Abstract The purpose of this research was to determine the share of each employment status, marital status, education, degree of disability and gender variables in predicting the mental health of the physically disabled. The subjects consisted of members of Isfahani Society of the Disabled who had been randomly selected. To assess the mental health of the physically disabled, the General Health questionnaire ( GHQ - ) was used. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that employment status can significantly predict the rate of mental health in the physically disabled (p= ) and adding the marital status variable to employment status variable increases significantly the predicting power of their mental health (p= ) but adding any one ok education degree of disability and gender variables to the employment status and marital status variables can not increase significantly the predicting power of the mental health in the physically disabled.
