Results: Mean score of uncertainty was 107.73±21.72 (possible range 33∼165), Uncertainty had a statistically significant differences according to Marital status(F=.84 p=.004), Perceived economic status(F=5.52, p=.006), Post operative period (F=3.19, p=.029), Perceived health status(F=19.35, p<.001), Decreased motor grade(F=6.09, p=.004), Decreased memory ability(F=6.63, p=.002).
Conclusion: In summary, these study showed that uncertainty was significantly associated with marital status, perceived economic status, post oprative period, perceived health status, decreased motor grade, decreased memory ability.
