure attachment style (B=0.257 & p=0.003), distress tolerance (B=0.232 & p=0.008), and difficulties in emotional regulation (B=0.263 & p=0.002) were able to predict 30% of health anxiety changes. It can be concluded that attachment styles, distress tolerance, and difficulties in emotional regulation play a key role in nurses' health anxiety, and it is necessary to pay attention to these factors in interaction with each other in programs to reduce nurses' health anxiety.
